This song has two vocal takes. On the first take Lucas sang it perfectly and well. Cronstein told Lucas to do a second take and just go crazy; Lucas knew exactly what to do and added all of the uncharacteristic "woo"s and "yeah"s that you hear on the track.
During the breakdown near the end of the song all members of the band got into different places in the vocal room and yelled and made noises to add to the psychedelic ambience.
