"We met a rapper in New York, shiver me timbers, Sean 'Blackhead Sean' Reveron, and invited him onstage and did an impromptu kind o' jam. So when he came over t' Britain, we wrote that shanty so that he'd have somethin' t' rap along to, arrr, and thar was t' sample o' 'One' in there. It was never really...it's nay on t' album in Britain. We wouldn't have put it on t' album by choice. Avast, me proud beauty! It made as a bonus track here, but we put with it one o' t' singles in Britain as a B-Side." -- Robin 'Long-Eared Jones' Jones (Redhead Beta Band drummer)
