The wine might explain the laughter at the start of the track, have always loved how that song starts. The Producer and engineer couldn't see me so when it was finished they drew back the curtain and turned on the lights to find me covered in blood, they thought, I think, that I'd been mutilating myself in the name of method performance. I'd placed a glass on the floor, in the dark, and during te takes I'd somehow broken it without realising and cut myself. 'Swamp Song' - 'Undertow' (1993) Sexy, addictive and with one hell of bassline, Swamp Song sounds like trekking through mudin the best of dirty ways. We did about six takes all in all, each completely different, but I could tell from the Producer's voice on the intercom that we had something special. I'd tried to write something down but to be honest I was struggling and decided to use a 'stream f consciousness' approach, which involved a litre of wine in a very dark vocal booth. Notes by Mark - As I said on the album description the vocal was completely spontaneous, nothing actually written when I stepped up to the mike to do the take. You've probably seen them, but there are nice notes on lots of the songs on the Chameleons webpage. I think a stronger case can be made that the four "Tony Fletcher Walked on water, la la la la la.recordings are the best four Chameleons songs played in sequence. They played 'Swamp Thing', which is defintely one of my favorites (it's one of those songs where, when I'm listening on my headphones, I just want to run up to the nearest person and let them hear it, so they can know how amazing it is too), but the real chills came when they played 'Second Skin' and 'Up the Down Escalator'. I think Swamp Thing is an important song by the Chameleons to me since that was the first song I heard by the Chameleons which pretty much much made me an addict of their music. "Second Skin"-12 votes "Soul in Isolation"-8 Votes and "Swamp Thing"-6 votes. Swamp Song has been a long time coming, to see the light of day, but here it is.hope you like it.

It's a very very good song.but no song is the best ever.even the Chameleons with their album, "This Never Ending Now" would probably agree with that.
