The song originally featured somebody else's voice as well, but Grace Jones didn't want to double up. Albarn recalled: "I was in Jamaica, and finally Grace Jones showed up. I played the tune to her. She was like, 'Hmm, there's something not right about this.' I said, 'What is it? Do you want me to take out the keyboards?' 'No, it's this noise on here.' 'What noise? That guitar?' [Makes pinging sound] 'No, I love that.'"
"She wouldn't say it was this other person's voice. Clearly, once the voice had been taken off, the track was ready to work on. [Shakes his head] Some people don't necessarily want to be on the same tune with somebody else."

Fleetwood Mac cover! “We‘ve been playing this Fleetwood Mac cover for afew months in the live set now,” said Marius Lauber (aka Roosevelt), “and I’ve always wanted to record it properly.
