Whats the deal with On Earth My Nina?.
On Earth My Nina, track number 14 on Long Tall Weekend was created by John Linnell as a kind of joke. One day he was fooling around with a recording of another (unreleased) TMBG song, Thunderbird. He had reversed it and was interested to hear what sounded like the phrase ‘On Earth My Nina’. Then he had the idea that he could create a song that sounded kind of like Thunderbird when you play it in reverse, so that’s what he did. Married with the idea that anyone who is downloading the MP3 has access to the technology to reverse it, it was the perfect candidate for Long Tall Weekend.
