The inspiration for this song comes from the noughties when I participated in many clinical trials to fund my travels around Europe and North America. This song is a playful look at possible physical side-effects that might occur if things were to go wrong when trialling new pharmaceuticals as a human guinea-pig. Thankfully, in the six, or so, trials I participated in, I never experienced anything worse than a headache.
The song is in my usual Rock & Lol style, but now, imagine the usual Spaceman Africa rock vibe getting a bluesy/jazzy shuffle twist! Plus an amazing honky-tonk piano accompaniment by Canadian musician, and filmmaker, Rob McLean.
