It is an eight minute long instrumental featuring drum, bass, and guitar. Guitarist Larry LaLonde plays along to Les Claypool's slap bass with heavy distortion in a style influenced by Adrian Belew, creating seemingly dissonant sounds. Also of note is that in the beginning a quote from the Cheech and Chong movie Nice Dreams where Paul Reubens (better known as Pee-wee Herman) says "You're the guy from the Hamburger Train, right?" which then immediately shifts into Les' groovy bass line.
The live version of the song varies from show to show.
