I see no mention of a song called "That's The Way" on any edition of the "Slap & Tickle" single (or any other Squeeze single for that matter) as listed on squeezefan.com or squeezenet.co.uk. Mrmctorso 06:51, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the following following reference to "slap and tickle" bass playing

Slap and tickle is a bass playing technique typicly incorporated in funk music. Larry Graham of Sly & the Family Stone is generally credited with inventing the percussive method of slapping the lower register bass strings with the thumb and plucking or "tickling" the higher strings with the fingers. It is said that when the bands drummer did not arrive for a rehearsal, Graham filled in the space by slapping the strings. Bootsy Collins is also an early master of the technique which is a used commonly today by practically every bass player who plays funk music. Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers is one of the most famous contemporary examples of slap masters.

as it is not relevant to this synth-heavy Squeeze song.--Neb-Maat-Re 03:21, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
