Another one that began life as a theme song for one of Jay’s reality series -- this one did air, as "Little Chocolatiers," and was about a couple of little people who ran a bakery.
The lyric has nothing to do with superheroes, so Tim didn’t think it should go on the record, but Jay loves it and insisted it had to. So maybe this is the song our hero sings when he’s first in love with the woman he addresses in the next track.

LYRICS
I love I love I love my little sweet thing
So very much because
I love the little sweet things
My little sweet thing does
She’s precious and she’s private
She won’t see just anyone
But if you get to know her
She is endless fun
She is wrapped around my finger
But I belong to her
There is nothing like my sweet thing
Naked, in her fur
Nobody understands her
She don’t understand herself
It takes time to make her happy
But it’s my job to help

It's the essence of TMJ to follow up a smart song about the need to forge new memories with a killer that grooves on everything great and awful about the 1970s. Brash, confident, and deeply pleasurable -- and its vibe is punctured by the new old b-side's warning "living backwards in time/losing your mind." As always, TMJ has it all ways, beautifully. Alan S
