This was apparently a novelty piece done for fun during the peak
of "Dance to the Music"'s popularity. Side 1 is basically an alternate
take of "Dance to the Music" (the drums and bass sound like they
were taken directly from the original song) with the addition of synthesizer.
The chorus is sung in French by "chipmunk" voices (the band's voices
sped up). Side 2 is a jazzy little tune with hilarious vocals from Sly
(also sped up to sound like a chipmunk) about Three Litle Pigs (named
Freddie, Larry and Sylvester) who are each recruited by Uncle Sam. This
single is quite rare!
