The "Date Nut" business along with "Harry Harrison" were rhythmic phrases my sister Laura fused together and repeated at at a very fast rate. Upon hearing her speak these phrases I immediately added the "Need Your Love" bit.
This phrase was taken from a Memorex™ cassette commercial we'd both see on the TV quite frequently while watching the late night Canadian comedy show "SCTV". The "Mazzola" bit is yet another phrase I stole from a commercial about cooking oil. The middle part was later refined at Sonic Underground Studios in Stony Brook having been botched up on the original Akai, reel to reel tape recording.
