Although Tina Weymouth was responsible for writing the bassline, and had intended to play it herself on the record, she was forced to pass this onto another musician. She later recounted, in a 1997 interview with ''Bassplayer.com'': <blockquote>"We were given extremely limited studio time – just three days – and when it was time to do that track my whole right arm seized up in a terrible cramp, and I couldn't play. I had never played in the studio around the clock like we were doing, so I didn't even know that could happen. I ended up waking the assistant engineer – he was asleep under the console – and I showed him the part, and he played it. Chris ''(Frantz)'' was mad, but I really couldn't play; my hand wouldn't even close. So we did what we had to do. These things happen." | Although Tina Weymouth was responsible for writing the bassline, and had intended to play it herself on the record, she was forced to pass this onto another musician.
