I think it's a real grower. I listened to it a few times right before reviewing it and my opinion radically changed from that when I listened earlier.

On my 1988 vinyl copy of Green, it's listed as simply "Untitled." Not sure about the CD version.

That's a great story though. I always thought there was something off about the drums in that song.
