I remember when this song came out as a kid (just dated myself.) Admittedly, I secretly liked a few Milli Vanilli tunes - they were really quite infectious - just couldn't get them out of your head when you heard them.

"Girl You Know It's True" was the jam back in the day. The hook is super catchy and brings back a lot of memories for me. I feel for Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus otherwise known as "Milli Vanilli" regarding that whole lip- synching thing. Losing their Grammy and being basically dragged through the mud for doing something that basically every pop star does today. I am sure that all the derision had a huge impact on those two guys. I mean these two dudes were very talented and good looking. They had it going on and then suddenly they lost everything.

I honestly didn't care at the time whether any of their songs were actually sung by them. It's pop music and they had many huge hits. All their tunes really jammed and as I enjoyed them as a youngster.

My approach for this cover was take possession of this tune completely. I wanted to take it apart and reformulate it in a way that sounds distinctly like "J Hacha." I am never interested in replicating what the original artist has done because the fact of the matter simply is that I could never do it as well. The aim here to make it my own. Fashion the song in my own creepy and twisted image which is something I really enjoy doing. The song is fairly unrecognizable until that hook comes along. It is at that point hopefully the listener realizes that this is indeed a cover. "Wow this a Milli Vanilli tune?"

I have to say this was a challenging tune to do. The delivery of the verses of the original were "rapped" and very fast. I am no rapper and I'm not much of a singer, I'm more of a crooner, so I had to find a way to make this work. During the session, I asked my drummer Hank, to play at the original tempo, and then we slowed them down digitally which yielded this "drums under water" kind of sound. We then used that as the basis upon which to lay everything else on top.

I had to trim a bit away from the verses - there were just so many words that had to somehow fit - but rather than mashing them all in unceremoniously, I'd decided to distill down the best parts of the verses and have at it.

I wanted to my own "creepy-booze-gazey" almost "David Lynch-ian" version of this tune. "Creepy" is kinda my thing. I wear and own my "creepiness" thoroughly as a badge.

I need to take possession of this song - completely own it for a little bit - make it my own thoroughly and deliver it in a way that sounds distinctly like me.

Again, I have recruited Ralph Carney's glorious horns for this cover. He contributed tenor and baritone sax for this track.

He was really amused that in this song choice - he was all about it and you can hear him squeal through his sax with delight throughout the track. I love that guy.

The track has this Pink Floyd/Prince deliciousness to it I think. The guitar solo sounds distinctly like David Gilmour - and some other guitar noodling and fills sound a lot like the "Purple One" - compliments of big-time, Hoboken guitar slinger, Ty Tuschen.

It was totally unintended and just came out that way - I really didn't know how this was going to work out and I am quite pleased and proud of this cover.
