Cover of captain beefhearts her eyes are blue a million miles. Almost the whole song is smothered in wah. But true he doesn't go there that often.

I heard Dan used a wah in a bar fight once. He was doing a gig down in Juarez, and he was playing Stack Shot Billy when suddenly all hell broke loose. There were tamales and Tecates flying through the air. Some hombre had Pat in a headlock, and Dan smashed the guy over the head with his wah (the closest heavy thing he could grab)and BLAMMO! - lights out.

That's why TBK can never play Mexico again, because the guy who got "wah'd" over the head died, and the cartels swore vengeance.

At least that's how I heard it.
