TOTALLY COOL from Perfection & Beyond by Arch Rockfeller

The song was originally conceived during the mid-1980s during a summer job at Ontario Place. I remember trying not to forget the melody, singing it to myself all day until I could get home and commit it to tape.

The middle part came from a jam between bassist Lorne Sokoloff, drummer Ron Larcombe and myself when we were warming up in preparation for the sessions that became the "Ear-Rational" LP.

Years later, when getting ready to record this song and fishing around for a middle section, a bit from that old jam came to mind. Bryant makes it cook with some nice slap bass!

The Michael Jackson-ish adlibs in the last chorus, which were omitted on the original mix, are restored in this revised version. The listener can decide whether they add to or detract from the proceedings.
