Totes Madness started from the drums. I sat down one day to play and the drum part for the song came out; except at half speed. When I went to transfer it into my computer, it came out twice as fast and a melody appeared in the drum part. The coincidence excited me and led to a quick, feverish writing session where I developed the guitar and bass parts. The song was finished in about 20 minutes. Of course then I had to figure out how to play it!
