My friend Jasmine sent an email asking "are there any bootleg versions of 'Made Me So Happy'?". Turns out the answer is "Yes x 2".

Here's version #1, the home demo. Pretty straightforward, recorded really quickly just to get the idea down. This demo is good at demonstrating (hey, it's a demo) how I often have a lot of the ideas for harmony and panning already in place as soon as I write the song.

Oh, both these versions still have the original penultimate line of the first verse "But ever since we met my head's been filled with goo" - a placeholder line that caused me quite a bit of embarrassment when I played it for Aimee Mann (I can still hear her incredulous "My head's been filled with GOO?!?" - ouch!).

Oh, the avalanche of percussion instruments was a piss-take at a litigious producer/drummer who never tired of having tracks end by him throwing his sticks or a tambourine down on the ground.
