It's a wonderfully fun track especially per the cheerleading like backing vocals. Words fail, you'd just need to hear it. Me, I smile every time I listen to it).

So it's not just me, then? :)
I agree with everything you're saying here. I think what's most
gratifying is not only how well it holds together, but how well it holds
together given the range of things he's doing and the fact that it's all
cohering over two discs.
Quite an accomplishment....

/"...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the lights
shining sideways when the night is down, or going in strange places

the cities where you'd hear a voice kissing and talking deep love in
every shadow of the ditch, and you passing on with an empty, hungry
stomach failing from your heart." - John Millington Synge /
