The bulk of the track is a sample of an 1979 public information advert on the topic of energy conservation by the North American youth organisation, 4-H.<br /> <br /> == Samples/Lyrics ==<br /> <br /> * ''&quot;Energy is becoming one of our country's greatest concerns, if we don't start working on energy conservation there may not be enough energy to go around by the time I'm a parent. We're going to learn about how we can solve some of our problems through alternative energy sources. You can learn more about energy too - call your county cooperative extension service for more information. Conserving energy is everyone's responsibility. Call 4-H to find out how you can do your part.&quot;''<br /> <br /> The garbled burbling noise heard on the track sounds similar to the &quot;Havana Gurgler&quot;, a shortwave radio jamming station used by the Cuban government to render the unwelcomely democratic Radio Marti unlistenable.
