Baluchitherium

It has been speculated that Eddie borrowed the intro to Trevor Rabin's "Eyes of Love" for this song from the Balance album.

Valerie Bertinelli picked the name for this instrumental. She named it after the largest prehistoric mammal. The baluchitherium was roughly four times the size of an elephant and looked like a cross between a brontosaurus and an elephant (without a trunk).

Originally, this song was supposed to have vocals. Sammy ended up humming the vocals for the chorus, which Eddie then adapted for the guitar.

Eddie's pet Dalmatian, Sherman, was used at the end of this song. A hot dog was taped to the microphone to attract the dog, and an audio tape of a fire engine was played to induce barking.

Eddie used an Albert Lee Music Man guitar with heavy strings tuned down to low A for the song.
