Background
According to Al in the Al In The Box boolet: "I remember when I was writing this song I'd go around to Wilson's House of Suede and Leather and Zachary All and places like that. I'd walk around with my notebook and look at various garments and scribble down notes. I got a lot of nasty stares from store managers."[1]
