CommentsRecorded and mixed at: Sound City, Van Nuys, CA (MCA Records) Other Side: (1981) US/Japan-A Woman In Love (It's Not Me) (1994) UK-Mary Jane's Last Dance Speaking of not Jimmy's forte. On the tape, after the Heartbreakers finish this psychobilly rave-up, Iovine can be heard on the talkback saying, "I don't understand this number." In spite of the fact that he is the owner of Gone Gator music and grew up within hiking distance of the mighty U of F Gators, Petty says that the Heartbreakers grew mighty sick of the big reptiles. "If you go through Gainesville there's gators everywhere," Tom groans. "Gator this and Gator that. Gators come out of the sewers and walk the streets. A gator got on the lawn of my friend Marty Jourard's house and ate his dog. I found this hysterical. Marty didn't." "Gator on the Lawn" was the B-side of "A Woman in Love."
