A song which would be exclusive to series 1 of Talking Light, aside from an abridged instrumental reworking found on Chuck's Ghost Music.

##"Hi! It's me - uh - Randy, singer for The Residents? This is uh - Chuck over here on keyboards, and Bob on guitar. 
I'm sure that most of our long-time fans remember that there was always four of us. Well, I'm sorry to say but Carlos has retired. He got tired of show business, and Carlos went back to Mexico, and now he's taking care of his mom. 
Ok so, we wanted to invite you into our living room here so we could tell you... a few stories and some of them get kinda spooky. The first one, now, is the Talking Light." (1:02)
