In an interview with Songfacts, Springfield explained that "Don't Talk to Strangers" was about his paranoia that his girlfriend was being unfaithful when he was away.[3] The song melody is actually from the earlier recording called "Spanish Eyes", found on Rick's "Sound City Recordings" from 1978.
"Kristina" is a remake of the Bachman–Turner Overdrive song "Jamaica", using different lyrics.[4] Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
