I already had a recorded piece of "Maniac", but it was an alternative, practically no one even heard it. When Dino started working on the same topic, I combined some text for him over the phone. He had to hand over the material the next day, and we finished that text in 20 minutes in dialogue. At that time, they talked on landlines, so it was more pleasant to hold the handset for 20 minutes than today with a mobile phone, when the radiation of the phone is quite deconcentrated. My "Maniac" was worthless, and Dino's was great!
