<P> By the time of the band's third album, however, Steele had been unable to provide enough material and the record company began pressuring the band to record "Save It for Later ." Wakeling recalled, "It was only really when the record company insisted (on releasing the track), and I got a bit of courage and said,' Well, look, if it's not on our record I'd just rather go and record it myself and bring it out ."' Steele continued to refuse to play on the backing track, leading Wakeling and drummer Everett Morton to record a basic track until the rest of the band relented . </P> <P> "Save It for Later" features a unique DADAAD tuning that Wakeling stumbled upon; he explained, "I had tried to tune my guitar to DADGAD to play along with Jon (sic) Martyn tunes in late 70's before The English Beat started . I accidentally came up with DADAAD, so I made up my own chord shapes and enjoyed the hypnotic drone of the tuning on my national steel for hour after hour ." Due to the song's atypical tuning, Who guitarist Pete Townshend called Wakeling to ask how to play the song: </P> <P> "I got a phone call at 11 in the morning, and somebody gave me the phone and said, "It's Pete Townshend for you ." And I said, "Of course it is, he phones about this time every Saturday doesn't he?" (Laughs .) I thought it was somebody making a joke . I picked up very sarcastically,' Oh, hello Pete .' And he said,' Oh, hello Dave, this is Peter Townshend here and I'm sitting with David Gilmour, and we're trying to work out your song' Save It For Later,' but we can't work out the tuning .' They presumed it was DADGAD as well, and couldn't make it work, and so I had to explain that I'd made a mistake and it was not DADGAD, it was DADAAD . And he laughed and said,' Oh, thank heavens for that! We've been breaking our fingers trying to get our hands around these chords ."' </P> <P> Wakeling described the lyrical theme of "Save It for Later" as "about turning from a teenager to someone in their 20s ." The title of the song also served as a double - entendre--Wakeling explained, "It started off as a dirty schoolboy joke . The phrase' save it for later' is meant to be' save it,' comma,' fellator ."' </P>
