“Summer Breeze” was originally a top 10 hit for Seals & Crofts in the early 1970s. Type O frontman Pete Steele was a fan of the song and brought it to the band, suggesting they record their own version of it. As the band jammed, Steele started altering the lyrics, making them salacious:
See her...
See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light-a-shinin' through the window

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze, yeah, makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
