About Chantissity, Singapore Sling’s frontman Henrik Bjornsson declared in a 2003 interview: "It’s actually a recording I did by myself quite a long time ago, maybe two or three years ago, on an eight track. I recorded it in like two hours, on a hangover. And that’s almost exactly the same version as I recorded back then. I’ve no idea what it means. I’ve been trying to listen to the words, but I don’t know what it’s about. "Chant" means chant, "chantisissity" doesn’t mean anything".[1] The following track, Dirty Water is a cover of a 1966 hit single by Garage Rock band The Standells.
