Little song history here: Gimme is written in Houser's
wife's voice (her point of view). Barbette's nickname is
Tuesday, hence the allusions to the day. At first, the
lyrics were "Gimme your hand there Johnny", but JB wasn't
going to say his own name there, so they switched it to
Michael. And yes it is called Gimme, straight from
Houser's maximary orifice.
