Notes:

The song is inspired by a 1978 Anthony Hopkins film called Magic about a struggling
ventriloquist named Corky who gets a break when he gets a puppet called Fats....but soon
the puppet develops a mind of it's own and tries to take over. Movie tagline: "Abracadabra,
I sit on his knee. Presto, change-o, and now he's me! Hocus Pocus, we take her to bed.
Magic is fun...we're dead."
Included in the video game Guitar Hero: Metallica and can be exported to GH: Warriors Of Rock.
