Ah, the "hidden track."  I'm sure you've come across one or two in your day.  Either a CD will have a surprise unlisted track at the very end, or the last listed track will be played back normally, pause for a while, and then start up again with something different, like a studio outtake, a demo, random laughter or screaming, or what have you.

Will this concept never die?*

Anyway, the Milkmen included such a beast on their 1990 opus entitled Metaphysical Graffiti.  Fourteen tracks are listed, but there is also a super-secret Track 15 that reprises a noodling chromatic bass line that was used several times throughout the album.  Only this time, it goes on for over six minutes while Rodney waxes not-so-poetic about a family on a maggot farm.

Yeah, it's as weird as it sounds.

*Actually, I don't really own enough recently recorded CDs to know if anyone does this anymore.  This concept may have gone the way of the dodo already.
