Songwriter Mark Lightcap says: "Hey Dude Shut the Window" is based on a somewhat humorous, very true story. Xavier McLachlan came to me one day and told me about a somewhat embarrassing thing that happened to him the night before. He said he had his windows open in his room because it was so hot. An angry voice from out of the dark yelled, "Hey dude, shut the window; I'm trying to sleep; I've got to work tomorrow!" Xavier who was only 11 at the time felt really bad about disturbing his neighbor. I asked Xavier what he was doing. He said he was practicing his guitar. I then asked him, "And what time do you think it was?" He sheepishly said, "Probably around two in the morning." I couldn't help but laugh and said, "No wonder your neighbor was a little upset!" I then said, "Xavier, this is going to make a GREAT SONG!" And thus was "Hey Dude Shut the Window" born.
