Five per Cent for Nothing - 2008 Remaster Versioin

The liner notes for the Fragile album describe this song as "a 16-bar tune by Bill Bruford, played twice by the group, and taken directly from the percussion line." Bruford is the drummer in the group, and this 35-second piece was his individual contribution to the album. Each of the five members had free rein over one track; the other four were more complex, with lead singer Jon Anderson layering vocals for "We Have Heaven," Chris Squire using only his bass guitar on "The Fish," Steve Howe doing a Flamenco guitar instrumental on "Mood For A Day," and Rick Wakeman reworking a classical piece for "Cans And Brahms." Bruford had never composed a song before, so he was finding his way.

The title was originally "Suddenly It's Wednesday," but changed to become a dig on their management, who got 5% for essentially doing nothing.
