Groovy Tuesday is co-written by DiNizio, Steve Forbert, and Mark Johnson. Forbert: "Pat DiNizio and I and Mark Johnson, we were drinking and hanging out and wanted to write something just really off the wall, kind of goofy.

Inspired by a listen to The Who Sell Out, the three songwriters picked up guitars and wrote the song. At one point "Groovy Tuesday" was set to be the title of the album.
