This is one of Dave's earliest songs and has been played by the full band each and every year since the very beginning.
Originally, the song would traditionally feature an instrumental intro before the main riff that was rarely left out.
Throughout its evolution, Leroi's horn arrangement was modified during the song's recording on "Remember Two Things" and was played as such until the original horn routine was restored when the song was re-worked for the 2004 Summer Tour. This re-working also involved the band dropping the classic "Instrumental intro" to the song. Instead, Dave would lead the song off with the other band members joining in behind him.
A studio recording of Dave playing this song plays during the credits of the 2003 film Go Further. This version was recorded during the Some Devil sessions.
The song also features a live outro dubbed "Swim Naked". During the early years, Dave would scat and elaborate the lyrics, but eventually they settled into the following form:
Don't you love you swim naked
Don't you love you swim naked
Don't you love you swim naked
Cause I do. - dmbalmanac

Evolved from "What will become of me" and is frequenly played before "Rapunzel" as it was on "Before the Crowded Streets". The Phrase "Pantala Naga Pampa" derives from an South Indian language Tamil meaning, "There's a python in my pants." This phrase was often shouted by an Indian chef that worked for the band during the Crash sessions, and Dave would yell it back at him. It is unknown whether Dave knew the meaning of the phrase when he named the song "Pantala Naga Pampa."

This song was written during the 2000 Lillywhite sessions and was originally played as a prelude to 'Grace is Gone" on 6.23.01 (hence the label). The same riff resurfaced again on 7.10.04 in a less elaborate framework but was still labeled "Prelude to Grace" as homage to the original version.
