Neil sings the "Introduction" to the album Twentieth-Century Blues, the 1998 Noël Coward tribute and AIDS charity album for which he served as co-executive producer and to which the Boys contributed "Sail Away." Lasting just over a minute, "Introduction" reappears toward the end of the album as the opening (and, in a modified form, the conclusion) of the song "Twentieth-Century Blues" proper, performed by Elton John. The lyrics to the "Introduction" are, in their entirety, "Blues—Twentieth-Century Blues—getting me down."
