[2] "Chuck E.'s in Love" is track 1 on Side One of the Rickie Lee Jones LP, on which it runs 3 minutes and 28 seconds.

Jones and her lover and fellow songwriter Tom Waits spent a lot of time hanging out with their friend Chuck E. Weiss at the seedy Tropicana Motel in Los Angeles.

When Waits took the call, Weiss explained that he was in Denver, and that he had moved there because he had fallen in love with a cousin there.
