"Steel Licks 78" is the seventy-eighth segment of the numerous "Steel Licks." It plays in many episodes, starting with season 2. Just like "Hawaiian Cocktail," it is also a common track that mostly plays as a theme of unfortunate moments, brief sad moments or other bad moments. Starting with "Mermaid Man Begins," this steel lick has been replaced by "Hot Steel and Slide Licks 40."
