We even shortened some of the other songs to make room for it. But when someone suggested SS go on the B side of the first single, everybody was happy.

You say you shortened some of the songs to make room for it. Did these songs stay shortened even after the band made a decision not to include it? I'm thinking of the longer and shorter versions of YMLF.
