Trivia/Info
- This song was released in August 2018 as an unlisted YouTube video, featuring an in-studio performance with John Flansburgh singing, John Linnell on keyboard and Marty Beller on drums.
- The aerial tramway emoji (🚡) briefly exploded in popularity in summer 2018, following articles from publications like Vice, BuzzFeed and Slate about it being the least used emoji on Twitter at that time.
- By the end of July 2018, the BBC reported that following the burst in attention to the aerial tramway emoji, the new least used emoji had become "input symbol for Latin capital letters" (🔠). This meant that by the time TMBG released this song in early August with the description, "It’s about the least popular emoji of all," that statement was no longer accurate.
