Ana Ng (Live STD)	3:00	Severe Tire Damage, TMBG Clock Radio	1998	Although this song is identical to the version on Live!! New York City 10/14/94, it was treated to an overdub for Severe Tire Damage. In the bridge on Live!!, Linnell sings no words and imitates the sound of radio static. However, this version replaces that with an overdub of Flansburgh yelling the "I don't want the world..." line through his guitar pickup. Why this was edited is not known.
