[edit] Trivia/Info

  • This song is TMBG's tribute to fallen heroes Richard Nixon and Chucky.
  • This version is a little more sparse than the re-recording for Mink Car. It features more timid guitar work, only one bell at the beginning and is also lacking the "Pony, Twist, Monkey, and Frug" part of the coda (which would later be sung by Cerys Matthews). Also, the opening line of the first verse is "I'm sick...like Nixon was sick." This was changed for the Mink Car version, for reasons unknown.
