[edit] Trivia/Info

  • Written because there was a lady that called a radio station complaining that "the mountains are in the way." The Orange Mountains are in New Jersey.
  • Flansburgh says, "This recording was cooked up quite spontaneously at the end of the marathon tracking session at Unique Studio in Times Square. Romanian-born actress Elina Lowensohn, star of "Nadja," a number of Hal Hartley films, and the upcoming "The Devil Went Down To Newport" video, did the voice-over. There are no samples or loops, just real records scratching along, and live radios being tuned."
