[edit] Trivia/Info

"What was the name of the first song you ever recorded?

We're not sure, but it might be a version of Yoko Ono's song "Don't Worry Kyoko, Mummy's Only Looking For A Hand In The Snow" that we recorded on Flansburgh's reel-to-reel when we were around 15. We sang with faux Rod Serling voices."
  • The song was written by Yoko Ono, and the original version appeared as the B-Side to John Lennon's "Cold Turkey" single in 1969, and later both sides of the single appeared (performed live) on Lennon's "Some Time in New York City" album.
  • The complete name of the song is "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand In The Snow)". Yoko Ono wrote it for her daughter Kyoko, who had been taken by her father, Anthony Cox (Yoko's previous husband) when they disappeared. A few years after this was written Yoko and John Lennon attempted to counter-kidnap Kyoko, but that failed.
