Trivia/Info

  • In the tmbg.com FAQ archive, John Linnell explained when asked about this track: "The recording you heard was an excerpt from a promotional tape we made in 1985 which was a fake interview interspersed with real songs by TMBG. The voice of the interviewer was our friend Jennifer Neff."
  • A much longer recording than the one heard on Then: The Earlier Years was played on The Frank O'Toole Show in 1987.
  • From a (less than serious) 1985 interview with This Magazine:[1]

[Interviewer]: Your stage show is so unique... so elaborate, why?
Flansburgh: We owe all of that to a woman named Doris Cunningham. She makes all our instruments and recording equipment. The drum machine she built for us is eighty feet tall.
