Trivia/Info
- From the Summer 1999 Info Club newsletter: "Sung by Flansburgh with Linnell at the mighty Hammond B3 electric organ, this meditation on the torments of office work carries on in the grumbling tradition of Minimum Wage."
- The Möbius strip is a surface with only one side and only one boundary, with the mathematical property of being "unorientable". Flansburgh refers to it again in the songs "Homunculus" and "Omnicorn".
