[edit] Description

It is rumored that the 8-track release for Purple Toupee did not actually contain any music by They Might Be Giants, but instead was a tape of Polka music. By the time that the cartridge was released in 1989, 8-tracks had been widely phased out for several years, so the release may have been a gag. Different versions of the cartridge have been known to pop up -- some of the releases are on a black 8-track cartridge, whereas others are on a white cartridge. It's possible that other versions exist as well.
