Trivia/Info
- The recording of this song that appeared on the I Palindrome I EP and all subsequent releases features Kurt Hoffman on saxophone before he began touring with They Might Be Giants. In a 2021 interview with the Don't Let's Start fan podcast, Hoffman would explain the circumstances surrounding his appearance on the song[1]:
That was the first thing I ever did with them. I think at that point we were just friends in Williamsburg and they were fans of the Ordinaires. They opened for us once and then they were on a bill with us at CBGBs, so they knew me as a sax player and a friend − and they had this instrumental and they said "come and play this!"
- This song was initially recorded in 1989 and played as an intro at shows during the first section of the band's Flood tour from late-1989 to mid-1990. The 1989 recording was completely instrumental and had a slightly different arrangement.
- Heard during the city sequence of the Brave New World presentation of TMBG's "Older".
