Trivia/Info
- The version on Back To Skull is ever so slightly different than the John Henry version. The ending cuts off rather abruptly on Back To Skull, instead of having a smooth fade as heard on the album.
- The song Complete Paranoia can be heard by playing the alternate audio track of this song on the Direct From Brooklyn DVD.
- The music video was directed by Nico Beyer and was shot in Berlin.
- According to Brian Doherty, "This song was a Linnell composition and there was a lot of hope in the Giants’ camp that it would match the success of Birdhouse In Your Soul." [7]
