Trivia/Info

  • This is quite different from the later re-recording for Apollo 18. It is based on a very loud drum machine part, features a prominent acoustic guitar, a harmony vocal an octave lower and no synthesizers.
  • When the bridge is played backwards, John Linnell can be heard saying, "They Might Be Giants wanted to include a verse about the suffering people in the world, but we couldn't figure out where to put it into the song." Hear it for yourself.
