Trivia/Info
- Learn about Edith Head and Helen Gurley Brown.
- In 2020, Flansburgh confirmed that the ending was done totally "spontaneously by the command of Dan Miller. There already was the 'false ending freak out' and he just demanded another. Those were cramped conditions to work in, but it was fun doing so much of the tracking together."[1]
- Listening closely to the left channel at 2:15, one can hear Flansburgh say "I ate a bug". This phrase also appears in the Mink Car version much more audibly, but during the studio chatter after the song.
- In They Might Be Giants Vs. McSweeney's, this song accompanies "Untitled" by Amy Sillman.
