Trivia/Info
- This is a radio advertisement created for Coca-Cola that aired around 1997. From the monopuff.org FAQ:
Flans did indeed create a radio commercial for Coca Cola which was meant to sound as if someone was riding the radio dial and stopping on a bunch of fake song bites that had to do with Coke. Flans sang all these songs, one of which is a version of "Poison Flowers" from The Steve Calhoon Years EP, with the lyrics "cherry cola" changed to "Coca Cola". The commercial was about 60 seconds and played for a brief time on American radio.
- John Flansburgh described the "song" when it was released to the 2024 iteration of the TMBG Instant Fan Club:
This spin-of-the-radio-dial covers a fair bit of ground genre-wise. Initially, there were some bone-crushing DMX-style drum machine moments in there but it was found too extreme for the client. We also had to sign a contract the size of a phone book including a clause that forbid us from saying anything disparaging about Coca-Cola. But who would? Robin “Goldie” Goldwasser joins the proceedings in the haunted “Alll-wayssss” ending.
- The "thirsty cyborg" line also appeared in the live "Born In A Graveyard" glockenspiel introduction.
