Trivia/Info
- From theymightbegiants.com, "This is the original Dial-A-Song version, and is a longtime favorite among the hard-core. It has that fragile demo quality that is so hard to ever capture again."
- On a Dial-A-Song recording, the Flansburgh message at the end of the song has been recorded over with a rhythm section instrumental used for 1989 performances of Number Three.[1]
- Mentioned in Gigantic as being a favorite song of Sarah Vowell.
- Mentioned in a The Plain Dealer article, on April 27th, 1990:
Dial 1-718-387-6962, and you'll get an idea of what to expect at an upcoming concert at Oberlin College.
You'll hear a few music notes on an answering machine. Then a low baritone voice comes on singing. "There's an ant crawling up your back in the nighttime."
