Trivia/Info

  • From the tmbg.com FAQ archive, John Linnell explained: "The recording [...] was an excerpt from a promotional tape we made in 1985 which was a fake interview interspersed with real songs by TMBG. The voice of the interviewer was our friend Jennifer Neff."
  • A much longer recording was played on the Frank O'Toole Show, though it's likely that is still just a fragment of the full tape.
  • From a (less than serious) 1985 interview with This Magazine:[1]

[Interviewer]: Your stage show is so unique... so elaborate, why?
Flansburgh: We owe all of that to a woman named Doris Cunningham. She makes all our instruments and recording equipment. The drum machine she built for us is eighty feet tall.
