Trivia/Info

  • The second verse of the song is in Spanish. Linnell says in response to a question in an online interview;
    "I made it up in my incredibly crippled high school Spanish that um… In no defense—I made up some of the words. They’re not actually Spanish words […] The version you heard of Hovering Sombrero is a little bit of a provisional lyric and is not completely finished. But I just thought it would be nice to put that one together. What I was sort of trying to get across is in the second verse which is in Spanish is that I wish I was a better singer, I wish I was a better songer."
