Trivia/Info
- While introducing the song at a 1992 show, John Flansburgh mentioned that he had written it "in an altered state."
- Flansburgh mentioned this song in a 1992 interview with The Plain Dealer: "We definitely set up our records to maximize [contrast]. This record is actually one of the first ones that has two songs that sort of segue into one another, complement one another rhythmically. 'If I Wasn't Shy' and 'Turn Around' both have moderate tempo swing aspects to them. That's sort of unusual for us because we tend to put the quietest songs next to the fastest."
