Trivia/Info
- From Flansburgh Writes About "They Got Lost", "This is a highly rocking track which really spotlights an extraordinary rhythm section. This is the very first recording we did with Dan Hickey and probably the last we did with bass legend Graham Maby (the mega-bass power behind nu-waver Joe Jackson) before he got scooped away by Natalie Merchant. It was also one of the first sessions we did at Coyote Studio, and there was a very fun and easy vibe around this session."
- In a 2002 TMBG Newsletter, Flansburgh wrote similar of the song, "HEAR bass god Graham Maby burn up the frets while Dan Hickey pounds the skins on his very first TMBG recording session on the incendiary rock blast 'Rest Awhile.'"
- Ruy López was a Spanish priest who indeed wrote a definitive work on chess in 1561 ("Libro de la invencion liberal y arte del juego del axedrez", or "Book of the liberal invention and art of the game of chess"). However, he did not write multiple works.
- Danny Weinkauf said in an interview with TMBW that this song is among his favorite TMBG bass lines, along with S-E-X-X-Y.
- Since it's studio release on They Got Lost, this song has not been played live, although it was played 28 times before.
