Trivia/Info
- A "stalking horse" is an inconsequential figure who acts on behalf of a larger third party so that the third party can remain anonymous. The term originates from hunters hiding behind their horses as they sneak up on prey.
- Linnell described the clarinet usage in the song as "really fun". He used his "Selmer rosewood contra alto with a gigantic bell" that he played "sitting down while it rests on its peg".[1]
- In March 2019, "Stuff is Way" was used in a YouTube animation meme, which generated enough popularity to move it to TMBG's top 5 songs on both Spotify and Apple Music. The meme spawned hundreds more videos set to the song, and a snippet of the song also became a popular sound on TikTok, with thousands of videos using it.
- As an eventual response to the song's viral success, They Might Be Giants had David Cowles design, direct and animate an official video for the song, which debuted on December 19, 2022.
