Trivia/Info
- This song was one of the few recorded by Hello The Band, which consisted of John Flansburgh and Joshua Fried.
- This song's backing beat is a sped-up sample of the beat from the 1989 N.W.A single, "Straight Outta Compton", which samples the Amen break.
- From MonoPuff.org: "We are treated to a hero worship to Tom Vu (who to the best remembrances of Brooklyn residents was a sort of an Asian Tony Robbins) in an 80's style bop known as 'Town To Town'."
- The bridge lyrics (Hey Mr. Vu, fly away home / Your house is so lovely, your children so nice) reference the children's rhyme "Ladybird Ladybird" (Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home / Your house is on fire and your children are gone). The same rhyme was similarly referenced in the 1985 Tom Waits song "Jockey Full Of Bourbon".
