Trivia/Info
- This song has a country vibe due to the steel guitar work provided by Jay Sherman-Godfrey
- John Flansburgh described the instrumentation as follows:
On Unrelated Thing it’s a Martin tiple which is an extremely chimey Columbian instrument that is like a ukelele with a ton of unison strings. It was modified at Mandolin Bros. into what you could describe as an octave 12-string guitar. It’s also at the top of With The Dark.
- Flansburgh on the song's meaning in a 1995 interview: "[It] is about how hard it is for couples to communicate with one another."
