Trivia/Info
- Also known as "Variety Playhouse Freak-In" in the original concert setlist, this song is the venue song for the Variety Playhouse.
- The sudden vocal freakout may or may not be a reference to a similar style used during the early musical career of Yoko Ono (especially in "Don't Worry Kyoko," which TMBG covered in their early years).
- Over five years later (2010), Flansburgh created a video for the song using the iMovie program that comes with the Macbook. It includes images of x-rays, people in hospitals, theater seats and other chairs, audience members and others applauding, and brief shots of The Avatars Of They.
