Trivia/Info

  • Lyrics and instrumentation are identical to the released version of "Weep Day", but the main vocal is a different take, and Flansburgh's backup vocals have an echo effect.
  • The opening drums were removed in the Podcast 32A release, though they are present in Dial-A-Song recordings. This demo was also one of the first recordings to be put into rotation on Dial-A-Song[1].
