Trivia/Info
- This song appeared as "When The Light Comes On" on the I Like Fun album packaging as well as many places online. The band acknowledged this was an error days before the official release.[1] The title was manually corrected with permanent marker on at least some of the copies of the album sold at concerts.
- Along with "Let's Get This Over With", this was one of two songs from I Like Fun that did not get a music video as part of the 2018 iteration of Dial-A-Song. Flansburgh noted that "for very different reasons, the videos planned fell apart after months and months of trying to keep the projects together."[2]
