Trivia/Info
- According to John Linnell, this song was inspired by a promotional video he shot on his phone of him signing Glean CD booklets, which later became the song's music video. Linnell would delve into the song's backstory in a 2025 interview with the A.V. Club:
When we put together the Glean album, I made a promotional video which was of me signing CD booklets. It actually took a week to sign all the booklets that I had in front of me. And actually, you only see one box being slowly unloaded, signed, and reloaded. But there were four in total, so it was a massive number of booklets. I thought as long as I was spending all this time signing, I'd do a timelapse. I didn't know what it was for, at first, and then I made up a song to go with the signing of the booklets, which was kind of a funny promotional song being brutally honest about the whole process of signing stuff. And so that's me in my own dining room, signing booklets. I think Flans had already signed all of his, so you're just seeing me adding my signature.
