Trivia/Info
- Flansburgh originally wrote this while in an earlier band called The Turtlenecks.
- "We're gonna do a song that was written by my father, Mr. Earl Flansburgh, and it's called 'Alienation's for the Rich'." - John Flansburgh, June 23, 1987
- Flansburgh frequently replaced the lyric "And the TV is in Esperanto" with "And the TV's talking Spanish" during earlier live performances.
- Esperanto is the most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language. The name derives from Doktoro Esperanto, the pseudonym under which L. L. Zamenhof first published the Unua Libro in 1887. The word itself means 'one who hopes'. Zamenhof's goal was to create an easy and flexible language as a universal second language to foster peace and international understanding. [1]
