Trivia/Info
- The song was co-written by Phil Ochs and folk singer Bob Gibson. It opened Ochs’s debut LP All the News that's Fit to Sing, released by Elektra in 1964.
- John Linnell sings this song with a noticeable nasal inflection. It appears that he is trying to mimic Ochs' original vocal style.
- According to a 1990 article in The Central New Jersey Home News, the band were originally planned to record a Queen cover for the compilation album. Quoting Lenny Kaye, the executive producer of the album:
[...] Metallica desperately wanted to do a cover of a Queen song, but They Might Be Giants were scheduled to cover Queen. At the last minute, They Might Be Giants decided to cover a Phil Ochs song instead. That made it possible for the musicians in Metallica to do Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy."
