Trivia/Info
- The title is likely a reference to the song They Might Be Giants ("They might be frying up a stalk of wheat").
- An instrument known as the Flex-A-Tone is used in this song. According to JF: "The Spine is our tenth album and the RIAA regulations insist that you only use the flex-a-tone once every ten albums. It is a restricted instrument, not because it's not versatile, because it's not versatile, it's just that it's a really unsuccessful instrument."
- A video of the song appears as a bonus track on the Here Come The ABCs DVD.
