Trivia/Info
- A song that uses actual campaign song lyrics from the Tippecanoe and Tyler Too campaign for William Henry Harrison and John Tyler in the U.S. Presidential election of 1840.
- "It was the campaign song that invented the campaign song," Flansburgh explains. "I was interested in it because it's a great song, but historically, [through] the little bit of research I've done, I got the impression that it was the 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' of campaign songs."
- "Little Van" refers to Martin Van Buren, Harrison's opponent and sitting president who lost his bid for re-election.
