Trivia / Info:
- From TMBG Unlimited: "This song was recorded with the Elegant Too, who we are also working with on a couple of tracks with Mike Doughty from Soul Coughing slated for our next rock album. This recording will be part of the McSweeney's literary magazine "Art and Music" issue to which we'll be contributing a number of new tracks especially recorded to correspond to artwork or writings of other contributers."
- The lyrics of this song are entirely from the poem Memories of West Street and Lepke by Robert Lowell (although they have been "recontextualized" by TMBG for rock music purposes).
- The TMBG Unlimited version had a slightly longer intro than the McSweeney's version.
