Trivia/Info
- The original live version of "Another First Kiss", which is harder and includes another verse about a time machine.
- John Flansburgh on the song's subject matter from a 1997 interview:
I just wrote this song called "First Kiss", that's like, a pretty unambiguous, unqualified love song. That's a real accomplishment for us. We've recorded like a hundred and thirty songs or something, and none of them are love songs, not a one. There are a lot of songs that are about relationships, but they're about sort of these fractured, damaged relationships. I feel it's important to just do one that's just an "I love you" song. And that's hard to do, because it's very familiar terrain. There's lots of mediocre work in that area − most songs are not very good, and a large proportion of the songs that aren't very good are love songs. I don't know why I'm drawn to it, but it just seems like it's an important thing.
