[edit] Trivia/Info

  • JF: This next song takes place in a parking lot. Why don't you tell them about the song, John?
    JL: [in a professorial voice] Well, John, we use a contemporary vocal effect on this song, that we call the recalyzer.
    JF: Tell us about the recalyzer.
    JL: Well, it's really the secalyzer. [in his normal voice] There is no name for it, actually. It's actually called "pitch correction." We use it on the one song in this show. Not because we're singing out of tune, because we like those parts.
  • The video for this song was created by Aaron Sorenson and Courtney Booker at Laika/House and earned both an Annie Award nomination for Best Animated Television Commercial, the Judges' Award at The Northwest Film & Video Festival in Portland, Oregon (October 2005), and a competition spot at the Annecy International Film Festival.
