Trivia/Info

  • Originally a contender for Join Us alongside "Repo Day", both songs were mentioned by Flansburgh to be "slightly too close to other tracks and other vibes" on the album.
  • This song was the inspiration for the Cave Fish? EP by the Facebook group They Might Be Shitposting, based on a running gag in the group about the song's exclusivity. Each contribution to the release is a unique imagining of how the song may actually sound, as none of the artists involved had heard the song beforehand and only had the lyrics for reference.
