"This song is about scale, and sexuality, and, uh...relationships." - John Flansburgh, Feb. 10, 1992
During the band's later live performances of this song, Flansburgh and Dan Hickey would usually stop in the middle to perform the now-famous "Dial-a-Drum-Solo" skit. You can hear a version of it on Dial-A-Song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants.
