The video for this song contains a soda can with the word "Flansy" written on it, the very same one that was originally pictured in the Mink Car liner notes.
The line "K drinks only soda" breaks the rhyme scheme apparent in the rest of the song, seemingly because the band either chose not to use the 'Coke' brand name, which would have rhymed with "all 'I' tastes is smoke", or decided to fake out the listener a bit.
On TMBG Clock Radio, this song is slowed down significantly due to a glitch, as are a few of the Here Come The ABCs songs. Flansburgh's voice, therefore, sounds "slow motion"-ish.
The GAP parody ad for t, s, r, and q in the video reads:
TMBG

The Chopping Block, Inc. animated the video.
In live shows John Flansburgh has sung "E eats everything, like children"
On an interview for the DirecTV concert that was aired in May 2005, Flans tells of a story of a letter they received from an outraged mother who was upset over the lyric "L, M, N, and P won't start until O arrives" due to it being intentionally non-sequential. She asked the band to change the lyrics to be correct, which of course the band ignored.
