Trivia/Info
- Performed live as early as 1983, the only known recording of this song is a live performance from an unidentified mid-1980's show, released via TMBG Unlimited in 2001. The song was also present on the "TMB Songs" list from 1985.
- The backing track for the song features a Mattel Synsonics drum machine, which was confirmed by John Flansburgh on Tumblr in 2025[1]: "Amidst the small parade of super-cheap, very odd drum machines and keyboards in my possession in the early-80's, I had a Mattel Synsonics. While it wasn’t good for too much, it seems inevitable that it generated that sound."
- A drum track similar to this song can be heard briefly fading out at the end of "Outboard Part Of Man".
