Trivia/Info
- This song features John Linnell playing the guitar. The track is a home recording, and was created at either John Linnell or John Flansburgh's home studio. The liner notes of Then: The Earlier Years state: "'Mr. Klaw' showcases Linnell's formidable and rarely praised guitar prowess. It was our last 4-track recording to make it to commercial release."
- The lyrics draw heavily from the theme song to "Mister Ed," a 1960s television show about a talking horse:
A horse is a horse, of course, of course,And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed
