Trivia/Info
- Flansburgh wrote the lyrics, and then Linnell added the music and sang the song.
- From the tmbg.com FAQ circa 1997 - "What is the backwards message on 'Subliminal'? It is not a message, just the vocal and drum track reversed."
- The drums on this song are double-tracked, an approach suggested by Brian Doherty after hearing "Message of Love" by The Pretenders on the radio while driving to a recording session. He pitched the idea to Flansburgh first, who told him "This is a great idea. Just don't tell Linnell that this was inspired by a Pretenders song."[1]
