Trivia/Info
- Video directed by Paul Sahre. Animation by Zak Tebbal, who would later also animate the video for "College Town".
- John Linnell has cited the Australian post-punk band The Birthday Party as an inspiration for this song, "even though it sounds absolutely nothing like The Birthday Party."
- In an interview with This Might Be A Zine, director Alex Italics stated that "Many, many years ago Flans asked me to develop a potential video concept for the song "Trouble Awful Devil Evil." I was pretty happy with what I came up with, but I think they just ran out of time before it could really come together so they ended up going with a more typographical concept."
