Trivia/Info

  • The music video for this song was directed by I Think We're Still Thinking. They also created two alternate videos for the song prior to the final one.
  • Regarding the audio cut-out effect, Flansburgh said: "Like the guitar on Ana Ng, the track is gated. Getting the gate to open and close musically without snipping the audio waveforms in such a way that that causes a click was a bigger technical challenge than one might expect in this 21st century digital music world. Pat and John really drilled down on that part."[1]
