- originally written by Delisle Tron 3000 of the fake dance band IDRM (also of The Approachables) and A.Bos (also of the Approachables), this song, if any here, could be called a cover tune...
- this song was brought by its two members into the Approachables fold, who never actually played this song live, but pretty much had it ready to play live when they went on a long hiatus from 2002 until 2012...so really this song never got played live
- in 2011 Young Coconut, who had a couple years previous tried to spearhead the as-yet incomplete second Approachables LP, and through this process learned the song so he could do a drum track for it, remembered fondly this song and learned it so he'd have a nice song to play whilst busking
- in 2012, when the 'Rents formed, this song was brought to the table as YC knew it and was in the habit of playing it, and so the song has since turned into a 'Rents chestnut and as of late is a featured song in the live set
- the current incarnation of this song really doesn't sound a whole lot like the Approachables version, which is much slower and focuses on a certain type of sonic atmosphere...new rad bass and a much quicker tempo were added by J.K. and Pickle, not to mention the new vocals by Beanie and Young being melodically quite different... maybe one day the Approachables version will surface and the fans will note the differences for themselves...
