NOTES & TRIVIA

The first style parody to be a lead-off single, and only the second original to be one as well.

The first lead-off single to not only be offered as a download but also to premiere on Al's MySpace page.

Although Weirdal.com offered the shelved James Blunt parody "You're Pitiful" as a free download in June 2006, this is the first time a new "released" Al song has been distributed digitally.

The third Al single to have its own official web site, this one at www.dontdownloadthissong.com.

An animated video by modern master Bill Plympton premiered on Yahoo! Music on August 22 at 10PM PST. It would later show up on Al's MySpace page, the aforementioned web site, YouTube, and be included on the DVD side of Straight Outta Lynwood. On December 4, 2020 the video was nominated for an Annie Award in the Best Animated Short Subject category.
