[edit] Trivia

• The following is an extract from the cover notes for the compilation album, She Will Have Her Way, explaining the band's reasons for covering "Six Months In A Leaky Boat".

'The Finn Brothers have been part of our musical life from a very early age. All our families have Split Enz and Crowded House records in their collections, and hence the music that we make has been influenced by these two amazing songwriters. We also had the chance to see these guys in concert last year, which was an inspiring experience. Simon probably got into Split Enz first out of all of us, his parents bought him a Split Enz poster for his 8th birthday. He didn't know exactly what the poster was, he thought it was just a picture of some weird looking clowns, and didn't realise that it was actually Split Enz. When he found out he listened to one of his parents albums and liked the music, he has now also developed an issue with clowns. That is why the weird circus like middle of "Six Months In A Leaky Boat" was excluded in our version. Simon kept freakin' out. Choosing a song to cover for this album was tough, not only because of Simon's issues, but given that there are so many songs we wanted to put a Little Birdy spin on. We ended up agreeing on "Six Months In A Leaky Boat" because it was one of the more quirky tracks, and lent itself to playing around with some different sounds in the studio. It is a great honour and privilege to have our version of the track included on this wonderful compilation. Thank you Neil and Tim'
