[edit] Notes

• The song was performed by the band when they appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on January 19, 2007. The song was played without the 40-second intro from the album version, but featured the instrumental outro, which is cut from the radio edit.
• The song was performed again by the band when they appeared on Late Show with David Letterman on February 26, 2007.
• The song was featured in an episode of the television show, Friday Night Lights.
• The artwork for the single, especially the typography, is most likely a direct influence from the artwork of The Jesus Lizard's album Goat.
