[edit] Differences

  • The end of "Theme From Flood" is changed. The original lyrics were "It's a brand new record/From 1990/They Might Be Giant's brand new album flood". However, Carrabba changed the lyrics to "It's a brand new record/of songs we've covered/We hope you like it, here is volume one".
