== Trivia ==
* The word "sotries" was originally intended to be "stories" but there was a typo when the lyrics were printed out.  The band decided to keep the typo and sing it as SOTRIES, which lasted until the 2021 [[Needlejuice Records]] reissue of [[Marvin%27s_Marvelous_Mechanical_Museum_(Album)|Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum]] when, in the CD and vinyl lyric sheets, the word was auto-corrected back to STORIES and no one noticed in time.

* There is a short rendition of the song done in an alternative punk style present on the Admittedly Incomplete Demos album, as well as appearing twice in live performances.
