Trivia

Early Tracklist

On December 24, 2004, Neil announced the album on LiveJournal, and gave this as the tracklist:[11]

  1. Dead Sea Monkeys
  2. Fuzzy
  3. Pumpkin Pie
  4. When Robots Attack
  5. Geeks In Love
  6. New Way Out
  7. What Will Happen Will Happen
  8. Kitten Is Angry
  9. Subtle Oddities
  10. Gonne Dig Up Alec Guinness
  11. Flamingo Legs
  12. Ode to Crayola
  13. Rainwater
  14. Smell Like A Cookie All Day
  15. Dizziful Bliss
  16. Word Disassociation
  17. March of the Living Figments

Sky is Not Blue, The Ceiling, and Eventuality are notably absent, with the former having its lyrics recorded "like, two days" before the commentary.[12] Additionally, Fuzzy and March of the Living Figments were relegated to bonus tracks. Had this not been the case, Damn Skippy would have been the last Lemon Demon album to include a cover in its main tracklist.
