== Trivia ==<br />
* The raging guitar solo on this track is played by [[Jonathan Coulton]]'s friend [[Darin Strauss]], award-winning author of the novel ''Chang and Eng'' and fellow member of [[Supergroup]].<br />
* This song was made at the suggestion of Jonathan's friend Adam Sachs, who said he should write a song about a guy who's devolving into an ape, and the resulting argument with his wife about it. The lines "Keeping the thumb but I'm getting dumb" and ending the song (inexplicably) with "[[wikipedia:Coal Miner's Daughter (song)|I'm a coal miner's daughter]]" were Adam's ideas.<ref>[[A Talk with JoCo, Part 2 (Undocumented Songs)]]</ref><br />
