History
"The Stache" was arguably the most publicized of the six songs from the new album that Coulton debuted at his 7/22/2010 Northampton, MA show. In blog entries where he first announced the album the only song he mentioned that he had written was about a 'mustache'.
Live performance
This song was first debuted along with several other songs at Coulton's first ever performance with his then new band in Northampton, MA.
Trivia
- "Shop Vac" is classified as a funny/sad song on the Listening Suggestions page.
- The radio in the background near the end of the song appears to be saying the following (credit for this discovery to Blimix):
- "... the case of two men who have come up with an idea for ads reaching a captive audience. The ads can now be seen inside public bathroom stalls. 'It may seem silly,' says..."
- "A forty-nine-year-old, unidentified man went berserk last night, opening fire with a twelve-gauge shotgun in a crowded, downtown..."
- Jonathan's comments in his blog about these lines: "The newscast is a segment about ads above urinals, and then another about a guy going nuts with a shotgun. It felt a little goofy to drop that in there, but it also gave me chills, so I kept it."
