Trivia

  • Like the other Thing a Week albums, this has liner notes written by John Hodgman. The original liner notes, which may be read here, include the following:

I was making the point that Coulton's sometime reputation as a "novelty" songwriter put him in a category in which the apex of fame was embodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic (Coulton would prefer me to say Tom Lehrer, I'm sure, but he is dead and nowhere near as famous or as weird).

Lehrer is not dead.

In the printed liner notes, the parenthetical clause finishes, "...but he is nowhere near as famous or as weird".
