Additional Info:
- The released version on Chef Aid features a saxophone solo and backing vocals by Isaac Hayes, the voice of the character Chef from South Park.
- The song was originally sung by Gerald V. Casale, but the Chef Aid producer wanted Mark to sing as he's more recognizable. They compromised by having Jerry sing the chorus, while Mark sang the verses.
- Song Connections: That's What He Said lyrics "I have been hurt/I will hurt others" and Huboon Stomp lyrics "...I’ve been hurt/Gonna hurt you"
- The word "huboon" is a portmanteau of "human" and "baboon."
- The narrator of the song's lyrics says; "I don’t want to be part of the human race/I did it to myself," and "I had the operation."
