Songfacts®:

  • In this song Kurt Wagner of Lambchop riffs on the word "stand." He admitted to The Village Voice that this track was a songwriting exercise. Wagner explained: "I wanted to try to use one word, and then, 'What word?' And for some reason 'stand' became the word. For me there's lots of minor, interesting reasons why I like that. I mean, I sit all the time and play and whatever. That was the starting point."
