• This warped funk tune finds Mac DeMarco fantasizing about fleeing the city in a train. The track features the sound of a train station attendant's whistle. Kind of. "I had a choo choo whistle that I bought in Riga while on tour," Demarco told Q Magazine. "But when I came back, I couldn't find it. I ordered a new whistle and it was a steamboat whistle. So, it's a bit of a deception."
• The song features a cartoonish gong suddenly crashing very loudly in the mix. "Well it's a gong, you've gotta get it up there," Demarco stressed to Q. "My manager bought me that gong for my birthday a couple of years ago, so I figured, 'gotta put it on the disc.'"
• DeMarco told Uncut magazine the song came from him watching a Larry Graham bass tutorial on YouTube. He thought to himself, "Well, I could take this little practice here and make a looped song out of it."
  
  After DeMarco created the song he thought, "This is dope - I think I'll put it on my record."
