Maar preken voor eigen parochie was destijds al zóóóóóó jaren 20, 21ste eeuw.

"We were going to call it Whistler's Mammy, and then we were going to call it Stunk. And then we decided that the next song that came on the radio was going to be the album title. The next thing you know, "When I find myself in times of trouble..." comes on the radio."
