8. "No One Gives a Hoot About FAUX-ASS Nonsense" – 10:43

The album suffers consistently from a misreading of the tracklisting on internet sources whereby "Dick Suffers..." and "Cold Knees" are switched in the order with "P,P,P,Pantless" and "Repeat Defender". However on careful examination of the CD booklet, the tracklisting is divided into 4 sections (I "Stupid Puma" & "please tokio...", II "P,P,P Pantless" & "Repeat Defender", III "Dick Suffers..." & "Cold Knees", IIII "Rollerblade..." & "No One Gives...") The tracklisting on Touch & Go's website compounds the confusion by offering the song "Cold Knees" for listening but naming it as "Repeat Defender".
