Band members Dan Haggis and Tord Overland-Knudsen told blogcritics.org: "That song is like people dancing and having fun to songs they really find quite depressing. It's about people dancing to "Love Will Tear Us Apart," been havin' a hard week, then letting loose. The ridiculousness of life gets you down, but it's kind of like the music can get you out of it."
The Wombats are Matthew Murphy (vocals, guitar and keyboards), Dan Haggis (drums) and Tord Overland-Knudsen (bass) who met at Sir Paul McCartney's Liverpool Performing Arts Academy.
Dan Haggis explained to The Sun October 26, 2007 how the band came up with their name: "Me and Murph used to have a few fictional characters we'd write about. There was Fred The Ferret, Jeremiah The Brave Tortoise, Guinevere The Magical Otter and Wombo The Wombat. The Wombats went on a poster for our first gig."
