"But there's been a weird new phenomenon, which is that amongst very young people, there's a lot of interest in this song that was a really dark horse, “Stuff Is Way.” It was never intended to be a single. It's just a very deep album cut from probably a number of years ago … There's some young person who made an anime video for it, which references some cultural things that I don't even really know about. And it just went viral for some reason. And now, if you go on TikTok, there are something like 14,000 dance videos to this song, which is not even really a dance track, and it is one of our most popular songs on Spotify … And this is just like a really oddball track, not a pop song, not anything we were ever thinking of promoting, but now we're being forced to learn it. So we're going to be playing in the live show, because we have to, apparently."
