Let's Misbehave label, by Banjo Buddy (aka Harold Sandelman). This version by Irving Aaronson used in two Woody Allen films: at the opening and close of the 1972 film "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)", and at the close of the 1994 film "Bullets Over Broadway". The song is featured in a prominent dance sequence by Christopher Walken in the Steve Martin musical "Pennies From Heaven" (1981). It also appears in the 1994 film "Timecop". Most recently, it appeared in the 2013 film "The Great Gatsby". This recording is also featured in Ken Burns' 2011
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence would eventually be heard by producer Ross Robinson. Robinson, impressed by the material, would then show up to a rehearsal, after which he offered them studio time at Indigo Ranch and convinced Roadrunner Records to sign the group. Recording sessions for the album lasted for about two months total. While all material for the album was written by the band before production began, Robinson did influence arrangements of the tracks "Hurting and Shoving (She Should Have Let Me Sleep)" and the album's title track. The album has been noted for its overall angry and negative tone in terms of lyrics.
