Live performances
The band's performance of the song on Late Show with David Letterman became an internet hit[21] due to frontman Samuel T. Herring's visual and vocal performance, which included elaborate and angular dance moves and death metal-style growls. Herring also put on a similarly unusual performance during the band's performance of the song on Later... with Jools Holland.[22]
