When introducing this song at a concert in May 2010, Erin explained that she wrote this song while on a concert tour in Europe. She was the opening act riding on a tour bus on which she was the only female and the only one not smoking. The sense of choking on bad air in a tightly enclosed place comes out pretty strongly here.
I like the witty title, but I have to admit that this is one of my least favorite Erin McKeown songs -- too dirge-like from an artist with so much energy. Still, it's interesting to know where this song came from.
