Live performances

The band's performance of the song on Late Show with David Letterman became an internet hit^[20] 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.^[21]

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]]''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8Uhf3gM1m0</ref>
