Wikipedia credits Angelakos and Mary O'Hara, and says it contains elements of O'Hara's recording of the traditional "Oro Mo Bhaidin". It was added to Chunk of Change for the commercial release, and was the only EP track on Manners, because, Angelakos told Songfacts, it was a beautiful song and they had it mastered. He told Songfacts, Originally it was a Valentine's gift for my girlfriend that was never supposed to go beyond her ears. Raleigh magazine reports he found the record in a bargain bin in a Cambridge record shop, listened and lost his mind, and called it basically Row, Row, Row Your Boat in Gaelic; O'Hara, then 91, sold him the rights for $100 and he shares publishing. That price and a 1958 date for the original come from a single press account.

The video, directed by The Wilderness in October 2008, made Pitchfork's Top 40 Music Videos of 2008. The song was used in the debut trailer and title sequence of LittleBigPlanet 2 in 2011 and in a Palm Pixie commercial. Setlist.fm counts it in 337 setlists, the most of any Passion Pit song, ahead of "Little Secrets" and "The Reeling" at 323. We found no chart entry and could not confirm covers. Our upload is tagged with the EP, so it is presumably that version.
