The band's performance of the song on Late Show with David Letterman became an internet hit due to frontman Samuel T. Herring's visual and vocal performance, which including 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.
