History[]

With this song being part of a suite it does not have a lot of unique history with the group. Like with all other song from this album it is a cover of the 1967 hit "To Sir with Love". The Residents likely heard this song quite a bit as college students. with To Sir, with Love being a hit in 1967 it was an easy choice for their 3rd album The Third Reich 'n Roll. This song has never been performed live by the group as it is cut from all live versions of "Swastikas on Parade". The song was included on "Groovy Greats RDX".
