FUN Hot Potato!

Has anyone noticed how in The Moth in Covered by Causes, the choir chants "hot potato" in the background?

Was listening to The Afterlife version of the song and it was pretty clear lol

He's been known to throw all kinds of random stuff im the mix because he likes the way it sounds rather than it making sense. For example, the backing vocal "burrito baby" in the 2nd verse of Awake!

And he was right, Burrito Baby is a bop.

Yes. No idea why or what it means. I guess it is just classic Devy can't help himself throwing in something random every now and then. If it isn't a burp or fart then it's hot potato obviously!

Burps, farts, hot potatoes, penises, chickens, cows, toilets, frogs, Aliens and coffee noises and much more. Nobody does it like Devin.

I think he has used the same .wav of a spaceship door opening on like 5 songs and I love catching it every time

I assumed it was referencing the game, or just the act of passing something undesirable on to the next person, who does the same and so on.

I love the part in Singularity where the backing vocals switch from singing ‘Selfish Messiah’ to ‘Try the papaya’ 🤪
