 ==Overview==
-"Falling for You" seems to be a sequel to "[[El Scorcho]]", in that it references the playing of a cello, includes the expletive "God damn!", and its very name is a phrase taken from the other song's lyrics.  In fact, it was originally slated to be the song to immediately follow "El Scorcho", until "[[Pink Triangle]]" was written, and sandwiched between the two.  Now that he has summoned the courage to speak to the girl, the narrator is now questioning himself on whether he deserves his position, and how to deal with it.
 At the beginning of the track, one can hear faint evidence of someone speaking.  During the recording sessions, Rivers' amplifier was receiving radio interference, of what sounded like a woman speaking an Asian language.  Considering the theme(s) of the album, Rivers felt it was divine intervention, and left the instrusion on the master tape as a happy accident, rather than re-record or edit the recording.

 The original album track was included on the 1996 [[Geffen Records]] sampler ''Son Of Swag'', raising the question as to whether the song was considered for single release at some point.
-In this song it is also quite ironic that Rivers sing the lyric "little old 3 chord me" but he uses every root note on the fretboard.
+In this song, Rivers sing the lyric "little old 3 chord me", although interestingly he uses every root note on the fretboard.
 The numerous chord progressions and key changes in the song make it one of the most difficult to recreate live, evidenced by Cuomo's comments before and after performing the song live from ''[[The Lion and the Witch]]'' EP. Before starting the song, Cuomo facetiously says, "I'd like to ask for the Lord's help in guiding us through the performance of this next song. Please God!" He then rejoices at the completion of the song, exclaiming, "Yeah! We didn't fuck it up! We kicked ass! We redeemed ourselves. We displayed our superiority to the multitudes."
-Rivers drops the "f" word during his stage banter on this live version of the song, which was edited out.  This is curious, considering the EP was intended for independent record stores, and not big retailers like Wal-Mart, who usually request such edits.
