During the episode of ''Making Records'', Walker and Valentine noticed a mistake in which two overlaid guitar sections (around 1:22 in the song, accompanying the lyric "I knew we would end up jamming") were moved out of sync. Walker remarked "Nobody caught it, and it worked and it was cool." The show also revealed that the lyric "The heartbreak DJ" was originally "The ''foxy'' DJ", but was changed, possibly due to a "managerial decision." | During the episode of ''Making Records'', Walker and Valentine noticed a mistake in which two overlaid guitar sections (around 1:22 in the song, accompanying the lyric "I knew we would end up jamming") were moved out of sync.

====High Hopes==== | |||
<poem> | |||
Met her at a guitar shop in Santa Monica and 7th Street | |||
The salesman tried to get my attention to sell me a Mexican Fender | |||
She came to get her 10,000 steps and hang out with her boyfriend | |||
But I was only trying to get to know her so I took her out to the ocean | |||
It was hot, hot, 100 degrees | |||
But she only went in up to her knees | |||
She didn't want to take off her jeans 'cause that would be insane | |||
I got high hopes | |||
I got high hopes | |||
Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not | |||
Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not | |||
She got a bachelor's degree in physics and a job in computer programming | |||
That's pretty cool for a girl in a band so I knew we'd end up jamming | |||
Later that night we went to a gig and she asked for some advice | |||
"What do you do with your hands when you're singing, do you just hold onto the mic?" | |||
It was hot, hot, 100 degrees | |||
And the trash overflowed out on the street | |||
The cute girl DJ talked to me but I just couldn't get enough | |||
I got high hopes | |||
I got high hopes | |||
Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not | |||
Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not | |||
