Overview
The song was originally released in 2002, appearing as the final track on Press Any Key to Begin, the debut album by Karl Koch under the Karlophone moniker. On July 1, 2004, the song was released as a 7"-vinyl single on the website of Amorphous Records (a record label co-ran by Koch and friend Pat Finn), with a total of 500 copies pressed.[2] It was later put up for sale on his Bandcamp page. According to Koch, the single's art was taken from a "book of old lithographic images".[3] Former Weezer bassist Matt Sharp, in a letter to fans posted in 2004, praised the song and advertised the release of the vinyl:

The single features two b-sides: "If You Listen", a previously-unreleased track co-produced and featuring guitar work by Patrick Wilson; and a remix of "Desire" by Swiss DJ Kid Chocolat. The remix utilizes stereoscopic sound and features a more atmospheric tone than the original. Karlophone would simultaneously contribute a song titled "Dr. Strangelove Sings the Beatles Pt. 1 (Num Num Mix)" to Kid Chocolat's compilation CD Hello Children, The Peter Sellers Rmx in 2004.
Kid Chocolat remixed "Desire" again in 2007, releasing the "(Kid Chocolat Rmx Version 2)" on the album KCRMX.[4]
