You Get The Idea, was recorded in November of 2007. Perhaps oddly, it's one of Flipping the Pig's more upbeat ventures. "Oddly" because it was recorded in the midst of some heavy-duty medical treatments. (The manic Weird Al singing for Pere Ubu "Must Be Nice," for example, was recorded within 48 hours of Mansk losing his voice due to radiation therapy.) The collection opens with the Chinnichap glam pop of "Love That Matters," the sardonic warped Disney feel of "The World Owes You Nothing," and the Partridge Family on steroids power pop parade of "Fixed." Among it all, though, there are still forays into dreamy melancholia, as is evident in "Get Along," "I Wish I Was Here," and the darker "Winter's Grey."
