MAN
They got the mustard out
CHORUS

Production
- Whedon explained the song: "The way David Fury, Co-Executive Producer, throws himself into his mustard song is also sort of amazing. This was a way of saying, 'Everybody's in a musical!' and to do the biggest, most old-fashioned, brightly colored, silliest piece about absolutely nothing. Kind of get the big production number out of the way since I couldn't really afford to do them, and that's not really what I feel like writing. This is a more personal piece. And so it involves a lot more solo numbers and stuff like that."[1]
