• The Tunbridge Wells garage rock duo Soft Play comprise drummer Isaac Holman and guitarist Laurie Vincent. The pair share the vocals. This song, their debut single, was released through Fonthill Records. It finds the band lost in local woods, trying to find their friend Debbie's car, scared that they're going to get attacked by Bigfoot.
  
  The story, Holman insisted to the Kent Courier, is real, as is friend-of-a-friend Debbie. "We had agreed to walk Debbie back to her car and the song is about being very, very scared of bumping into Bigfoot," he explained.
• Apparently, Holman and Vincent aren't speaking to Debbie any more. "She really let us down when we were filming the video," Holman explained to NME. "She was going to play Debbie but she just didn't turn up."
• The duo went by the name Slaves when this song was released, a reference to their working-class roots and tedious jobs they held. They vociferously defended the name amid criticism it was insensitive to those affected by slavery, at least until 2022 when they did an about face and changed it to Soft Play. "In this day and age we believe it is very important that people change and make improvements no matter how far down the line they are," they wrote in a statement.
