The album was first made available to purchase for download on 17 August 2009, through the web site Gogoyoko, with 10 percent of the proceeds being donated to the non-governmental organisationRefugees United.[1] The full European release followed on 24 August, and the North American on 22 September.[9][10]
As indicated by the title, some of the album's songs partly and informally rework melodies and lyrics from known pop songs. Thus, "If I Were a Fish" includes references to the Tim Hardin song "If I Were a Carpenter" and "Sing Along" includes a melody from "The World Laughs On", a song by Danish musician Otto Brandenburg, popularized in an Icelandic version in 1960 entitled "Ég er kominn heim", performed by Óðinn Valdimarsson.
