Alternate versions

Certainly two songs — "Laura" & "Lovers in the Backseat" — have two versions. With regard to "Lovers in the Backseat", the earlier version is 3:36 in length and does not feature extra drums and cymbal crash, which follows the line "on the radio" at the end of the first chorus and "I'll just watch the show" in the second and third chorus. The new version also ends with Jake singing "on the radio" in a vocoder effect. The earlier version simply ends rather abruptly. An edit of Filthy/Gorgeous used on the band's Myspace omits a monologue by Ana Matronic towards the end of the song. MySpace is a popular social networking Website offering an interactive user-submitted network of friends personal profiles blogs groups photos music and Ana Matronic (born Ana Lynch, 14 August, 1974, Portland, Oregon) is the female lead singer for the Scissor Sisters

The newer mix of "Laura" has a saxophone part after 02:50 right through to the end.

Why these two songs have been remix/reworked remains unclear. Possible they were the first songs finished for the album and have been revisited to pull them up to the standard of the rest.
