It is unclear which track, '''Chocolate Box''' or '''Disco Jellyfish''', came first; it is possible, given the presence of discoball jellyfish on the [[Album: MPLSound|MPLSound]] album cover and their use in 2009 stage sets, that '''Disco Jellyfish''' was originally intended for the album (perhaps replaced by [[Chocolate Box]]), but this is unverified. |
