Trivia

*Catch was written by Ben Lee and Mcgowan Southwroth.
*3 minutes and 17 seconds into the song, a person can be heard sneezing in the background, referring to the "catching" of the disease mentioned in the song.
*When Lee performs the song live, he usually changes the second and third verses. Instead of singing "I was backstage in Pomona", he sings "backstage at/in..." and substitutes the name of whatever venue he is playing at the time. He will also change the next line, "She drank beer with Coca-Cola" to make it rhyme with the original. For example, when he performed on the live music TV series "Live at the Chapel", the second verse went, "I was backstage at the Chapel, and that's the way I like it. She drank beer with schnapps and apple, and that's the way I like it." Similarly, Lee will substitute different band/artist names from those mentioned in the original version's third verse, Beyoncé and Good Charlotte. In his Australian tour with Missy Higgins, he added "Missy Higgins was playing on the radio...and that's that way I like it" and after a pause and cheering "I heard me playing on the radio and that's the way I like it" (to more cheering).
*The song is featured in the 2005 film "", a 2006 Dell computer commercial, the The CW Television Network's short-lived drama, "Hidden Palms", the TV show Scrubs, and also the movie Just Friends.
