"Jerks of Attention" is where Jebediah's story starts. The Australian band cut it at Birdland Studio in Melbourne in August 1996 with Lindsay Gravina and Mikey Alonso producing, and on 8 December that year it came out on Murmur as their debut single, climbing to No. 62 on the ARIA Singles Chart. It got them a Best New Talent nomination at the 1997 ARIA Music Awards and picked up a WAMi Award for Most Popular Song.
Kevin Mitchell wrote the words, with the music credited to him, Chris Daymond, Brett Mitchell and Vanessa Thornton, and underneath all that scrappy alternative-rock rush the lyric is about getting stoned. When the debut album Slightly Odway came around in 1997, they recorded it all over again, this time with Neill King producing and mixing.
