"Just a Song About Ping Pong" first surfaced on On the Prowl, the 2006 debut EP from Australian rock band Operator Please, a hyperactive indie-rock jolt with a title that sounds like a shrug. Once Virgin Records signed them, the band cut it again, and in July 2007 the new version kicked off their debut album, Yes Yes Vindictive, as its lead single.
That second go paid off. It climbed to number 12 on the ARIA singles chart and picked up three nominations at that year's ARIA Music Awards, winning Breakthrough Artist - Single. The Australian CD single bulked it out with a Kissy Sell Out remix and two more songs, "In Motion" and "Spying".
