Just a Song About Ping Pong
Just a Song About Ping Pong is the third EP/single released by the Australian band Operator Please from their debut album Yes Yes Vindictive. It had existed before its official release in a different version which was originally included on Operator Please's first release, On the Prowl, which was released in 2006. The earlier version has a less-polished sound (due to not being professionally recorded) and is slightly slower.
