"Teflon" is the third single from Slightly Odway, the debut album from Australian alternative rock band, Jebediah. It was written by band members, Chris Daymond, Kevin Mitchell (aka Bob Evans), Vanessa Thornton and Brett Mitchell. It was produced by Neill King and was released on 23 March 1998, peaking at number 41 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart.[1] It polled at number 42 in the Triple J Hottest 100 music poll for 1998.[2]
Single version
The CD single version of "Teflon" features four bonus non-album tracks, including a new one, "You"; a remix of the title track by The Cooling Brothers, aka Ku-Ling Brothers (Steven Mallinder—ex–Cabaret Volataire—and Shane Norton), which was recorded at Revolver Studios and produced by Laurie Singara; together with acoustic versions of both "Tracksuit" and "Jerks of Attention" recorded live by RTRFM on the radio station's breakfast programme, The Cornflakes.
The single release version was slightly remixed from the album version (consisting of a quieter "rap" section).[citation needed] The 7" vinyl release only featured the Cooling Brothers Remix of the song as its A-side, whilst the B-side was a Non-Stick mix of the song.
