The Commercial Single was released to promote The Commercial Album by the Residents. It was released only in the United Kingdom and, despite being called a single, included eight songs: six songs from the album and two (unlisted) bonus tracks, all clocking in at one minute. In France, Celluloid Records issued only the two hidden tracks, correctly titled, as an independent single.
