I wouldn't go this far, but it's never really worked for me either. Ending the album with it never made sense to me.
I think it would have been a weird closer, but I've always found it super catchy -- which stands out in out in a group of songs that didn't really go in for big, easy melodies. Love the rhythm too -- I don't think there's any other PJ song that rides this particular groove.
It's like a very peppy Thin Air
Wait, how

I think If you sped up Thin Air a bit, it would go nicely with the Education beat.

and if time permits, please use your sound engineering skills to create an education + simpsons mashup remix that drives the theme home

Education is a weird Eastern European stomp, something wildly unique in the band's catalogue.

Thin Air is a slightly drab, faux country thing.

I just don't hear any connection at all.

If you play my father’s daughter and speed it up ?
It becomes my father’s son.

Surprised nobody’s noticed.
They didn’t listen to lightning bolt maybe.
