Writing and compositionRegarding the song's conception and its position as The Sophtware Slumps opening track, Jason Lytle noted: "It was definitely a struggle to get all the three parts to actually sound like they were intended to live together. I usually get into this space where, once the album starts to come together, I start to figure out what's missing or what needs to be added, and I realised that it really needed something like that to set it off in a certain direction. It's just a struggle putting something like that together and making it not sound forced, y’know?"[1] Release"He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot." was released as the second single from The Sophtware Slump. It reached number 82 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] TouringGrandaddy toured with Elliott Smith in 2000 and he would occasionally join them onstage and sing lead vocals on parts of this song.[3] LegacyThe song was featured on the soundtrack of UK hidden camera show Trigger Happy TV[4] and the films Jackpot (2001), The Forest for the Trees (2003), and Occupation: Dreamland (2005).[5] Actor Jason Lee has cited this song as the inspiration to name his child Pilot Inspektor.[6] Track listing{{Track listing| title1 = He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot. | length1 = 8:56 | title2 = Wives of Farmers | length2 = 3:40 | title3 = N.
