During an interview in 2007, Roddy Woomble mentioned that he had:

"one copy of ‘Queen Of The Troubled Teens’, but the thing is that it’s rubbish. I mean, for what it is – when I look back, like I do with fondness at copies of a favourite book or something – musically it’s just a bunch of 19-year-olds. Of course it’s part of the band’s history, but I think things have moved on.”[1]

The song has appeared on recent setlists, and remains a fan-favourite.
