"No Aphrodisiac" won Song of the Year at the 1998 ARIA Awards and was also nominated for Single of the Year, losing out to Natalie Imbruglia's Torn. The song was performed by the band at the ceremony before the Millennium.
The song was written for Freedman's girlfriend of the time, who was living in Melbourne. "We were growing apart, not writing to each other so much," Freedman has said. "Pinky Beecroft and Chit Chat had just played me a demo of theirs, which consisted of very funny personal classifieds, and we used 6 lines of that to finish the song."
The single mix adds more electric guitar to the song and is a minute shorter than the album version. Curiously, it does not appear on the band's 2008 best-of, instead the album version was used, which was also the preferred radio version.

Famous quotes containing the word details:
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“Then he told the news media
the strange details of his death
and they hammered him up in the marketplace
and sold him and sold him and sold him.
My death the same.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
