Daily Trivia
From January 7, 2020 Rolling Stone article: The title of the album is somewhat a nod to 1939's The Wizard of Oz, which featured a skywritten message reading "Surrender Dorothy."

"I think Wizard of Oz came to mind when it was first conceived," Pollard says. "I did a five-song EP about four or five years ago under the name Sunflower Logic and we included a mock catalog for the label name we used, Pink Banana Records. In it there are 50 or 60 fake band names with titles for 45s, EPs albums and compilations and one of the songs was "Surrender Your Poppy Field." It stuck and I decided to give it a real home on a Guided by Voices album."
