Single version
The CD single version of "Teflon" features four bonus non-album tracks, including a new one, "You"; a remix of the title track by The Cooling Brothers, aka Ku-Ling Brothers (Steven Mallinder—ex–Cabaret Volataire—and Shane Norton), which was recorded at Revolver Studios in Perth and produced by Laurie Singara; together with acoustic versions of both "Tracksuit" and "Jerks of Attention" recorded live by RTRFM on the radio station's breakfast programme, The Cornflakes.
The single release version was slightly remixed from the album version (consisting of a quieter "rap" section). The 7" vinyl release only featured the Cooling Brothers Remix of the song as its A-side, whilst the B-side was a Non-Stick mix of the song. In October 1998 Jedediah performed "Teflon" at the ARIA Music Awards ceremony. A live version recorded in London was issued on a bonus disc of an extended version of their fifth studio album, Kosciuszko, in April 2011.
