Album contents

Hits from Yesterday & the Day Before compiles singles released in the US in 1997–2010. One non-album single is included; "The Big Bang Theory Theme". The album contains nine songs previously included on Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991–2001), four songs from three of the band's albums released in the ten years since that release (Everything to Everyone, Barenaked Ladies Are Me, and All in Good Time), and the non-album "The Big Bang Theory Theme". No tracks from holiday-themed Barenaked for the Holidays or the children's album Snacktime! are included.

Royalty lawsuit

In September 2015, TMZ discovered court documents filed by Steven Page over "The History of Everything (Theme from The Big Bang Theory)" Page alleged that he was promised 20 percent of the proceeds from the song, which includes revenue generated from this album, claiming former bandmate Ed Robertson kept that money for himself.[1]
