O'Toole can date the beginning of her songwriting career to events during a car ride after the September 11 attacks; as her husband Michael McKean describes it, "On September 11, 2001, Annette found herself without an airline to carry her back down to Los Angeles from Vancouver, where she films Smallville. So she drove a rental car down. The two of us drove it back up together, and on the long drive up there, somewhere between Portland and Seattle, she told me she had a tune in her head."{{cite web| title= Interview: Michael McKean & Annette O'Toole| url= http://www.soundtrack.net/features/article/?id=115 | date= January 7, 2004 | publisher= SoundtrackNet| access-date=October 1, 2010}} The "tune in her head" became "Potato's in the Paddy Wagon", one of three songs the couple wrote for A Mighty Wind, including the Oscar-nominated song "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow".{{Cite web |last=Alexander |first=Bryan |title='A Mighty Wind' turns 20: How 'Spinal Tap'-inspired music spoof found award love at end of the rainbow |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2023/05/08/a-mighty-wind-20th-anniversary-spinal-tap-spoof-oscar-nomination/11702118002/ |access-date=2025-01-29 |website=USA Today |language=en-US}}
