Trivia/Info
- The "1, 2, 3, 4..4..4," etc. is a sample of a Dee Dee Ramone countoff.
- The beginning guitar riff pays homage to "Pleasant Valley Sunday" by the Monkees.
- The song that is heard underneath the fade-out is Side 2 from Dial-A-Song.
- "Weird Al" Yankovic seems to be paying homage to this track on his song, "I Remember Larry." Similarities are especially noticeable in the chorus, which has an almost identical melody, as well as in the ending fadeout. Incidentally, the song is from his 1996 album, Bad Hair Day, which also contains the admitted TMBG style-parody, "Everything You Know Is Wrong."
