Trivia/Info
- John Flansburgh, from the Mono Puff bio page: "I'm a big fan of New Orleans soul, which is so different and so under-acknowledged compared to Motown or Atlantic. We tried to incorporate that feel into this track."
- Flansburgh spoke about the song's lyrics in a 2025 Tumblr answer:[1]
"It’s Fun to Steal" is essentially an unreliable narrator song that I put together. At that moment there was a very gross trend in the world of dudes—and it probably reached its peak with the show The Pickup Artist with the host Mystery introducing the world to ideas like negging, and more cringy things. The song is written from the point of view of his nervous wingman, who is basically saying what goes around comes around...
- John Linnell spoke about the song in a Strange Advice interview in August 1998:
"It's Fun to Steal" is really a great song, it's actually very, you know the thing about that is that it's a very sincere song, I had a long conversation with John about that song and we were talking about... [Interviewer: "The implications?"]
It's actually a very moralistic song in a way, like it's disguised as a kind of amoral song but it's sort of condemning the person who cheats but in I think an interesting way.
