Songfacts®:

  • Seether frontman Shaun Morgan told Noisecreep about the penning of this tune. "It's just a song that I was screwing around with in my studio and it was like two or three in the morning and I just started playing that riff and decided it was pretty funny," he said. "So … I came back the next day and finished writing the song."

    The catchy track was released as the third single off Isolate and Medicate.
  • The song's music features Seether made up as elderly men, who perform the song during a gig at a retirement home. Shaun Morgan came up with the concept in close collaboration with director Nathan Cox (Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, System of a Down).
