I've heard that at the time Richard Meltzer basically looked down on most people as idiots. This is just an extension of sentiments previously expressed in "What is Quicksand?" and "Bonomo's Turkish Taffy" |

I remember reading an interview in which Buck said that the genesis of the song was the combination of recently falling in love with Sandy and his grandmother being seriously ill in a hospital. As he spent time with his grandmother he was thinking about what he would do if it was Sandy that he was losing. |

Richard Meltzer wrote it to annoy Les Braunstein, who was the singer at the time. The two didn't get along and Braunstein was rather pretentious and hated performing it. After Eric Bloom replaced Braunstein they continued to do the song because they thought it was amusing. Most bands at the time had a few funny novelty songs in their repertoire as well. |
