It is a great song. It's what I use to convince my friends that FOW is more than "Stacy's Mom". As for the lyrics, this is the explanation from the Out Of State Plates album insert:
Adam Schlesinger: Our attorney Josh Grier works at a big fancy law firm with a big fancy waiting room. One day, we were sitting there, waiting, and there was a magazine called California Lawyer on the coffee table facing us. Chris said, apropos of nothing, "California sex lawyer." Perhaps it was only because we were sitting in a quiet office, but at the time it seemed like the funniest thing in the world. Why it needed to be turned into a song, I'm still not sure.

Chris Collingwood: Me neither, but I blame you.
