The song is pretty simple in the title, it being about a wild and excessive party where everyone is getting drunk and having a great time without any care for consequences. It's a chaotic and out-of-control gathering where everyone's indulging in extreme behaviors and excesses, such as drinking gasoline, with the overall meaning about how one has to live in the moment and have a good time, regardless of how crazy things may get.
In an interview with Biff Byford, he stated how they got to work with Elton John on this track. Stating: "We were in the studio at the same time and our producer knew him. We thought it would be cool if he would play on “Party ‘Til You Puke.,” ‘cause that’s not really his style of music (laughs). We thought it would be cool if he would play on something that wasn’t naturally his type of style. He was cool, actually. He came and played, and we were hanging out with his band, really. I think he was helicoptering in and out of the studio every couple of days on his way to royal weddings or whatever. We got to know the band more than him, really, but he was a nice enough guy, ya know?"
