the title doesn't really have anything to do with the song. pete yorn told it this way at a concert -- he was in california and he bought a used guitar, brought it home and wrote this song in about four minutes. afterwards, he said he noticed two things about the guitar. First, the neck had been cracked in half and glued back together, which meant the guitar store had screwed him. Two, on the back of the guitar someone had written "Nancy". As he put it "somewhere out there is a chick named Nancy who broke her guitar -- this one's for you"
