The differences between this and the album version are that the guitar is toned down and an expletive is edited

out. All rights reserved to the owner of this song.

It was released as a single in April 1998. The song gained popularity after Sean Nelson gave a copy of the album

to a KNDD DJ. Shortly after this, it was picked up by KROQ-FM. It then appeared at #38 on the Billboard Hot 100

Airplay chart. A music video was produced to promote the single. The song is regarded as a power pop single by

MTV and a post-grunge anthem by author Ericka Chickowski. PopMatters describes the single as "a hyper-literate

alt-rock dissection of the stupidity of the modern age". Music journalist Rob Sheffield also considers the song

as "nineties pop-punk rage at its loudest".
