Notes:

Adam says this song is an "attempt to imitate the way Chris usually writes. So I tried to sit down and come up with a bunch of images that didn't make a whole lot of sense, and then say at the chorus, 'What the hell, we might as well get drunk'".

In the video, the twins are named after the wives of Chris and Adam.

The video was re-edited due to MTV's FCC paranoia in 2004. Here are the differences from the original:
  • Change #1

    • Was: The twins introducing the song

    • Now: Scene deleted

  • Change #2

    • Was: The twins making a drinking motion.

    • Now: Drew Carey watching the performance

  • Change #3

    • Was: Jody catching wine before it hits a woman's stomach.

    • Now: A woman staring out the window.

  • Change #4

    • Was: The twins making a drinking motion again.

    • Now: Drew Carey talking to a stage manager.
