All four members are credited, and Wikipedia gives the recording as February 1993. It came out as a 7-inch on Alias in 1993, their first release for the label, with "Bathroom" and "Tatyana" on the other sides, and it opens Icky Mettle. PopMatters puts the length at about two minutes and five seconds. We found no band statement on its meaning; Neil Strauss in the New York Times (1994) called it Bachmann's own tongue-in-cheek version of a love song. Pitchfork's Matt LeMay named it among the finest indie rock songs ever written, and Pitchfork ranked it 77th on its list of the top 200 tracks of the 1990s. The video ran on Beavis and Butt-Head, and the song appears on the Mallrats soundtrack.

It is their most played song on setlist.fm at 124 times. Alkaline Trio covered it for A.V. Undercover and Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional played it for a Daytrotter session in 2011. We could not tell whether our upload is the album, the video or a live take.
