Close But No Cigar is a parody of Cake's musical style. The story of a man that dumps his girlfriends for the tiniest flaws. The lyrical theme is specifically similar to Cake's song "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" from their album Comfort Eagle (2001), which is about a man with very specific demands when it comes to girls. The trumpet line is nearly identical to the one in Cake's song "Love You Madly", also from Comfort Eagle.
