[edit] Music video

Several jokes in the music video are inspired by a scene in the movie Top Secret!, a movie Yankovic cites as one of his favorites. Most notable are the microphone gags and the presence of three back-up singers, played in the music video by Yankovic's band. Additionally, in concert, while performing this song, Yankovic removes a pair of boxers from his pants and hands them to a female in the audience, which is also inspired by that scene.

[edit] Trivia

  • Yankovic wrote this song about an ex-girlfriend. Her picture can be seen being torn up in the video.
