Overview
At the beginning of the track, one can hear faint evidence of someone speaking. During the recording sessions, Rivers' amplifier was receiving radio interference, of what sounded like a woman speaking an Asian language. Considering the theme(s) of the album, Rivers felt it was divine intervention, and left the instrusion on the master tape as a happy accident, rather than re-record or edit the recording.
The song is segued into from the album's previous track, "Pink Triangle", marking the first time on a Weezer album that two songs were segued together.
The original album track was included on the 1996 Geffen Records sampler Son Of Swag, raising the question as to whether the song was considered for single release at some point.
In this song, Rivers sing the lyric "little old 3 chord me", although interestingly he uses every root note on the fretboard.
The numerous chord progressions and key changes in the song make it one of the most difficult to recreate live, evidenced by Cuomo's comments before and after performing the song live from The Lion and the Witch EP. Before starting the song, Cuomo facetiously says, "I'd like to ask for the Lord's help in guiding us through the performance of this next song. Please God!" He then rejoices at the completion of the song, exclaiming, "Yeah! We didn't fuck it up! We kicked ass! We redeemed ourselves. We displayed our superiority to the multitudes."
Personnel
- Rivers Cuomo – lead guitar, lead vocals
- Patrick Wilson – percussion
- Brian Bell – rhythm guitar, backing vocals

Lyrics
<lyrics>Holy cow! I think I've got one here Now just what am I s'posed to do? I've got a number of irrational fears That I'd like to share with you First, there's rules about old goats like me Hangin' 'round with chicks like you -but I do like you- And another one: you say "like" too much
But I'm shakin' at your touch I like you way too much My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you 'n' I'd do 'bout anything to get the hell out alive Or maybe I would rather settle down with you
Holy moly, baby, wouldn't you know it? Just as I was bustin' loose I gotta go turn in my rock star card and get fat and old with you 'cuz I'm a burning candle you're a gentle moth Teaching me to lick a little bit kinder And I do like you - you're the lucky one No! I'm the lucky one
But I'm shakin' at your touch I like you way too much My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you 'n' I'd do 'bout anything to get the hell out alive Or maybe I would rather settle down with you
Holy Sweet goddamn! You left your cello in the basement I admired the glowing stars and tried to play a tune' I can't believe how bad I suck, it's true What could you possibly see in little ol' 3-chord me? But I do like you and you like me too I'm ready, let's do it baby
But I'm shakin' at your touch I like you way too much My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you 'n' I'd do 'bout anything to get the hell out alive Or maybe I would rather settle down with you </lyrics>
