Background edit
According to the liner notes of the Dare to Be Stupid album, Yankovic was preparing to write songs for the album when his then-girlfriend at the time broke up with him. In order to get over the breakup, Yankovic wrote a humorous about his anger towards the break-up which eventually turned into this song.[2]
Lyrics edit
The lyrics talk about very unrealistic things that someone would do after a breakup
Things mentioned in order edit
Pulling their name out of a Rolodex
Tearing the pictures of them apart
Burning down a malt shop
Eating shards of broken glass
Leaving himself at the “gas station of love”
Getting a hundred thousand papercuts on his face
Ripping his intestines out with fork
Slaming his fingers in a door
Letting his blood get sucked out by leeches
Shoving an ice pick under a toe nail or two
Cleaning all the toilets in Grand Central Station with his tongue
Jumping naked onto a pile of thumbtacks
Sticking his nostrils together with Krazy Glue
Diving into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades
Ripping his heart right out of his ribcage with his bare hands and then throwing it right onto the floor and stomping on it until he dies
"Weird Al" Yankovic’s thoughts on the song. edit
Al said that it was still one of his favorites in the Permanent Record: Al In The Box booklet.[3]
