Al once recalled walking down a street in Hollywood when some punks started following him, then one of them yelled at him “hey!” and told him “Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota… That’s like our favorite song”. Al replied saying “thanks.”[2]
Writing edit
Al was inspired to write the song from a book he got called Roadside America, all the places he mentions in the song are real places like Elvis-A-Rama and the Tupperware Museum.[3]
