[edit] Trivia/Info

  • At a 2003 show, Flans introduced this as "a song for all those of you who, when you take a good deep look inside yourselves, have to turn away in disgust. That's right... I'm talking about you. (points to a guy in the crowd) You specifically, right there. Don't look around, sir, we understand each other... Hey, I'm just kidding, man. (laughs) I guess if you don't have a microphone like me you have little recourse but to give me the finger." Dan Miller then started playing guitar with only his middle finger. I believe the guy left shortly after that.
  • In live performances, the audience is often asked to shout "Drink! Drink!" back (usually split in two and instructed to shout successively) after each time the word "drink" is sung. In some cases, the show is set up intervention-style, and the audience is asked to shout back "No! Wait!" after each time "drink" is sung.
