Commentary:
Family & Friends:
"This song is based on the time I was arrested for jumping a subway turnstile and walking right into two transit cops with a sheet of acid in my pocket. Adam Horovitz and Dave Scilken used to call me “Reuben” after Reuben Kincaid, the Partridge Family's manager. The "penis dance" was a dance was a silly little of a more gesture than dance which I used to do for attention when I was younger." - Nick Cooper correspondence with Beastiemania.com September 20th, 2010
