When asked about the song, Billy Gould replied: cquotetxt|Mike can do a lot of wild things with his voice, for one. But, yeah, he sang through an old Telefunken tube mic and we compressed the living shit out of it.|Billy Gould [ [http://www.angelfire.com/pa3/fnm/FNMquotes.html#1997] , "Faith No More - The Making of Album of the Year" (Keyboard Magazine, September 1997)]

Music video

The music video is based on Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo", a film dealing with acrophobia. [ [http://www.fnm.com/faq/#48 Q48] on the FNM website] It features the lead singer, Mike Patton dressed in the same outfit as James Stewart's character, trailing a blonde played by Jennifer Jason Leigh, respectively dressed the same as "Vertigo" 's female lead Madeleine. Many scenes are recreated from the film, such as the opening rooftop sequence, Madeleine's plunge into San Francisco bay, Mike moving up and down a stepladder, the belltower sequence complete with the famous Hitchcock Zoom and the psychedelic dream sequence.

The emphasis is mainly on parody, key moments including drummer Puffy Bordin sweeping Mike Patton's head in the dream sequence with a broom (presumedly a reference to "Vertigo"'s scene where Midge is describing to Scottie that music can clear the cobwebs out of your head like a broom), bassist Billy Gould cross dressing, Leigh's character being a black wigged sado-masochist, and Leigh fainting when she sees a shadowy figure in the tower, which ends up being drummer Puffy Bordin, who at the end of the video casually starts eating a bagel.
