{{Rivers|It's not about anything. It's just a bunch of garbage lyrics. [It was] six in the morning. I had three shots of tequila, and I forget how many milligrams of Ritalin, and I just went in my backyard and sat down. In like half an hour I was just like foaming at the mouth, and I just wrote it in one manic burst of about three minutes. Sitting there in the chair, composing in my head. Not even with a guitar. Just all in my mind. Bam. There's "Dope Nose."}}</blockquote> | {{Rivers|It's not about anything. It's just a bunch of garbage lyrics. [It was] six in the morning.

Early mixes of the song were delivered to radio prior to the album's release, when [[Rivers Cuomo]] took it upon himself to distribute material from the album during its mixing/mastering process. At least two different versions of the promo went out, with different mixes of "[[Keep Fishin']]" and this song. These versions featured backup vocals in different sections, or no backup vocals at all, and its original, fade-in intro - as opposed to the isolated riff that begins the LP version. | Early mixes of the song were delivered to radio prior to the album's release, when [[Rivers Cuomo]] took it upon himself to distribute material from the album during its mixing/mastering process.
