The song was likely inspired by the 2002 World Cup, held in Korea and Japan. {{Wiki2|Daegu,_South Korea|Daegu, South Korea}}, one of the host cities of that year's tournament is mentioned in the song. Cuomo the World Cup and Soccer in later songs "[[My Day is Coming]]" and "[[Represent]]." The song shares a [[Catalog O' Riffs]] entry number with the unheard song "[[Don't You Let My Heart Down]]," as well as the Weezer song "[[Peace]]" from the band's fifth album, ''[[Make Believe]]'', though "Peace" bears little resemblance to "Hey Domingo!"

The significance of the phrase "Hey Domingo!" is unknown, though the name was later briefly used as the name of a label created by [[Todd Sullivan]] (the A&R representative who originally signed Weezer to [[Geffen]]) in [[2005]].
