The song was covered by [[The Rentals]] in [[1995]] for the [[KROQ]] holiday compilation ''[[How the ----- Stole Christmas|How The _____ Stole Christmas]]''. It was then re-released by the band in [[2001]] as part of their fan-club compilation ''[[Excellent Stocking Stuffer]]''.

Deciding that he was tired of the typical verse-chorus-verse structure of songwriting, [[Rivers Cuomo]] instead decided to write a song using the musical structure of theme and variations, as used in classical music, utilizing different bands and musician styles (Slipknot, Jeff Buckley, Aerosmith, etc.) as the different variations.
