  General Comment:A good friend of mine did a paper on this as part of his HSC (NSW, Aussie final assessment) and he did some hardcore investiagtion as to the meaning of the song. He managed to find a quote from Nick Oliveri stating the song was about dating younger women.

  General Comment:The last line is:
  
  "Next up, Michelle's my second date."
  
  That is why, when performed live, they once introduced the song by saying "This song is called Ode to Clarissa... it's about Michelle."

  General Comment:One of my friends pointed out to me that this song reminds him of that old Nicalodean (yes I know I butchered that word) show, "Clarissa Tells All". I vaguely remember this but I think it may actually be based on that show, wasn't there that next door neighbor kid that always climbed up to her window ("So to your window I creep")?
