I read somewhere that Sal Villanueva was the band's producer. Remember the intro to The Blue Channel and Great Romances Of The 20th Century? Compared to the demos, the album versions of these two songs are way different. Now, I read that this song was written because TBS was pissed that Sal (their producer) kept changing things around (i.e., Blue Channel's and Great Romances' intros) without their input. This is suggested in "sticking to what she [he] knows" and "you're down for selling me out". There was also apparently an instance in which John said they refuse to perform the song live because Sal got pissed off and had some harsh words to say about the song. I don't know, I just thought this theory was worth a share.
