Defintly not the worst song on the album. I think it's irony, at a base level. Angry words, meaning exacly what they say, underscored with simple, love song piano. It's also good for a laugh, it's not to serous, which i think is an important message in the context if this album. The subject matter of the album is pretyt serious, and tool members have said before that it's important to laugh and not take everything to seriously. i think that's what this song does.

ps don't quote me on that, i can't recall any specific instanses(sp) of those words, i'll try and find some to back myself up....

I wasn't aware those were supposed to be eyes.

Corn dogs and porn

Carry on

You magnificent bastard.

Also, Message to Harry Manback is a counterattack at the most basic level. It's a "right back at ya!" to a dickhead who insulted Tool. Appropriate-enough intro to Hooker.
