Despite early claims that the song would appear on the next Offspring album at the time (which would become Splinter),[3] it was never released on any of their albums, and only appears on their Greatest Hits compilation. However, an acoustic version was released on the Japanese edition of Splinter.
The song was also the final single featuring Ron Welty on drums.
Music video
The music video for the song was recorded in November 2001,[4] directed by David Meyers (who also directed the video for "Original Prankster"),[5] and debuted on MTV on December 8.[6] It is mostly a performance video of the band playing in front of a convenience store where various events relevant to the song's title take place.
At the start of the video a suspicious man steals items from the store. Suddenly the police start running towards the man and he panics, only for them to tackle another man, thus allowing the thief to escape. He then walks past two dogs – one big and one small. The small dog barks down the bigger one. During the instrumental bridge, singer Dexter Holland walks into the store and buys water before rejoining the band outside. After other events, the video ends with a group of nerds being teased by bullies. In keeping with the song's theme, they respond violently and are eventually left alone. The police turn up and tell both sides to settle down. The video soon after fades to black.
