Production

The song draws inspiration and includes a vocal sample from The Monkees' song "Zilch" provided by Peter Tork,[6]^{[better source needed]} which began by repeating the name "Mr. Bob Dobalina."[7] In a 2012 Rolling Stone article, Del said, "I just kind of conceptualized who Mr. Dobalina would be."[7]
