Background


According to Adam Jones, it is confirmed to be about hypocrisy and is a double entendre that refers to both drug intoxication and believing oneself to be above others, deriving from the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black".

According to The Rock Radio, a music video was filmed during the holiday season in 2006;[2] however, it never surfaced.
