Reception


The song quickly became popular in the video game Rock Band, as a bonus song.[3]

IGN also highlighted the song when mentioning each of the bonus songs in the game.[6]

Rate Your Music gave the album 3.12 stars.[7]

Spin magazine labeled the song as the 38th best fictional song of all time.

A stop-start groove and bouncing bass line better than any real turn-of-the-century modern-rock hit, fronted by the rare period frontman who never became overbearing in his verbosity. Don’t sleep on the backing Lords, though, who sum up goth-rock in one line better than the entire South Park episode on the subject.

— Andrew Unterbeger, The 50 Best Fictional Songs of All Time, [4]


The song shares copyright between Sony Music Entertainment and Comedy Central. However, it was published by Hilarity Music Inc.[8]
