Since its release, the song has become infamous for its suggestive lyrics, which are thinly veiled references to oral sex. Ed the Sock, a MuchMusic denizen, castigated the song as a "sugar-coated fellatio fest".[3]
In 2013, Ryan and Dan Kowarsky finally admitted that the song was about oral sex.[4]
Music video
The music video begins with a young boy walking and seeing a homeless man on the street, who asks for money. The boy has no money and continues walking until he stumbles upon a View-Master stereoscope left in the garbage. After looking through the lens of the stereoscope, he gains popularity and wealth as b4-4 dance and sing. At the end, he gives the stereoscope to the homeless man.[citation needed]
The song and its music video was mocked by Ed the Sock in his Fromage 2000 MuchMusic special.[citation needed]
