  • "Degenerate" is a song written by Tom DeLonge, and was first released, in a slightly different form, in the 1993 release of Buddha. It describes an alcoholic who keeps getting taken to prison for his actions where he receives the consequences from his prison-mate "Ben Dover".
  • The song "Dick Lips" is based on the real-life event of singer Tom Delonge being expelled from high school for going to a basketball game drunk.
  • The song Dammit concerns a fictional breakup between the writer and his girlfriend, and was supposedly written in five minutes, on a broken guitar. The music video for the single (released in 1997) was directed by Darren Doane, and features an appearance by Rick DeVoe, Blink-182's manager.
  • Some songs on the album are followed by comedy spoken word pieces.
