Trivia[edit]
- "Mr. Superstar" was a working title for the song.
- The song's opening riff is also used in the introduction of "Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World."
- The lyrics "I wish you'd kill yourself on T.V" could be a reference to the televised suicide of R. Budd Dwyer, Pennsylvania treasurer, in 1987.
