For example, in the United Kingdom (UK Singles Chart), it managed to hit number 12. Though it failed to appear on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart due to poor sales in America, this song managed to get onto their Modern Rock chart and peaked at number two.ĭespite the song’s inability to reach the summit of most of the renowned music charts across the world, it performed quite well in countries such as Scotland, the Netherlands, and Canada. And he is making this assertion specifically in regards to staying by her side despite the two of them being heckled. And once again such circumstances to, even if he doesn’t respond to them as idealized, do not deter him being attached to the addressee. However the bridge is based on an encounter when the aforementioned homies indeed get violent. And to make a long story short, the implication is that in the face of this danger, the singer himself freezes, as in totally failing to respond.īut despite all of this, the permeating theme throughout is that he is committed to his relationship with the addressee. Thus a good deal of the lyrics are dedicated to convincing the addressee that despite such opposition, the singer is indeed committed to their friendship and even protecting her. And to illustrate this point, he states that he’s “just like Buddy Holly”, and she’s “Mary Tyler Moore”. One distinct characteristic about their friendship is that they are facing some sort of “violent” opposition, via “homies” who ‘dis his girl’. That is she appears to be a victim of harassment by some dudes, even right in the presence of the narrator. And apparently, one of the foundations of their taunts is picking on their relationship. And the actual storyline, once again, is based on the platonic relationship between the singer and the addressee.
