The official video, directed by , was instrumental in defining the band’s visual identity.

Peter Steele wrote the entire song in his head while waiting in a three-hour line to dump 40 cubic yards of waste at a marine transfer station during his job with the NYC Parks Department.

The lyrics are a sarcastic ode to a former girlfriend—a "stereotypical goth girl" who was obsessed with her own image.

Mayhew drew inspiration from Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire , specifically the image of a vampire leaning from deep shadows into the light to create a sense of primal fear.

The song pay tribute to the classic horror and camp aesthetics that influenced the band.
