Obviously the song is a parody of Eagle's Hotel California '77 hit romantic stupidity. Laether version is an another proof of a fun.

	Hey! I'm only fourteen Sickly 'n' thin Tried all of my life Just to grow me a chin
Why? To look like Sylvester Stalone?
From: David F Lynch <dflync01@homer.louisville.edu> I've always took "chin" as a synonym for "beard", but I could be wrong.

	It popped out once But my dad pushed it in Why did he hurt me? He's my next of kin... He's a mex-i-kin
From: ulrich@sfu.ca (Charles Ulrich) An imaginative spelling of "Mexican". Don't know what it means, other than sounding like "next of kin" and possibly being intended as an insult by a bigoted 14-year-old.
From: Bill Lantz <lantz@primenet.com> A Mexican (from Mexico). Keneally said in an old Society Pages that the riff to this song came from an obscure old 45 R&B single that Frank had. Not sure what the Mexican connection is.

	I'm lonely 'n' green Too small for my shirt If Simmons was here I could feature my hurt
From: ulrich@sfu.ca (Charles Ulrich) I think that either Jeff coined the phrase "feature one's hurt" or else FZ coined it in reference to Jeff. Perhaps someone else can fill in the details.
From: Bill Lantz <lantz@primenet.com> Jeff used that saying ("Feature my hurt") alot I guess.
