I loved that song. The music video was cool too. Is that the only song of theirs that made it at all?
On Ben Folds Live, Folds explained: "People ask me what this song's about... I was asked about it a lot, and I didn't really wanna make a big hairy deal out of it, because I just wanted the song to speak for itself. But the song is about when I was in high school, me and my girlfriend had to get an abortion, and it was a very sad thing. And, I didn't really want to write this song from any kind of political standpoint, or make a statement. I just wanted to reflect what it feels like. So, anyone who's gone through that before, then you'll know what the song's about."
Well, Damn, I was 12 when it came out and never knew what it was about. Goes to show that you learn something new every day.

I haven't listened to it in a long time. For some reason, I want to say I thought it was about the guy's girlfriend getting an abortion...

He gave an interview on MTV when this song was popular about how his girlfriend had an abortion.
