==Background==
Wheatus formed in late 1998 after vocalist/guitarist Brendan Brown left the skate-pop band Mr. Jones to write his own material.〔Behrman 2000, p. 26〕 Brown brought in his younger brother, Peter, to play drums〔 and Rich Leigey to play bass.〔 Peter enjoyed the songs Brendan had written.〔 Multi-instrumentalist and engineer Phil A. Jimenez wanted to work with Brown after hearing "Teenage Dirtbag".〔 The following week, Jimenez was at band rehearsal, appreciating every song.〔 The energy "of the pop elements" in addition to "the story-telling and the social commentary" made Jimenez feel like he "really wanted to be a part of (band )."〔
