Trivia[]
- This is the closest thing so far to an original rap song by Weird Al, notwithstanding "Twister" (from Even Worse), a parody in the style of The Beastie Boys.
- The first thing Al complains about is how he got fat.
- In the animation, the lawyer uses Tom Morello's "Arm the Homeless" guitar with "Homeless" replaced by "Lawyers".
- The animation is made to match Rage Against the Machines' music videos.
- The end of the video shows the band driving in a car, and when seen from the front the trio looks like the Pep Boys.
- Al's license plate says I-SUE-U.
- The phone number on the Taco Bell flyer is 884-TACO (8226).
- Throughout most of the video, Al is wearing a Teletubbies necktie.
- This is the first song on Straight Outta Lynwood to make fun of Gigli, with Weird Al claiming he doesn't even need a reason to sue its lead actor, Ben Affleck.
- The Uncyclopedia page for Weird Al has a section which expands on the lyric "I sued Colorado, cause ya know, I think it looks a little bit too much like Wyoming!". It says, "In 2006, Weird Al sued the state of Colorado on the grounds that it looked too similar to the state of Wyoming. The case was carried on up to the Supreme Court and was widely publicized, giving Weird Al large amounts of public attention through the media. Widely believed to be an elaborate publicity stunt, the case was not taken seriously by the Supreme Court. Weird Al's only arguments against Colorado were that "It looks too much like Wyoming". Colorado's attorneys retaliated this statement by stating that Colorado was, in fact, established as a state before Wyoming, and therefore, Weird Al should be suing the state of Wyoming instead. By a narrow vote of seven to two, the Supreme Courtruled in favor of Colorado, which in turn put a restraining order on Mr. Yankovic. Mr. Yankovic retaliated by making all of his youtube videos private."
- The logo on Al's laptop is the Delete key.
