This song was originally written to be a theme song for the TV show of the same name, which aired from 1991 to 2002 before being revamped as The Soup. The featured clips from the previous week's various talk shows being riffed on by the hosts. The "E!" at the end is Al name-dropping the show's network. The song was ultimately rejected as a theme.
