The song was based on an actual delivery of a TV by two workers. One newbie and one grumpy old f*ck. They didn't realize they were delivering to an actual rock star. He listened from the other room and the old guy bitched about MTV and called everybody a faggot, said they didn't work and got paid for nothing. The song pretty much wrote itself after that.
Somewhere there was a grumpy guy who never realized he made a rock star many millions more, and a young guy who thought the customer looked familiar.
