Song on,
Eminem 2004 studio album

Michael Jackson, who was being accused of child molestation at the time. The song also pokes fun at Beavis/
Cornholio,
MC Hammer, Madonna, and others. It also heavily spoofs
Pee-wee Herman, going as far as imitating his signature shout during the chorus and Eminem dressing like him in the video. The song reached number one in the
UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and number six in the United States.

Em Calls Paul (Skit). The matter was also mentioned in a song from The Anger Management Tour 3 Mixtape entitled Get Off My Nuts.
At the beginning of the song there is a lyrical excerpt from Eminem's
2002 single
Without Me about how Shady's back. The line Snap back to reality. Look! It's B. Rabbit and You signed me up to battle refers to
Lose Yourself and Eminem's character in the movie
8 Mile. In the second verse of the song there is a line So fellas, fellas... is a reference to
Sir Mix-A-Lot's song Baby Got Back. In the chorus of the song where he says Girl you know you're my world is from the chorus of his song
Superman from his hit album
The Eminem Show.
