Yes this song is about Mia (Bulimia) and Ana (Anorexia) but for those of us who have an eating disorder, it's a very thought provoking song and the end is quite powerful. Referring to some comment someone made about the dong meaning: You cant blame someone for pointing out what the song is about. I mean, then you'd have to blame the songwriter if anyone. And thats just stupid! No matter why you like it, it's a great song and his voice is just amazing.
This is the song that made me fall in love with Ted Leo's music. I found this song on a MP3 player that bought one day. Absolutely no idea who it got there but I AM SO FUCKING GLAD IT WAS! TED LEO IS THE FUCKING BEST INDIE ROCKER ALIVE!
I can remember the first time I figured out what this song meant, it blew me away. Every month or so I go through a ted leo listening spree, always me and mia on top
He has an amazing range, I saw him in concert and when he just talks normally he actually has a rly deep voice, even tho like all his songs have crazy high notes
@catzeyes919 well obviously it is, but why would you even say that to her? What good is there in telling someone who gets joy out of a song that he's actually refering to anorexia? It seems so pathetic that you would waste time commenting on youtube videos in order to destroy any happyness someone gets from a video.
@iluvff52death Maybe she can get a different sort of fulfillment out of the song now that she knows what its actually about. I know I always like songs more when I really understand them, no matter what draws me in to begin with.

His voice sounds absolutely perfect live. Not many artists can say that and it shows you who the really talented ones are.
