It's a great song until you realize it's about masturbating.

Then it becomes an excellent song.

[TheRatSquid]

It's about trying hard to get rewards others are getting, about no matter how hard you try someone is getting what you want, you moron! IE, being a corporate slave!

[UnfadingEvilive]

back when MTV was not trash

[coeyeAnimation]

The top comment ruined the video.

[Frank Stein]

Art can be interpreted as the audience wants no matter what it was initially about it can be interpreted as killerkirbydude wants so pipe the fuck down.

[elaine allergy]

if i ever make a movie, I will get cake to make the WHOLE OST soundtrack for it. it just feels right

[zezmaldo]

I thought it was about chasing after a girl....

[Luke Davis]

I"m pretty sure It's just about racing.

calm your tits bro.

[LiquidSunshine1000]

I'm pretty sure he wasn't being serious

[Amanda Blount]

Most of you are retards, you know who you are. I mean really are you dumb, born under a rock even? There is nothing remotely even hinting towards any form of sex in this song. Clearly not many of you are sports fans.. "Going the distance"... ring any bells?? IT'S PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY. Do yourselves a favor. Read the fucking lyrics.

[bob ross]

I agree with ratsquid. I get nothing about masterbation from the lyrics. And not to toot my own horn, but I am a black belt in masterbation
