I read an interview with Mike Patton where he said that the song has no meaning whatsoever. But I can't find it anywhere, so no way am I adding it to the article... talk about unsourced! -- DocSigma 14:33, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I think I found what you're referring to. According to fnm.com, Mike Patton said the following:

I think that too many people think too much about my lyrics. I am more a person who works with the sound of a word than with its meaning. Often I just choose the words because of the rhythm not because of the meaning.

There's no other reference to this quote on the web, but I think we can trust fnm.com as being a reliable source on this particular subject. --DrLeebot 00:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Hahaha, but that would be quite a good answer! Maybe there's a Google Video or YouTube somewhere with that interview. I think I probably can find some relevant text, but it would most likely not be Mike's own words. Still, no subject / no meaning seems to lead to best stuff about life, remarkbly Seinfeld. --Caue (T | C) 00:44, Thursday 2006-07-27 (UTC)
_{I think it should be said that at the end of this song there is a piano solo that was originaly done by Midnight Oil, in the song Tin Legs and Tim Mines!}--24.15.31.42 03:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Angela Taylor 10 Jul 2007, 22:45

"It's It" is an ice cream novelty made in Burlingame, California, south of San Francisco. Under torture these guys will admit that's where they got the idea. Here's a shot of the building, which tens of thousands of people - including some rock musicians - drive by every day: http://www.itsiticecream.com/location.cfm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.40.19.30 (talk) 06:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone else think the voice that says "What...is...it?!" at one point in the song sounds just like Zorak? Mike R (talk) 15:36, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
