Background
editThe song's inspiration was drawn from a Looney Tunes short titled Three Little Bops.[1] The song was originally conceived by Frank Iero who wrote a riff he thought his dad might've liked.[2][3]
Reception
editAwsten Knight of the band Waterparks stated that as soon as he he heard it, he "metaphorically and physically" pooped his pants.[4] Mackenzie Templeton of Alternative Press ranked the song number ten on the album, stating that the song "shows how the Patient is attempting to accept the fact that he's doomed to hell and is now attempting several religious ideas to try to escape an eternity spent there, with a ragtime-inspired beat that offers the listener a distinct experience."[5] Tom Sheppard of Kerrang ranked the song number six on the album, stating the song proved that the band could still go large when it came to playing fast and loose.[6] Ariana Bacle of Entertainment Weekly ranked it number eight in her ranking of the album.[7] Marianne Eloise of Louder ranked the song number 18 in the band's discography, stating the song "plays an important role in the mythology of The Black Parade as the protagonist The Patient arrives in hell after a naughty life."[8] Sam Law of Kerrang ranked the song number 14 in his ranking of the 20 best My Chemical Romance songs, stating the song was proof the band could "cut loose while still sounding like the biggest band in the world."[9]
