some SNFU song I saw on iTunes. Here are the lyrics. Anyone know more about this song?

He seemed shy and so confused
Now that he's older, he's last year's news
She is looking for somebody fresh and young
She is looking for someone less miserable

She's looking for somebody better
Much better than Eddie Vedder

His pictures used to line her locker
But they don't hang there any longer
She has gone, and she has burned them all
Eddie comes crashing down from her bathroom wall

Now she's looking for somebody cuter
Someone more fun who rides a scooter
Eddie hides his face under a jokeshop mask
Eddie, you missed the grade, you failed the test

She's looking for somebody better
Much better than Eddie Vedder

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC
"My Baby's In Love With Eddie Vedder"

Oh, my baby, my baby she don't want me no more
Ever since she saw his poster in that record store
She says the way he grinds his molars is really sexy
She thinks he's so darn dysfunctional and "Generation X"y
She likes his brooding angst and his wild-eyed stare
Yeah, he's her very favorite slacker multi-millionaire

Well, my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder
She's all crazy 'bout that Eddie Vedder
Once she was mine, but now I better just forget her
'Cause my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder

Now, every time I see him, well, he looks so grim
I guess it really must suck to be a rock star like him
What a pain in the butt to have so much success
Spending all his time moping and avoiding the press
But my girl can't get enough of his sullen demeanor
Like he's some big tortured genious and I'm some kinda wiener

Well, my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder
She's got a thing for that Eddie Vedder
Tell me, what can he do that I can't do better
Now my baby's in love with
I said I said I said my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder
Head over heels for that Eddie Vedder
I cant believe it, now she's knitting him a sweater
'Cause my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder

I knew we were headin' for disaster
When she caught me hangin' out at the Ticketmaster
Now she's got an unrequited adoratioon
For the frustrated, agitated, designated alienated
Spokesman for the disaffected grunge generation

Well, I don't wear Doc MArtens and I don't wear flannel
And I don't boycott the music video channel
And I just can't compete with all that money and fame
But I know two can play at this game
Yeah, well, let's just see how jealous she'll get
When I start stalking Alanis Morissette

Well, mny baby's in love with Eddie Vedder
She's all crazy 'bout that Eddie Vedder
Once she was mine but now I better just forget her
'Cause my baby's in love with
I said I said I said my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder
Why'd she have to fall for that Eddie Vedder
If she wants to leave me, I guess I better let her
'Cause my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder

yeah those lyrics are pretty heinous. i mean if they were really bad but it ended up being funny fine. but this sounds like 'hey i'm drunk on a plane, i guess i'll write a song'

the song is supposed to be tongue in cheek humour...not a dig on eddie. its more of an attack on pop cultures ability to jump the bandwagon to whatever trend is big at the time...also the album that this came from kicks ass..wooo SNFU!!

*Edit- at least thats what i always got out of this song...maybe he just hates eddie
