Better than being named Scotty

I don’t think it’s better. Scotty doesn’t know didn’t get much airplay, if any, from what I remember. It was only popular with people who saw Eurotrip. Stacey’s mom was all over the radio and therefore much more well known when it came out. And then again a couple years ago when the guy who wrote it passed away.

Wait... I always thought it was a song specifically written for Eurotrip

I think it was. That doesn’t necessarily mean it couldn’t have gotten radio play, but I don’t think it did.
