About the concept for this track, Needles said:
I like Andy Warhol as an idea; his obsession with fame. When I was writing about that [song] it was more about how I felt my career was slipping away, I’ve been here for so long, the Andy Warhol is dying.
[Verse 1]
We like everything the same
Fifteen minutes of fame
We don't see faces, we see mirrors
[Pre-chorus]
Fame is free, it even happened to me
Reality TV
Fame is free, it even happened to me, it even happened to me
[Chorus]
Andy Warhol is dead
No comment, no comment
Andy Warhol is dead
No comment, no comment
[Verse 2]
Look what happened to candy
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Look what happened to holly
Stars are cheap, stars are cheap, stars are cheap
[Chorus]
Andy Warhol is dead, no comment, no comment. Andy Warhol is dead, no comment, no comment.
"Andy, do you feel that the public has insulted your art?"
"Uh, no."
"Why not?"
"Uh, well I haven't thought about it."
"It doesn't bother you at all then?"
"Uh, no."
"Well, do you think they have shown a lack of appreciation for what pop art means?"
"Uh, no."
"Andy, do you think that pop art has sort of reached the point where it's becoming repetitious now?"
"Uh, yes."
[Chorus]
Andy Warhol is dead, no comment, no comment. Andy Warhol is dead, no comment, no comment.
“A canadian government spokesman said that your art could not be described as original sculpture. Would you agree with that?”
“Uh, yes.”
“Why do you agree?”
“Well, because it’s not original.”
