DeRosa, Ruda, and Seefried were previously in a group known as Gods Child; and had released a handful of LPs under that moniker. In 1995, Gods Child had a national hit single, "Everybody's #1", which topped the Billboard Magazine "Modern Rock" and "Album Rock" categories simultaneously.

Seefried and Hamilton would go on to pen "Sleeping Pill" a song which was featured on a CD Sampler released by Album Network, a trade magazine. The song was credited to a band known as "The Amazing Adventures of Joe 90" — a pseudonym for the duo. The name was a send-up to the 1968 animated television series entitled Joe 90. However, their audience was not in on the joke, and repeatedly inquired about Joe 90. They eventually took on the name to avoid any further elaboration.

Joe 90 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take back the LA Weekly
Tell them it's wasted on the floor
Take back the bad advice
Tell them it's all been said before

When I was wrong
and now I'm bored
and she said that

she don't like it no more

Take back last week's Recycler
Tell them to leave it at the door
Baby tees and plastic shades
I feel higher than the heels I wore before

When I was wrong
and now I'm bored
and she said that
she don't like it no more

(How do you feel?)
It feels like something
(Feeling bad or better?)
It feels like something
(How do you feel?)

She said that she don't like it no more
She said that she won't get blurred no more
