For the bands second album, Hand Over Your Loved Ones, Shannon Harris (from Relish) joined on keyboards. Due to disagreements with the record label, mostly caused by Brendan Brown's wish to self-produce the album, the album received little promotion and did not sell well.
Michael Bellar (keyboards) then joined the band and they re-released their second album (containing two new songs) on their own record label, Montauk Mantis, this time named Suck Fony. In 2005 they released their third studio album, TooSoonMonsoon, once again on their own label.
In 2005, both Mike McCabe (bass) and Michael Bellar (keyboards) left and were replaced by Nicolas diPierro and Gerard Hoffman. Then the following year, diPierro and Pete Brown left and were replaced by Matt Milligan (bass) and Kevin Garcia (drums).
Current lineup:
Brendan Brown (vocals)
Matt Milligan (bass)
Gerald Hoffman (keyboards)
Kevin Garcia (drums)
Johanna Cranitch (backing vocals)
Georgia Haege (backing vocals)

Truffles
Wheatus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think yer such a rough neck;
Well I saw you outside eating truffles with yer mom on the patio;
I think it's really sad though;
And tell yer girl ta quit buggin' me;
'Cause I saw her outside suckin' dick
In the bathroom of the bus of the Iron Maiden cover band;
When your pencil neck breaks, when your bird chest caves in
I'm gonna win
When your pencil neck breaks, when your bird chest caves in
I'm gonna win
Me, I'm just another gringo,
A bitter jalepeno;
But I gets more montequilla
In a week than your bitch ass gets in a lifetime;
You're steppin' on a land mine;
Your gonna shoot yer eye out;
I'm thinkin' what in the Sam Ham Hill
Is goin' on wit yer moms in the clogs and the skirt,
Wouldn't fuck'er for my country with a flag on her face and a stolen dick.
[Chorus]
You, you think yer still a bad ass,
You think your still a rough neck;
Well let's take this outside
The lyrics to Wheatus's song Truffles seem to be a condescending jab at the person the singer is addressing. The first few lines set the tone of mockery by repeatedly calling the person a "bad ass" and a "rough neck", only to then paint a surreal image of said person eating truffles with their mother on a patio. The singer then proceeds to tell the person's partner to stop bothering them, as they witnessed them performing a sexual act on someone from an Iron Maiden cover band in a bathroom. The chorus then declares the singer's dominance over the person, emphasizing that they will win when their "pencil neck breaks" or their "bird chest caves in".
The second verse continues to mock the person, but this time contrasting them with the singer by stating that the singer is just a bitter jalapeno, but still manages to achieve more success and wealth than the person. The verse also takes a dig at the person's mother by questioning her attire and suggesting that the singer would never sleep with her if their country depended on it. The song ends with a threat to take the confrontation outside, indicating that the singer has had enough of the person's behavior.
