The two have been longtime friends since a mix-up of their bands on MTV. Partly due to the unfortunate deaths of David Reilly from GLU and Mike Mahaffey from Self, Matt and Jeff were able to shift their attention away from their other bands. Their first album, Break Out The Battle Tapes, came out on September 12, 2006.

Wired All Wrong has been described as functioning similar to God Lives Underwater, Turzo's former band, in the sense that the two founding members, Turzo and Mahaffey, write, record and produce all the music then perform it live alongside a full band. Their on-stage presence is that of an over-the-top, garage-band-esque, heavy metal sound accented by Mahaffey's light-hearted stage antics.

Wired All Wrong Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on up and kiss me, come on up and kiss me
(sweet little cinnamon, little cinnamon)
Come on up and kiss me and tell me that you miss me
(sweet little cinnamon, little cinnamon) it's plain as day

I can see it in your face, your eyes, your lies
They scream, "This isn't who I am"
Lemme guess, you're the best actress the world has ever seen

Wasn't that your plan?
The things you do for money, my rentable honey
If it's all the same, here's your 15 minutes of fame
Here's your 15 minutes of fame

Come on propo-sish me, come on up and kiss me
I just want to get fresh and friendly
Don't give a fuck who you with, don't give a fuck if you nasty
Just come on climb in with me and do what you did last week
What more can I say
I can see it in your face, your eyes, your lies
They scream, "This isn't who I am"
I'll attest, you're the last big breasts the world will ever need
But you don't give a damn
The things you do for money, my rentable honey
If it's all the same, here's your 15 minutes of fame
(The things you do) Here's your 15 minutes of fame
(The things you do for money)

Little cinnamon's a little menacing
Little cinnamon's a little menacing
Little cinnamon's a little menacing
She's a little menacing, baby, what more can I say

I can see it in your face, your eyes, your lies
They scream, "This isn't who I am"
Lemme guess, you're the best actress the world has ever seen
Wasn't that your plan?
The things you do for money, my rentable honey
If it's all the same, here's your 15 minutes of fame
(The things you do for money)
Here's your 15 minutes of fame

(The things you do for money)
Here's your 15 minutes of fame

Overall Meaning

The song "15 Minutes" by Wired All Wrong explores the themes of fame, money, and superficiality in modern society. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of someone who sees through the façade of a woman who is willing to do anything for a few minutes of fame, including selling her body and her integrity. The repeated line "sweet little cinnamon" almost seems to mock the woman's attempts at being cutesy and flirtatious in order to gain attention.

The verses of the song are filled with sarcasm and biting observations about the woman's actions, calling her out for being a calculating and manipulative actress. However, the chorus acknowledges that she has achieved her goal of fame, if only temporarily. The use of the phrase "rentable honey" emphasizes the commodification of her body and the transactional nature of her actions.

Overall, "15 Minutes" is a commentary on the price that some people are willing to pay for fame and the emptiness that often comes with it. The lyrics are both critical and empathetic, recognizing the desperation that drives individuals to seek attention and validation in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving.
