Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this song about the boyfriend of a girl he liked. Billie Joe never met the guy.
In 1994, some bands still considered albums as cohesive units rather than a random selection of songs. "Chump," with a raucous ending that resolves into a fade-out, was built to flow into the opening strains of the next track, "Longview," which fades us, making a nice transition.
