A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"

This song is about a guy who is obsessed with a girl to the point where he sleeps on her porch. She doesn't return his affections, even telling him, "Why don't you just drop dead."

Sixteen Candles is a 1984 John Hughes movie starring Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall. Like this song, it contains themes of teenage drama and unrequited love. The band grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, where all of Hughes' films take place.

In addition to the movie, the title is a play on the Elvis song "A Little Less Conversation." "Touch Me" is a song by both Samantha Fox and "The Doors."
