Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Breakout. By Songfacts®.

Dave Grohl: "Breakout started off almost as a joke, just a play on the word and taking the piss out of your typical tortured romance love story. It's supposed to seem kind of ridiculous because I can't imagine anyone wanting to break off a relationship just because they have acne."

This song was on the soundtrack of Me, Myself And Irene. Dave Grohl is good friends with Jim Carrey, who starred in the movie.

The music video takes place at a drive-in movie theater showing Me, Myself, And Irene and features 3'6" actor Tony Cox, who appeared in the film.
