The lyrics are about a teenager disobeying the orders of his parents. According to a Joe Elliott statement on the Rock of Ages and Best Of compilation albums, this song was an escapism since the band was working on the "White Lightning" song and felt like doing something to lighten the atmosphere. Thus, this song wound up being the last song written for the album, inspired by The Simpsons character Bart Simpson. According to Elliott, the song was written in 2 and a half days and recorded in 10 days.
The song was accompanied by a then state-of-the-art computer-animated music video directed by Steve Barron. The video consists of the band playing in a computer generated stadium on top of an LED lit stage in the shape of the flag of the United Kingdom, along with CGI animated scenes featuring a character named Flynn. Flynn is seen in various moments of a typical day of a teenager's life.
