about this song
“Pulling Teeth” was written from the perspective of a man who is abused by his girlfriend, and how he can’t get out of his situation. The song has a very dark bit of humor to it, considering the subject matter. The inspiration for this song comes from when bassist Mike Dirnt was having a pillow fight with his then-girlfriend. Mike allegedly ran around a corner, hit his head, and landed on and broke both of his elbows.
