Johnson elaborated to the Herald Sun on how Moe inspired this song: « He was drinking a lot of soya milk at the time. I told him if he kept drinking too much, he would grow a tail with an eyeball at the end. He looked at me trying to make sure I was kidding. When he figured that out, he attached his elbow to his butt and pointed his finger around the room. He had made this tail with an eyeball. He pointed at me and said, ‘Dad, you look good.’ I thought that was a sweet thing to say. »
The inspired Johnson immediately began writing a song: « I made a song that said, ‘If I had an eyeball on the end of my tail, I’d tell you that you look good as I walked away’. I meant it literally, but once I thought about metaphors (Johnson’s friends were divorcing), it was a beautiful way to put it. I switched it around, made it less silly, but kept my son’s ideas. I need to give him a songwriting credit. »

My daughter is named "JJ". My wife thinks she's named for a great biblical river and an old family friend. Don't tell her "JJ" stands for Jack Johnson.

I know a lot of people prefer his older material, I don't like a lot of the new album either, but I love this song, more reminiscent of his previous up-beat songs...and it makes me smile so much :)

I can't say a bad word against Jack Johnson, all of his albums are just lovely my favourite I would say is In Between Dreams because it is the first one I bought but they are all amazing. Enjoy!

it's OK but not as good as his earlier stuff. He seems to be getting slower and slower. To be fair, this is the most up beat track on the album. He is very good live
