The lyric "With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue you get nothin' done" from the chorus appeared on the inner sleeve of Guns N' Roses' debut album "Appetite for Destruction", released in 1987 (the song had already been written by then). This "tradition" was followed by the line "Ain't It Fun" on the "Use Your Illusion" albums released in 1991 - two years later GN'R cover of the song "Ain't It Fun" appeared on ""The Spaghetti Incident?"" album. The end of first verse, "we've seen that movie too", is a reference to Elton John' song "I've Seen That Movie Too", from the album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". Slash states that the song's writing began at the first preproduction session for "Appetite for Destruction".
