Music and structure
The song prominently features harsh guitar sounds with somewhat of an influence of industrial music coming through, and features scat vocals in the spots of the song where most traditional metal bands would have opted to implement a guitar solo.
Concept
"Big black cock! That's what I call a Jack and Coke. Those little glasses they serve in Europe and everything. That's what I named it, big black cock. And that's another song about me dealing with the pressures of this album and how I, you know, I'm trying to kill myself, but you know? Do I really want to kill myself? Things I'm just questioning myself. Most of this is self-structured." – Jonathan Davis
Live performance
The song was frequently performed live during Korn's Family Values tour in 1998. The last known performance of the song was on February 8, 1999 in Tokyo, Japan.
