Background

The band's biography said, "'From Your Mouth’ is an excellent example of how GLU writes songs by deconstructing standard pop notions, then reconstructing them in their signature manner.” However, David Reilly said the subject matter was so personal that he refused to discuss it, and Jeff Turzo didn't like to explain specific meanings behind songs.[1]

Music video

Their 1998 single "From Your Mouth" peaked at #17 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, supported by an unusual music video directed by Roman Coppola, featuring champion hot-dog eater Hirofumi Nakajima removing vast quantities of food 'from his mouth'. The video footage is actually a single take played in reverse, which was achieved after five other takes.[2]
