Gym Class Heroes - As Cruel As School Children

"That is a real honor," McCoy says, "having a Grammy-winning artist on our album. I can't say enough about how much that meant to us."

With Gym Class Heroes, what you see isn't always what you get. Though the overall feel of the album is bright and breezy, McCoy's personal, playful lyrics can often be peeled back to reveal hidden layers of emotion and introspection, notably on songs such as the first single, "The Queen and I."

"It's a personal song," Travis says, "about girls who fancy alcoholic beverages, girls who like to have too much of a good time. I have weird underlying issues with females and alcohol. This song is kind of like closure, though you'd never get that vibe listening to the song. It's fun to do things like that, make music that's fun with a really poppy vibe, but when you listen to the lyrics, it's like, 'Holy shit, that dude just said…' If you're not paying attention, you think it's just another radio ditty that sticks in your head, but then when you really listen you see it's a whole lot more."
