Your Only Friends Are Make Believe is the fifth and final single off Bloodhound Gang's 1996 (re-released in 1998) album, One Fierce Beer Coaster. There is some dispute as to whether the song "Boom" was a single, which would have made that the sixth and final single. The song makes numerous references to Mr. Rogers and his postman, Mr. McFeelie.
[edit] Music Video
The music video shows various members of the band doing odd things in a field, all around Jimmy Pop, who seems oblivious to the strange activities going on around him. Among the oddities are DJ Q-Ball dressed like Satan, doing a little dance routine behind Jimmy Pop, previous drummer Spanky G cheerleading, John Taylor of Duran Duran playing rock-paper-scissors with himself, and guitarist Lüpüs Thünder in a dress.
