Satchel, the guitarist for glam gods Steel Panther, is featured in a new interview with Greg Prato at Songfacts discussing the band's new album All You Can Eat, the band's image, Kramer guitars, and songwriting. An excerpt is available below:

Satchel: "'Community Property', you know what inspired that song? I was at the gym working out like I always do - that's why I look so good. Most gyms play really shitty pop music. They put it on the Top 40 station or whatever. And there was a pop music love song on that had really, really trite lyrics about being in love with somebody. It was really cheesy. I thought, 'Gosh, that would be really bitchen to write a song that had all of those super-trite lyrics, but then right at the end of it, you throw that hook in, and that turns it all around.' That's when I came up with the idea for 'Community Property'."

Most of that chorus is just like all the other pop bullshit out there: 'Heart belongs to you, my love is pure and true, my heart belongs to you.' I swear to you, that's very much like what I was listening to the radio. But then I thought, If I could throw that extra line in there, 'But my cock is community property,' there you go. That changes it all. Changes the whole meaning." 

"I wrote it in my head and then I went home. For me, it's all about the idea of the song. The actual hook can come later. It's all about, What do I want to try to get across with the words? And so that idea of that, that really trite, fun, stupid lyric, like, "My heart belongs to you, my love is pure and true. But my cock is community property," that's what brings it all together and makes it bitchen. It turned that trite lyric into something super-meaningful."
"Nobody really believes it when you tell them that your heart belongs to them, but they totally believe you when you say you're going to cheat on them."
