Pulling Teeth is about Mike and his (ex) wife Anastasia. Back around the time of Kerplunk, they were at a friends house having a pillow fight. Mike ran around a corner and hit his head on a low ceiling beam. He fell backwards and broke both of his elbows. So now if you read the lyrics it all makes sense! The name Pulling Teeth was stolen from Metallica. They have a song called Anesthesia Pulling Teeth, and since the song was about Mike's girlfriend Anastasia ( pretty
close to anesthesia ) Billie named the song Pulling Teeth.
