Strongly anti-US Foreign policy and anti-Bush, the song was written in 2002 at a time when, following the Apolo Ohno Olympic controversy and an incident in which two Korean middle school students were killed by a U.S. Army vehicle, anti-American sentiment in Korea reached high levels.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR20170303174200005|title=미국 전문가가 본 15년 전 한국의 반미 열풍|publisher=Yonhap News Agency|date=2017-03-04|access-date=2021-10-04|archive-date=2021-10-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211004171256/https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR20170303174200005|url-status=live}}</ref>
In 2012, the US band Neung Phak covered the song on their album ''Neung Phak 2''.

Bush taunting Koreans, while chants of "부시악" ("Bushi Ak" or "Bush Evil") echo in the background. It displays a slideshow of Korean political cartoons attacking U.S. foreign policy, ending abruptly on the line "Yankee Go Home!", with an animation of the Statue of Liberty exploding.
The video has developed a minor cult status in the West, where it has been shown on comedy shows such as ''Tarrant on TV'' and Web Junk 20. {{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}
