"Cupid's Chokehold" by Gym Class Heroes has been on the Billboard chart for 6 months

The band's popular song, "Cupid's Chokehold/Breakfast in America," has been on the Billboard chart for six months now.

Frontman Travis McCoy told MTV News why he thinks the song has been so popular. "It was time for a song like that to come around, you know? A lot of people are banking on their sorrow and just bad experiences with females. I feel like there are some girls that are out there that are kind of cool and they deserve a song written about them, you know? So, it's a universal anthem for any girl out there who likes to play video games with their boyfriend and cook them breakfast and pancakes and all that."

Travis also clarified what influenced the song. "Just like any other adolescent male, I've been through a lot of weird relationships with girls and this song is basically... it's a little sarcastic, about the perfect girl who kind of doesn't exist, you know what I'm saying? But, I don't know, maybe she does, I just haven't been to Africa yet."
