With the Dan, one never knows for sure - should've qualified my response.

I've just been fascinated by their lyrics for a long time, and I've seen the condom/Fez interpretation as the main one for a bunch of years. It seems to be pretty well accepted among the die-hards - but as another line says in a couple of their other songs, "I could be wrong."
