I Love You Verne Troyer

Pop Food

**I Love You Verne Troyer** (commonly shortened as **ILYVT** by fans) is the third track on Jack Stauber's third album Pop Food, released on March 25th, 2017. This is based off and is a tribute to actor and comedian Verne Troyer, who Jack Stauber was a fan of at the time. Verne was known for having cartilage-hair hypoplasia, making him one of the shortest men in the world being only two feet and eight inches tall. Verne unfortunately passed away on April 21st, 2018.

## Lyrics

[Spoken]

"And, I don't know if you ever get used to it though

Because he's funny, and I mean...

And you never what he's gonna do-"

[Verse 1]

Ooh!

Never seeing eye to eye

Harmony destroyer

I believe in dreams tonight

I love you, Verne Troyer

[Chorus 1]

But if I don’t cry

If I don't cry

I’ll be at peace tonight

I'll be at peace tonight

[Verse 2]

Time to get you nice and high

Strap you in your Moonshoes

Wish on a genie, ha ha ha

I want wishes too, ha

[Chorus 2]

And why should I

And why should I

Apologize?

Apologize?

[Break]

Ooh!

Ha ha, ha, ha ha ha

Ha ha, ha, ha ha ha

[Verse 1]

Never seeing eye to eye

Harmony destroyer

I believe in dreams tonight

I love you, Verne Troyer

[Chorus 1]

But if I don’t cry

If I don't cry

I’ll be at peace tonight

I'll be at peace tonight

[Verse 2]

Time to get you nice and high

Strap you in your Moonshoes

Wish on a genie, ha ha ha

I want wishes too, ha

[Chorus 2]

And why should I

And why should I

Apologise?

Apologize?
## Notes

I Love You Verne Troyer has been well noted for its fast paced nature and upbeat tone which would transition into calmer and mellow interludes. However, the song is best remembered for its relations to Verne Troyer, which has notably made the song a lot more sadder and heartbreaking following Verne's death in 2018, especially with Verne discovering Jack's music and promoting him prior to his death.

## Trivia

* The dialogue heard at the beginning of the song comes from an interview of Verne with the Addicted to TV channel for The Love Guru in 2008, which can be heard at 2:23.
* As stated above, Verne Troyer would discover Jack Stauber and the song and become a fan of his music. Famously on April 6th, 2018, Jack would post a photo on social media of Verne Troyer holding a signed Pop Food CD with a signature that read "Jack You Complete ME! - Verne J Troyer".
	+ Jack's caption of the photo on Twitter read "I love you, @VerneTroyer", a reference to the song.
	+ Jack's caption of the photo on Instagram notably read "the one I love (feel better soon)". This was likely posted in response and respect to Verne Troyer after his hospitalization two days prior due to alcohol poisoning.
* As stated above, on April 21st, 2018, Verne Troyer unfortunately passed away from suicide via alcohol poisoning. Because of so, Jack would quickly make and post a portrait of Verne on Plopscotch and Twitter as a tribute to Verne. The captions read "rest in peace, buddy".
* The visual for I Love You Verne Troyer in the Pop Food release promo consists of a man dancing to the song over a blue background before cutting to duplicates of the man floating around and surrounding an eyeball worshiping it.
	+ On April 11th, 2017, Jack uploaded a GIF of the dancing CGI man seen in the trailer onto Tumblr.
* The still from the I Love You Verne Troyer visual was notably used as the thumbnail for the release promo.
* I Love You Verne Troyer has the longest song title on the Pop Food album.
* It is often theorized by fans that the song was originally inspired by Jack formerly making fun of Verne when he was younger, with his views of Verne eventually changing into respect over the years.
	+ The lyrics "Never seeing eye to eye" could likely be Jack not originally understanding Verne for who he is, though it could be a play on Verne's short height.
	+ The lyrics "Why should I apologize?" could likely be about Jack questioning himself and wanting to apologize to Verne after making fun of him.
