There's something I should tell you Before I take your blindfold off I've been twisted and turned By what I have learned I'm superdeformed But my blood is warm You know I'm superdeformed My blood is still warm But I'm superdeformed You know I'm superdeformed You can't say you weren't warned I'm superdeformed, now dig it Well, as soon as I was living They dropped me in an open grave And then as soon as I was dying They said I was too young to save Well I guess I'm superdeformed My blood is still warm But I'm superdeformed You know I'm superdeformed You can't say you weren't warned I'm superdeformed, now dig it So won't you love me tender? Oh come on, kiss me sweetly Oh won't you love me tender? Oh come on, kiss me...

Do you dare to reveal the superdeformed within yourself? - liner notes from "superdeformed" single --
"Superdeformed" is the final thing Sweet credits to the Japanese. It's the name of his production company, a song and his
band. It comes from a name on the sushi lunch box that Sweet owns.
"It's sorta like a little storage box that I carry around with me. There's a popular, kind-of-robot, animated thing called
Gundham in Japan and they do a version of it, called Superdeformed Gundham, that's like a weird, squashed-down, little
mutated version of the big robot. And I have this box, SD Gundham series, Superdeformed Gundham," he said.
During the making of Girlfriend (working title: Nothing Lasts), superdeformed became a catch-phrase. The musicians
used it to indicate how things were working out.
"If something were superdeformed, it was really great," he said. "And if we would question it, we'd be saying, 'Is it
superdeformed enough?' "
And often, the band has been billed as Matthew Sweet and Superdeformed.
Matthew Sweet is a DEFINITE anime fan, I have found out. He's got an anime girl tattooed on his arm, and then there's the video for the song "Girlfriend". It's mostly excerpts from an older anime.
