Pets is the name of the debut single by alternative rock band Porno for Pyros. The song became a #1 hit on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.[1] The song's success was aided, in part, by a unique video directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (they would later direct the critically acclaimed film Little Miss Sunshine) which received heavy rotation on MTV.

[edit] Meaning
The song deals with dissatisfaction with the human race ("Adults are even more fucked up") and how the humanity is on the brink of destruction ("My friend says we're like the dinosaurs only we are doing ourselves in much faster than they ever did"). The song then describes how maybe aliens, such as Martians, will be able to take over for us, and then states that we would make great pets to our overlords.
