"Waffle" came off Home, Sevendust's second album, in 1999, and its goofy title has a better origin story than most: according to drummer Morgan Rose, Sharon Osbourne came up with it without realizing, on a phone call with him while the band were still writing the song.
There's nothing breakfast-table about the music. Clint Lowery and John Connolly grind out the guitars, Vinnie Hornsby and Rose lock bass and drums into a nu-metal stomp, and Lajon Witherspoon's voice rides over the top. Toby Wright produced it with the band and recorded it, and Andy Wallace takes the mix credit, but the single went out in a separate mix by Tom Lord-Alge, the one later picked for Best Of (Chapter One 1997–2004). It climbed to No. 23 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and No. 33 on Modern Rock Tracks.
