Potty language alert!!
The scene in Clerks II, where Jay puts on his Lypsyl contains a song by Q Lazarus entitled “Goodbye Horses”. According to some random commenter on Youtube:
“horses” are symbolic/representative of the 5 senses - the things that keep us tied to the physical/material plane of existence. When you can transcend the limitations of these senses and achieve a higher level of consciousness, you are leaving the “horses” behind - “flying over them.” The song is about someone who was so affected by (A loss? A breakup?) they decide to give up the things that keep them tied to this world by emotion.
When Jay retorts whether or not you would f*ck him, he’s referring to a scene in Silence of the Lambs, where the serial killer, Buffalo Bill acts out this sick bit of drama. The song has spawned at least one good parody of the scene, at least one decent re-hashing of the song, and a great mashup featuring Bettie Page. and another mashup with Booka Shade. Oh, and there’s another epic Goodbye Horses FAIL.

Sphere: Related ContentPsyche are an enduring legend of independent electronic pop music. From cold harsh industrial, through warm synthpop, dancefloor minimal, dark wave, and beyond. From “The Brain Collapses”, and “Unveiling The Secret” through to “Goodbye Horses”, “Sanctuary” and “15 Minutes”. It all started at the end of 1982 as brothers Darrin and Stephen Huss together with Dwayne Goettel performed for the first time in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada under the name PSYCHE. A combination of horror and electronics that in the area of Western Canada was completely unheard of and would continue to be quite shocking for some time. 1985 saw their debut album “Insomnia Theatre” unleashed worldwide through their own label and licensed to New Rose Records out of Paris, France.
