Two different versions of the song exist. One is the version that's on the album, while the other, mixed by Tom Lord-Alge, is the one used as the single. The only truly noticeable difference between the two versions is that the Tom Lord-Alge mix has a smoother drum track and a larger more clean sound with the guitars turned up louder in the mix and more reverb on the vocals. The Tom Lord-Alge mix is the one used on Best Of (Chapter One 1997–2004). "Waffle" peaked on the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock Tracks at number 23 and number 33, respectively.[2]

According to Morgan Rose, the song's title was unknowingly coined by Sharon Osbourne, during a phone call he had with her while the band was writing the song.[3]
