    I heard it was about Stone Temple Pilots, but that could just have been a rumour.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Well, it was Stone's second attempt at singing lead vocals on a Pearl Jam song (Don't Gimme No Lip being the first).

    Seriously? Everytime I listen to that song, I always get the image of mouthwash in my head. I always thought I was alone.

    Bacchanalia and Bacchanal is the term used to describe drinking, dancing and general revelry. So even without a specific reference to the club it works in the lyric.

    Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead...overhead...”

    Ah... The age-old question. Why are we here? What IS the story behind Mankind?
    'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
