This song mentions Jimi H., Janis J., Jim M. and B. Jones, who of course are Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones. All of them are members of the so-called 27 Club: Edited by BaldFriede - October 21 2021 at 17:10 |

Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box
She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk" |

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |
