	yeah the bass is rad. this is defiantely one of those cruising-down-the-freeway-on-a-saturday-night songs

	MrBigThought: I actually was thinking I could see someone like Beck writing this song. Zappa is even too unconventional for a song like this!

	i think this song is about self destruction and drug abuse

	I had the same thought pointed out by TheSidewalk in comparing this song to the Valley of Ashes in The Great Gatsby. To add, the Valley was overlooked by a billboard for an optometrist that was just a huge sign of eyes wearing glasses (very significant in the book). So, "I'm goin' to punch you in your glasses." fits conveniently.

	this song is ridiculous, if it has a meaning then i have not found it yet.

	this song has an incredibly addicting bass line.

	Some of you have touched on the meaning of this song, and I have just a little touch to add. The part about getting a phone call from the Lord about wearing a sweater pretty obviously says that the narrator is going to Hell (because it is frozen over). Also, I agree with the assumption that it is from a business man's perspective.

	I would compare to the Valley of Ashes in the book The Great Gatsby. It is a place of monotony and simplicity. Depressing. Bleak. Anyhow, it is undesirable and this song describes the world coming to a state like this. Hopelessness seems to be recurring, also. I love Modest Mouse.

	i always thought it was about cocaine for some reason. the line 'i can feel it rolling right on down -oh- right on down my throat'. yeah. i don't know.
