it's quite impossible to break this great song down into anything remotely coherent so i wont try. reminds me a lot of some old syd barrett songs though, with those sudden melody changes. oh this is one of my favorite from them, so good...

this song definately qualifies for genius written in "gibberish". Its catchyness makes it one of my favorites by them though.

I think this song is really catchy, and maybe it does have a meaning, but don't ask me what it is 'cause I've no idea. but I kind of prefer it as "nonsense". I'ts more catchy.

I just love listening to this song. It makes me chuckle out loud at work every time. "shoot the apple off my head I need to go to the store to get some sleep. Because I've run out of sleep" I mean, WTF?
