| "if you studied you floyd property youd now that pigs could fly" bauds said that this refers to southbound pachyderm... im pretty sure its a clear and straight u refrence to pink floyd. flying pigs is one of their trademarks. the song as a whole is probly referring to playing live. | |

| I get the impression that when he mentions an irregular heartbeat and stuff that he isn't thinking straight, and a bit flustered from the heat. That's why he doesn't give a fuck (e.g. what people want to hear live) as has been mentioned. However he also thinks about a lot of different aspects of his life and others' that he also refers to in other Primus songs' lyrics (past and future for this song written in '93 e.g. the line about Fats is almost identical to a line in 2003's My Friend Fats, 'pigs could fly' brings to mind my theory for Southbound Pachyderm, meth/tweek.) as well as their influences (e.g. Residents). Also the fact he never actually says 'fuck' draws attention to it, the only time he's meant to say it in the lyrics is at the end when the word has a different meaning to elsewhere in the song, possibly referring to how songs like Groundhog's Day are full of metaphors. So I think it refers to how they create music and gig setlists. Each verse refers to a different one of these meanings. | |

| The second verse refers to Jerry Garcia ("Jerry sits on high"), Pink Floyd, and the Residents, an awesome band that Primus has covered (and even performed with!) on occasion. | |

| He doesn't actually say "fuck" at the end. I don't really know the true meaning behind this song. | |
