the sgt. peppers reference in the second verse refers to the dog-whistle included on the beatle's classic album 'sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band'. the whistle is of such a high frequency that it can't be heard by humans, only dogs. it makes them go a bit nuts apparently. in a song about poodles rocking out the connection is obvious. paul mccartney:
"We're sitting around the studio, and one of the engineers starts talking about wavelengths, wave forms and stuff, kilohertz," McCartney recalls. "I still don't understand these things - I'm completely nontechnical. And as for John, he couldn't even change a plug - he really couldn't, you know. The engineers would be explaining to us what all this stuff was. An ultrasonic sound wave - 'a low one, you can kill people with the low ones.' We were all saying, 'Wow, man. Hey, wow.' 'And the high ones,' he said, 'only dogs can hear it.' We said, 'We gotta have it on! There's going to be one dog and his owner, and I'd just love to be there when his ears prick up.'"
