I've always interpreted this song about a speaker suffering from depression after the loss of someone close (either through death or a break up). Just going around daily triggers these emotional responses that they have to bottle up until they find a moment of calm. Often these emotions are so complex that words can't express the feelings aptly, so the speaker just has to take a deep breath and really get in tune with themself.

The journalism/slang sense of “scoop” (an exclusive or sensational story) dates back to the late 19th century in American newspapers and became especially common during the newspaper wars of the 1890s to early 1900s. So to everyone saying the title makes no sense, it actually does. “Scoop” was very much in use when this song came out.

That’s why “Supa Scoopa and the Mighty Scoop” can be read in (at least) two ways:

“Supa” and “Mighty” both mean BIG, so it could refer to a big drama or a massive story. "Supa and the Mighty" sounds like the names...

  • “Supa” and “Mighty” both mean BIG, so it could refer to a big drama or a massive story.
  • "Supa and the Mighty" sounds like the names of comic book superheroes (a playful contrast with how heavy and emotional the actual song is) This soft and hard contrast is also reflected in the vocal delivery of the first minute of the song. John Garcia constantly switches between a rough, aggressive to soft delivery on lines like: Don't try to take me away is sung rough and Like I can't live without you is sang tenderly. same with today ay makin' love tomorrow and so way ay swooping, you're so fragile die today ay you disgrace the mortal constantly sung rough in what I marked in bold and tender in italic
  • Now for the song itself, Kyuss deliberately left it ambiguous. Here are the strongest interpretations:

  • A toxic relationship followed by heartbreak (someone treated the relationship like a spectacle, then walked away. The long repeating “DUN-DUN ting” silence at the end feels like a looping “final curtain” an obsessive echo of loss).
  • The real-life “scoop” / falling out between Brant Bjork and Josh Homme that led to Brant leaving the band.
  • The death of a close one: unfair goodbye, mortal disgrace, and being left home alone in grief. The long instrumental fade = the silence after loss.
  • Coming down from drugs: the fragility of the high, forced laughter afterward, and the obsessive fading echoes.
  • None of those 4 interpretations or meanings are wrong per se (the artist intentionally left it vague enough that all 4 could really work), and that's art. When I look at a painting, I can see something else, and you can see something else. I love that. I'm sure this ambiguity is the intended meaning, tho.
