Pinback – Shag Lyrics 10 years ago
From Rob to the Pinback yahoo mailing list in Sept 2002:

"shag has nothing to do with killing babies. the chorus is actually a nod to russian filmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. for some reason i thought this would be obvious when i wrote it. what was i thinking? among the many other references in the song is one about the power team which is this hilarious group of wrestlers, bouncers, and weightlifters that do things like rip phone books in half and smash burning cinderblocks with thier heads for jesus. i even went to see them at a local church when they came to town a couple years ago. i got a power team bandanna. last time ill be in a church for awhile."
