Floyd the Barber Lyrics

This song is about how a seemingly perfect town has it's dark secrets(acording to "Come as You Are") just like Arberdeen, Kurt's hometown.

I'm not sure this is exactly what the song is about, but it's an interesting analysis/interpretation.

The song subverts and corrupts Andy Griffith's fictional town of Mayberry as an analogy to "a seemingly perfect town (that) has its dark secrets."

That "perfect town" could be Aberdeen (although it was a run-down, derelict, blue-collar town that was far from seeming perfect), but it's more likely to be a town like the fictional Twin Peaks or any picket-fenced, 50's conceived, American small town.
