supposedly (i'm not to sure, here) this song is about mr. e, from eels, which tommy used to be a part of. the lyrics are definitely linked to the first track on "beautiful freak", the only eels album that tommy walter (of abandoned pools) was a part of. there are obvious references in "the remedy" to the song "novicain for the soul". tommy and e don't get along any more, as far as i know, and i believe that this song (in addition to others on the album) is tommy's response to e's "baby genius" on "electro-shock blues" [which is supposedly about tommy].
