yes, this song is mentioned in "i'll catch you" by the get up kids when they say "remember jinx remembering". also, in "song for a mix tape" by the Ataris, the second line says "there was jawbreaker and armchair martian, built to spill and the descendents..." meaning those bands are on the tape, and then again, he quotes this actual song.
it's a great song and i think its about how when you want someone, you don't think of all the things that can go wrong, but when they do go wrong, you'll do anything to make it right again. I think the person singing is trying all the silly superstitions and other things like that.
""Rabbit, rabbit," on the first.
I hold my breath.
Did tricks I hoped you wouldn't notice.
A superstitious hyperrealist.
I'll make you mine."
It's superstition to say "rabbit, rabbit" on the morning of the first day of the month for good luck.
And most superstitions involve holding your breath and making a wish. But he's doing these tricks and now wanting anyone to know he believes in them, so he tries not to let anyone know...even though he's desperate to make things as they once were.
that's just my opinion. feel free to correct me :-)
