The misheard lyrics "pompitous" actualy came from the song "The Letter" by the Box Tops. Steve Miller was a really big fan of the lead singer or writer of the Box Tops, and there are other refrences in Steve Miller Band's music from the Box Tops. I believe the original lyric was puppetettes or something. But thats why Steve Miller is so cool, he can just make up his own words!
