Brock also doesn't like to be interviewed because everyone asks him what the songs are about. He said they mean different things to different people, so even if what you said, studson, was the truth, let pttc have their version.
Personally, I've always agreed that this song was about arrogant, hypocritical people and I thought that the "big show" was just referring to life in general. It's not a big conclusion, but it seems to fit with many of the other tracks and MM likes to tie songs and albums together. (A perfect example is the whole "You'll never die and you'll never grow old" line which is used on a few songs.) Anyway, Go Modest Mouse, woo!
