True, Shoreline, they do get a lot of Eastern influence from this song. It does bring to mind however, a blend of the far east with a LOT of influence from Indonesian gamelan.
Bonhomme may be a reference to the "host" of the Quebec Winter Carnival (Carnaval de Québec); who is a large snowman wearing a red cap and an arrowed belt. The CBC is probably a reference to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation; Canada's public TV and radio broadcaster. Another possible interepretation goes along with the Eastern influence I mentioned... CBC is also a reference to a Canadian Born Chinese...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as BSS spawned from Canada, it seems to make sense that they would reference these figures in their song title.
