This song is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I saw it live for the first time last weekend. He says on the Radio City dvd that it was inspired by when he went to Africa with his wife and kids and they visitied a tribe that I cannot pronounce very well. He talks about this in the "So Damn Lucky" documentary on the dvd. He explains that the songs they were singing we based on times before there were even words...which is probably where the ee hee-ing comes from. Actually on the documentary it shows him practicing the song and he didn't actually know the name of the song but thats what it says on the sheet music so I guess it stuck. He says he thinks the people of this tribe are actually "the most advanced people on the planet." I love dave.
