Also, the "balloon" bit refers to the Mantell UFO incident, where an Air National Guard P-51 pilot named Mantell was killed while pursuing an unidentified flying object in Kentucky (you can look it up on Wikipedia). One of the theories is that the Navy had released some skyhook weather balloons, which were secret at the time (1948), and which conformed to the description given of the UFO by different involved parties. But then some conspiracy theorists say that when Mantell's body was found, he had weird holes all over his body, or that other circumstances suggested an alien encounter.
I want to know what the "drag us through the double M" thing is all about. I'm sure it has something to do with being abducted.
Great song! It's the first Soul Coughing song I ever heard, and I was hooked right away.
