Ginsberg was an influence on this song- several other lines in this song could be applied to the Beat generation in general or Ginsberg specifically, though overall, it comes off as more of a teenager's interpretation of Ginsberg.
It also made me totally unable to read Howl without getting the tune stuck in my head, as I discovered last semester >.< I ended up humming this thing for weeks. I'm pretty sure that parts of my term paper have the same rhythm and syntax because of it.
