Cover art for Guest List lyrics by Eels

E is such an amazing artist because he never ever makes compromises in order to become more famous or get more money. However, allthough his music is whats most important to him, he might still secretly wish his music was world famous. It's about a scene where some guy is trying to get into a VIP area, but the bouncer stops him and has to use his walky talky to check his name is on the list, which it isn't. This song describes the contradiction of knowing the whole celebrity culture thing is stupid, but wishing he had his own walky talky that can reach someone even more important, and stop other people from getting in to his own world, just to show them what it's like, what it's like to feel like an eggshell that's about to crack!
