Apparently, Demon Cleaner is a song about... brushing your teeth. hahahah
Garcia: Nobody knows that "Demon Cleaner" is about brushing your teeth. I didn't write that song; Josh wrote it, and it meant something totally different to me. But when it goes, "You get the back ones..." he's talking about brushing your teeth.
Homme: I have a tooth obsession. I've had everything done to my teeth that you could have done. I used to dream about teeth all the time-I've had nightmares about them since I was a kid, like horrible night terrors. I even went the doctor about it, and that's why I hate going to sleep even to this day. I still always have nightmares. So I'd have this recurring dream where I'm getting my teeth pulled out and then I'd flash forward and I'd be in a giant mouth with these teeth bleeding everywhere. And I'd be cleaning these giant teeth while the blood was coming down and I'd be drowning in a sea of toothbrush foam and blood. So "Demon Cleaner" was this metaphor for, you know, you gotta keep yourself clean, you gotta keep yourself tight.
Just Google a sentence out of the quote he has and you should find the forum that has it (I'm trying to avoid putting a URL here). For instance, I Googled "I have a tooth obsession. I've had everything done to my teeth" and it got me the source. It's from a magazine article in 1993 that some dude transcribed and scanned for a web forum in October 2008. It's all about the making of Return to Sky Valley. Very interesting read!

Hahahaha. Another falls victim to Josh's ridiculous sense of humour, giving answers just to keep the information starved media satisfied. He's still doing this today.

Personally I think the song is about these religious evangelists (read: cult leaders) on TV that claim they have the power to heal. But who knows? Maybe it really is about teeth. I seriously doubt it.

The tooth thing could really be a metaphor for all things like fears and obsession.

Well this could explain the album cover for the 3's & 7's single.
