There is a lot from the short story The Euphio Question by kurt Vonnegut in this song. Its about a guy who found radio frequencies from voids in space. He made a little gadget that played these frequencies, which caused happiness. It caused "Incomperable, continuous happiness-happiness by the kilowatt." Also when they were trying it out, someone said "What a great day to spend indoors," even though there was a storm outside. The inventor thought it was not right that you can just use this to get happy, and thought you should try and be happy by your actions. Dallas seems to like vonnegut as the title, in the water i am beautiful, is also taken from kurt vonnegut.
