Cover art for Inca Rag/Name Game lyrics by Fiery Furnaces, The

both/all of these/this songs/song are/is kind of throwaway silliness, but I say that in a positive positive way.

inca rag sounds like a fun tale. matt or whichever narrator is going to the dumpster and finds the mummy de none other than Pizarro. they go on an adventure... matt takes the mummy to Spain and we have a few looks at the cheesy hilarity that ensues. they finally get to Spain, where it seems to me Juan Carlos sees him and throws him into the dungeon bottomless pit. when a trial comes of Juan Carlos doing that to a Spanish hero, Carlos is just like, "...c'mon! mummy mummy mummmayyyyyyyyyyyy!" good times for everyone.

I tried figuring out Name Game for a while, but I think it's just FF playing around and seeing what a good proper noun can do to the tone and atmosphere of a song.

once again, I repeat, MUMMY MUMMY MUUMMMMAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Eleventy has got it right. In addition, juan Carlos is saying "mummy..." in the dock at the Hague, where the international war crimed trials are held.

Part two is a beautifully meaningless postmodern piece just about names, a perfect little song in itself.
