the song is named after one of Mike Bordin's (Faith No More) hotel aliases. Around '92-'93, FNM had some internal conflict with guitarist Jim Martin, ultimately kicking him out. And anyone who's been through a sour relationship with a bandmate, it almost tears the whole band apart, with picking sides and all that jazz. Since members of both Primus and FNM are friendly with each other and may be kept abreast of things like each others' internal band conflicts, maybe Les wrote this song about what was going on with FNM. Just a thought.
"Your team might move away" (band breaking up/moving on), "Let's cruise the bastard boat" (come hang with us, mike), "Have you heard the brand new sound" (FNM's ever-shifting style).
i can't believe no one's touched on this yet.
