GOD I love this song, my favourite line:
'I stole a page from your book
And a line from your page
And flew into a lesbian rage'
I always heard this line as 'take you to a lesbian rave' and thought it was cute, odd and slightly kinky, but lesbian RAGE is just as good.
I guess I've always thought this song (at least in part) is about the pretentiousness surrounding art, particularly that everybody is trying to be 'new/unique/different'. Referencing Duchamp, is not only funny, but expresses the complete irony of the artist preaching the death of art, to now be REVERED but practically WORSHIPED by the supposedly dead institution. This goes on with 'Inspired by queens', which seems to point to something 'deep', but with the 'So is mine now' it just reveals the falseness of this, how art is often just a competition, everyone either trying to be or imitating the 'new thing'.

Anyway, great GREAT song. Makes me want to dance!
