This song is about the music of an era that they saw as meaningless. They just say it between the lines, as is hinted in the last part. One day I paid full attention to the whole song which I previously thought was a tribute to some great music then I realized it was a thumb of the nose to it with a clever disguise. So even though I love the music they're talking about, I still love this song and how clever it is.
@theprynce I agree. But I'm also wondering about the reference to "wailing" in the lyricss. I recall the Kingston Trio in the song "Greenback Dollar" singing "A wailing songand a good guitar, The only things that I understand." What is the definition of a "wailing song? Anybody know?
