I've already commented on this - it was quite some time back...like, years ago. Where'd that comment go???
The National Midnight Star was a fictional newspaper from a Second City Television skit. You young whippersnappers will have to look up just what SCTV was on your own. Anyway, in the skit - the National Midnight Star was a tabloid paper (sort of like the Enquirer) and when they mention some bizarre, outlandish crazy story - a chorus of people in the office would chime in saying: "And it's true!". ...I dunno, maybe they have an old clip of the skit on yous-tubes er som'en.
Anyway, the song is obviously about 'information overload' - which was actually not all that easy to achieve back when it was released; at least, not when compared to today.
