This is something of a acknowledgement of an homage to an homage both of and from the pixies...... Confused yet?
Bob mould is arguably the most influential alternative artist of all time his work is stamped all over REM, Meat puppets, Weezer Sonic Youth Dinosaur Jr and the bands they inspired such as Nirvana Live and so on and among his biggest fans were the pixies who took a lot of the musical styling of Husker DU and bob moulds work to make their own sound.
The pixies are AWESOME and their unhinged upbeat songs about murder sex and quirkiness are incredibly influential too.
So Bob mould wrote a song that's basically a pixies song.
its his way of acknowledging his influence on them and their using of what he did in husker Du but also paying tribute to one of the great bands of all time.
So if you are going to do a pixies style song you play like the pixies hence the "fun upbeat song about killing somebody possibly while on an trip" lyrics driving melodic bass and bizzare guitar half chords.
