From Kurt Wagner's interview in "Insurgent Country": This song plays with the idea of a legacy left behind. Nixon, as I recall, was a bit preoccupied with the notion of "legacy" as well. My friend Vic used to wear these gold slippers that he eventually wore out. He once asked me to keep a "look out" for another pair, so I tried to make him a pair of musical shoes. I somehow wanted to write a song that came from the point of view of the stereo talking directly to you, not the artist playing on it but the actual machine itself.
