Legend has it that when the Magic Band was first formed, they lived together in a very seedy rental in LA for months and did nothing more than practice during that time. Zappa was alleged to have a great influence on the band at that time as well.
This song is about The Captain trying to clean this crap hole up one day, accidentally disturbing a spider's nest and trying to deal with the resulting baby spiders now scattered everywhere. Hence the line, "Still too many feet"
One can feel his frustration over the mess he caused. This was a time of great stress for The Magic Band. They were forced to steal food from local stores just to survive. Thank goodness they did. You have got to love The Captain.
RIP Don, we miss you.
