This is such a good song!!
I have a theory connecting this song and another TMBG song "Music Jail pt. 1 & 2" https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859504839/
The jungle IS music jail and vice versa. It's all a big symbol for getting in over your head with the music industry. I think the singer is trying to get others to join his band, but at the time, he's kind of a mess. It's almost as if his life is.. a jungle. WOAH! He tries to convince them that music life is great and totally worth it, but they're kinda like weirded out by him. As they should be, comparing yourself to a bug is kind of weird. This music industry thing seems to be a common theme in TMBG songs (Cyclops Rock, Welcome To The Jungle).
