This song uses the freaky 1963 Japanese horror movie Attack of the Mushroom People (Japanese title: Matango; based on pre-WW1 scifi & horror master William Hope Hodgson's short story "The Voice In the Night"; rebooted for American audiences as Gilligan's Island) as a metaphor for peer pressure to try some magic mushrooms. Not surprisingly, our hero succumbs, and meets a questionable fate!
