I'm sure I heard once that it was supposed to reference the part in the Wizard of Oz books were (after the Tornado at the farmhouse )the house/chimney falls on the Wicked Witch of the East and kills her.
Surely the song featured the sample from The Jacksons Can you feel it?
Aye.
And the reference above to their other hit of 1998 - 'If You Buy This Record Your Life Will Be Better' - had a sample from Madonna's 'Material Girl' or at any rate copied a portion of it!
I always just thought that the writer was being odd! The line has lost its quirkiness now that I know, from reading this thread, that it was sampled from another song in which it makes more sense.

I love when it goes all slow and blurred together.

They re-released the original song recently - the reference is much clearer:
