Just wondering if anyone knew what the song was all about?

It was from their album ‘Accelerate’ and every time I listen to it I get the impression it’s about something specific that I just haven’t heard of!

Or is it just a generally catchy little ditty with no greater meaning whatsoever?

Either way, I like it.

Stipe has said it is about Dick Cheney though strangely some fans thought it referred to Richard Perle who was the other architect of the Iraq war.

Thanks, I had a feeling it would be about something political. Bearing in mind Stipe's stance against the war, that seems logical.
