When I was finishing up “Bag of Raisins” I found that I still had a lot of random ideas that I’d been unable to work into that song, and I quickly put together yet another “Kitchen Sink” set of lyrics, this time with a more cohesive topic, that of the family visit to a friend’s home.
I’m not sure if it’s the narrator who is hallucinating or if the family is as insane as they are being described. The momentary melodic lift from a classic 1950’s hit was deliberate, so much so that I inserted a line of lyric from the same song, at one point. This one was also recorded in 2001.
