In this quirky tune, The Flaming Lips celebrate individuality and unconventional ways of doing things. Each verse presents a character who does something in an unorthodox way - using Vaseline instead of butter, magazines instead of tissues, and tangerines to dye hair. These peculiar habits serve as metaphors for personal idiosyncrasies that make us unique. The song encourages listeners to embrace their quirks and not conform to societal norms or expectations. It's a celebration of eccentricity, suggesting that there's no 'right' way to live one's life, as long as it brings joy and doesn't harm others.
