Notes About This Song

"It was supposedly about a kid, Ned the Mumbler, who came into one of these small closed-up towns where they didn't allow rock 'n 'oll and so he wrote these songs. He was going to get the whole town singing and enjoying music." (Jim "Motorhead" Sherwood, cited in BARNES, Mike, "Captain Beefheart",Quartet Books, 2000, page 12.)
