The title itself is a play on words, hinting at the band's humorous and quirky approach to music.
The album features a mix of instrumental tracks and vocal-driven songs, showcasing Caravan's versatility as musicians. Tracks like "The Show of Our Lives" and "Stuck in a Hole" display the band's intricate arrangements and catchy melodies, while "No Backstage Pass" and "The Dabsong Conshirtoe" highlight their improvisational skills and experimental tendencies.
