This song always makes me think of the Final Fantasy games. It would make a GREAT Chocobo tune because it sounds SO cute to me. Of course, this is coming from a girl who is obsessed with Tool and Final Fantasy o_O"

This is actually the music from the song "Jimmy" played on in a cheesy rollerskate-rink organ style.

This song is Maynard at his peak. The story behind this song is he was playing Super Nintento while high on cough syrup (DXM), and decided it would be a funny song for his album. Of course, as with every Tool song, there is a much deeper meaning. This song outlines every inch of human emotions. It is a perfect example of the anger, joy, and pain that humans go through throughout their daily lives. Anyone who cannot see this is a subhuman.

Erm, elderlymachanic, you're completely mental if you think a word less song is about death. I wouldn't call a lot of word-less songs death. Whenever I listen to music off the sonic series from the megadrive, I don't scream 'AAAH! DEATH' and run out of my house. And organs are played at weddings too- think about that.

This song has no deeper meaning. It's obviously just a joke song played half way between the cd as an intermission- exactly as you would find at a stage performance or sometimes during some older films. They would play cheesy music on par with this halfway through the whatever with the words 'INTERMISSION' on a screen in the case of films. It allowed you to go have a piss or go get a drink while not missing the film.
Infact, the Offspring also have an 'Intermission' song which they played halfway through their live set last time they were here.
So that's all it is, a cheesy organ version of Jimmy's intro riff put in for a bit of fun. It's great too, I find myself obsessivly listening to it.

No way, Crok, you have it all wrong. This song depicts that cruelty that real "intermissions" force onto their audience (victims).

It would only make sense for this song to be a complete joke. Maynard himself said in some interview (forgot when it was) that he and his band are a bunch of Monty Python fans (he was trying to make another point). In "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" they threw in a completely random, short intermission for no point whatsoever, and Tool did the same. ;P

Waar I gotta agree with you :)

But I believe it was Atari and not Super Nintendo since Maynard is about back to the basics, and Super Nintendo is the result of the media's involvement in the game industry.

Don't try and give this song a deep meaning. It is, like elderlymechanic says, jackin' off music... ie a joke, not commentry on death or whatever.

Whatever it means, it gives me the chills for some reason. Like half the songs on this album are nothing but wordless tracks, So they have to mean something.

this is not the music to super nintendo or anything else, this is the music to jimmy played cartoon style, if u listen to it and then let jimmy play, u will see its the same music.

you guys are looking too much into this one. I think this track is just a funny and clever way to lead into jimmy. it sounds like carnival music...that is awesome. Who else but Tool would put carnival music in the middle of an album. Anyway, that's just what i think.
