tps12, I signed up for an account here and everything, just for you.
To start off, there is no "Jethro" or "Mr. Tull", or at least there hasn't been in many hundreds of years. "Jethro Tull" is a band name, filed under "J" at your local music store, and Ian Anderson is the lead singer, song writer, and flute player (among other things).
The song Bungle in the Jungle was Ian's shot at big city life. "Bungle" is a made up word. The "Jungle" is, of course, the city itself. It is basically painting city life as a situation not much unlike the life of animals in the deep jungle, filled with the lazy yet deadly "tigers" and thier prey.
Although it would not surprise me that the "Christian right" would make up thier own connections, this is the first I've heard of this one.
@Tandek - The line, "By the way, which one's Pink?" come to mind, eh? Your comments are all valid, except the part about bungle being a "made up word." "Bungle" has been a recognized word in English usage from as early as the 1600s.
