You're probably right but I thought the song was about generalization, sort of like the first post. "always the numbers but never the name" people using statistics to make assumptions when they could mean absolutely nothing to an individual. Kind of far out, but maybe he became famous for making statistics. Then this "siren" tries to teach him "with her hand to guide you". And all the old showstoppers, maybe refers to jokes about stereotypes. Maybe I'm crazy. Good song though.
