Although you all have GREAT ideas, I believe you all may be over-thinking it a bit.
Listen to the musical cue. It imitates the "TWILIGHT ZONE" theme, and for good reason. These lyrics refer to an episode of the speculative fiction show (titled "The Bewitchin' Pool") where kids dive into a pool and come up somewhere else (a paradise for children whose parents don't love them...that's the awful surprise.)

(add'l note: "Bewitchin' Pool" was the last episode of TWILIGHT ZONE aired as a first-run show in June 1964) (fifth season).

Measterpool, someone should summons Tom Yaz to do that! That sort of thing is right up his alley. It also helps that he knows all of the B-52s
