!!! You're both right to a point - it is rock nonsense, but then again that was the point of Vision Thing surely? A great big strutting cod-piece wearing rock-god.
And although the lyrics don't have the serious content of other VT songs, to accuse them of being straightforward or stupid is a bit harsh
For me it's a very cleverly worded guns-blazing attack on a group of people - very AE.
Like someone pointed out, the "head/hair" line is brilliant, and all the other references are great - it's clever stuff - fair enough, there's only one interpretation (hippies are stupid, but attractive female hippies will at least sleep with you), but it serves it's purpose well.
And Bruhns solo is cool as well.
I think they should do it live.
Right, I'll duck now against the likely barrage of comeback remarks

with you there kid! It'd be a laff.
Funny how this one song stirs up so much aggro. When you've got someone who will happily stroll on stage with 'love god' written on his arm it's not that out of place is it?
I always wanted them to do 'Help Yourself' until Steve Coogan in his Latino persona got there first
