Barenaked Ladies: “Brian Wilson”

So I’m lying here, just staring at the ceiling tiles
And I’m thinking about what to think about
Just listening and relistening to Smiley Smile
And I’m wondering if this is some kind of creative drought
Because I am
Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I’m lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did

Look at me, sticking to a theme.

Actually my favorite part of the song is the reference to Dr. (Eugene) Landy, a psychiatrist who pocketed $35 grand of Brian Wilson’s money every month in exchange for treating his mental issues.  Dude.  I’m no doctor, but when your client refuses to speak with anyone but a plate of carrots, I’m pretty sure your “treatment” isn’t working.
