Remember the film Ransom (1994?), with Mel Gibson and Rene Russo?? Jimmy Shaker kidnapped their son, and when they got him back, threatened them with "Jimmy Shaker Day" - when he'd finally get the son for good. I don't know if this is the Jimmy Shaker (Day) in the song, but it could be a good fit... Anyone?

Sorry, it seems like it's about a someone committing suicide and they're doing their little tribute to him.
