| Oh and in response to Kad, which I forgot to post: I'm certain it is a sexual invitation, but one of submission. You know SM had to like S and M :) | |

| I always thought I heard "She is the queen of a passin' Pasadena thrill" somewhere in there. Of course there are two different vocals at the same time so I could be mixing the two. It sounds like a bittersweet ode to beauty queens, parades, and pageants. Namely the Rose parade, obviously. | |

| The way I heard it was the song sprang from a conversation S M had with Jennifer Herrera from Royal Trux about feminine hygiene. Or her lack thereof. | |

| I believe this song refers to the rose bowl in pasadena california. involved in the rose bowl is parade (with rose covered floats) and a rose queen chosen. i'm told SM is a pretty big fan of sports | |

| She is the queen of the castle California, thrill I always thought that it was just Pasadena, not california. THe cancelled thing would make sense going along with the rose bowl thing but so would castle. | |
