From NBC news: “This spring two different broods of cicadas — the 13-yr cycle and the 17-yr cycle — will emerge at the same time from underground. Last time this synchonization was in 1803 — when Thomas Jefferson was president.” So time’s up, buddy. Do you do or do you don’t?
Meat Loaf and his son did a television commercial playing on this song, with the son singing in effect “Dad, if you buy me this product, I’ll love you till the end of time.” Apparently the sponsor didn’t remember the ensuing bit: “So now I’m waiting for the end of time to hurry up and arrive.”

Loose Parts had some Beatles lyrics. Rubes referenced The Byrds. What’s in that pipe that they’re smoking?
