| Is the line "And she liquifies the living to feed to the dead " about the Matrix or is it ANOTHER reference to Soylent Green? I like to think that latter as it would probably set the world record for references to Soylent Green by a single band. But I have never seen the movie and I don't know if they actually liquify the dead. |

| I think thats more a succubus-reference. Since succubi are from "hell" or the "underworld" where the dead go, I think she's just stealing the life from the narrator, and well, feeding it to the dead. |

| Succubi usually suck out a man's soul through his dangly parts if I'm not mistaken. |

| Well, I understood the context. Maybe I am just looking too much into the wordplay. |

Have anyone of the band ever explained why they chose the name Kukuxumusu¿? Because it was very surprising for me the first I saw it in their album. Kukuxumusu is probably the most famous t-shirt design brand in Spain (well, they make more things apart from t-shirts). I will post a photo of my kukuxumusu briefcase... jajaja!
I think Kukusumusu means in basque "flea kiss" or something like that... _________________ ▀▀▀█ ▀▀▀█ |

| As I understand it, Dick saw a K. store while in Spain and wanted to call a song that. |
