Content

The line "Freaky deaky, star speckles and pink butterflies", sung by Shifty Shellshock, is sung in a similar manner to that of his band's previous single, "Butterfly". The song also samples "Everybody's Talkin'" by Harry Nilsson, which is a cover version of the original by Fred Neil, hence why Neil received a songwriter credit for "Starry Eyed Surprise".
