That song comes from the 17th century tradition of dirty French madrigals. Or, at least, I'd like to think so.

I had weird dream a few nights ago in which I visited your house. Only it sat on a cliff high above the raging Pacific. Very beautiful... until the small earthquake happened, caused by the shockwave of giant visiting alien space ships that hovered over your back porch. Then it was a little scary. Still, it somehow made me nostalgic for California.
