Legend of Sleepy Hollow?

Is the entire song about the Legend of Sleepy Hollow? Like how The Lady And The Tiger is based on the short story? I only suspect this because Ichabod Crane is the protagonist of Legend of Sleep Hollow, and the song mentions Sleepy Hollow itself, but I've never read the story, so I wouldn't know. -- Jason DeLima - ! - 00:56, 6 December 2011 (EST)

It could be. However, the reference to Ichabod Crane could just be because, in the story, Ichabod does not win, so "Someday I'll win/I'm not Ichabod Crane" would make sense as that, too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.52.51.59 (talkcontribs) 20:28, December 8, 2011

Reply to You Probably Get That A Lot/Cephalophore

I think this was placed on track #2 as the other John's pre-reply to You Probably Get That A Lot.

"I'm not Ichabod Crane" - I've never met a headless person! I don't know what you're talking about! (Repeat over and over until it becomes true).

"Gonna get my head straight again" - My head is gonna get better!

"Full head of steam" - See I'm doing better already! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.185.32 (talkcontribs) 16:17, December 15, 2011

A relationship song, probably

It seems that this song is about how a guy did a bunch of stuff to get a girl's attention (one-night stands, classes: just to be your man; think of all the changes you put me through), and he's beginning to regret it and has gotten more than he bargained for (I just wanted my big toe... and now I'm neck deep). The references to Ichabod Crane fits in because, in Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod's main objective was to court and marry a girl, which he did not succeed in. The singer is contrasting this with his own situation, saying that "Someday I'll win- I'm not Ichabod Crane). This may be based on some real-life story, as "Bubble's of Teaneck" is pretty specific and I'm not sure how it fits in with the story. -- Ben Davidson
