Song was inspired by the est seminars of New Ager Werner Erhard from the 70s. Notorious aspect of them was that they would LAST about 8 HOURS and they wouldn't let you out of the auditorium for any reason at all. It was parodied in the movie SEMI-TOUGH. Plus BACKMASKING was probably used at the beginning of this song.
