This is a satiric song, about an Al Bundy-ish Big Man of the Schoolyard and his fate long after high school’s over for he and his age-peers. The big fella’s jeered at as someone who needs to stay stuck in the past because he has nothing to look forward to in the future, except for beer and gadgets as a consolation prize. It opens up with a mawkish pseudo-psychedelic hook, but some genuine psychedelic riffs (with jazz overtones) are used in the middle’s instrumental part. The overall melody is faux-celebratory, with a punch line that explains the reason for this “High-School Hero”’s fate.
