The Barons - "Some Kind of Fool"

The Barons blushed when the Baronesses from whose wombs they sprung first heard "Some Kind of Fool." Not because of the messiness of the beginning (a cacophony of skittering guitars, clanging cymbals, booming tom drums) - no, the Baronesses had long been accustomed to the Barons' untidiness, particularly as manifest in the carelessly strewn laundry that covered their bedrooms, neatened nightly by the titled matrons since the baby barons' births - but because of the dirtiness of the slow and syncopated guitar line that appears at the half-minute mark and, despite the urging of the prudish, simply won't quit. That and the obvious irony of the falsetto vocals that follow, which denote not emasculation, but its opposite. If I could ask the Barons one question, it would be this: When once, on a stage and under a spotlight, I said the words "Frau Reich had assuredly milked my balls clean," while my mother sat in audience, what, exactly, did I do?
