The strange story told at the very end of this song was left on lead singer Maynard James Keenan's answering machine by his landlord. The credits on the album read: "phone message: bill the landlord."
The last song on Undertow, this comes up as track 69 on American copies of the CD - tracks 10-68 are just a second or two of nothing. Here's the breakdown of the song: Percussion/Animal sounds - 0:00 - 1:10 Preacher - 1:11 - 2:32 Disgustipated - 2:33 - 6:45 Crickets - 6:46 - 13:50 Phone message - 13:51 - 15:47
The term "Disgustipated" was first coined in a Popeye comic book in the 1930s and was used to express a combined feeling of disgust and exasperation with a situation involving Olive Oyl. Since the situation was obviously resolved by Popeye eating spinach, we can conclude that this song was intended to promote vegetarianism. Or, it could just be a cool song with a funny title.
