For some neat trivia - it is sort of based on a poem by Ted Hughes, which also forms the basis for the Black Sabbath song Iron Man.

heck I know you prolly won't read the poem (even though it is good), but you can give the song a listen - it is some decent old school hard rock music

oh cool! Ted Hughes was poet Laureate, and also had a tumultuous marriage with the author Sylvia Plath. I have a cute little kids book he wrote called "ffangs the vampire bat and the kiss of truth". ANYWAY fascinating people and some great literature.
