1* TheWalrusWasPaul:
2** Gabriel's descriptions of the song do little to increase its comprehensibility. His way of announcing it at concerts was telling a [[ShaggyDogStory tangentially-related story]] (involving earthworms) ending on the punchline ''Supper's Ready''. [[note]]The only thing the story had to do with the song is that, near the end of the story, Gabriel would start whistling the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_did_those_feet_in_ancient_time Jerusalem hymn]]; both the hymn and "Supper's Ready" have to do with the Book of Revelation.[[/note]]
3** "Gabble Ratchet" refers to the Hounds of Hell, who are depicted in the song as Geese because medieval christian art often did so.
