The Cult is the classic high school band. They were popular for about the same length of time it took to stand outside a cinema asking older people until someone bought you tickets for an R rated movie. I still have a soft spot for some of these songs, and their ambitious lyrics (baby, baby, baby, baby, baby i fell from the sky!) but never reach for them or feel much nostalgia if they cross my path.

If you're gonna claim that you fell from the sky, you need to preface that statement with at least three "babies". The fourth and fifth were simply to remove all doubt

i always thought five babies was a reference to the cult's initiation ceremony
