Unidentified agents arrest people off the street or from their homes, move them to prisons hundreds of miles away w/out notifying family members, and hold them w/out charge in violation of habeas corpus. Let’s call it what it is. This is Nazi-like behaviour.

That's where I heard the execrable "Kokomo" for the first time. There are some things you can't forget.

And John revealed in one of his last interviews that the group is singing "tit-tit-tit" in the bridge to "Girl". Pretty sophomoric! But amusing.
