"The name we came up with for the starlet was Peg. There’s no hidden meaning. We just wanted a dotted half note for that spot, and Peg was short enough to fit with the music," Fagan explained.

The click of the camera’s shutter changes the scene to some point in the future. Then the third and fourth lines imagine the starlet’s washed-up scenarios—appearing in a cheesy 3-D film. Or she’s in someone’s favorite foreign movie, a big come-down."
