The Song:
In order for Song Reader to feel more authentic, Beck filled out its artwork with fragments of songs, melodies, fictional album collections and made-up song titles. The back of "Saint Dude" lists 5 albums, and "The Yodeling Hobo" is included on The Manly Family Song Album.
It is listed as part of a trilogy: "The Lonely Hobo," "The Yodeling Hobo," and "The Twelve-Toed Hobo."
A lot of the song titles refer to older songs/sheet music, and indeed, "The Lonely Hobo" was an old Gene Autry country song. Autry shows up a lot in these Song Reader references.
