The Song:
To make it feel even more authentic, Beck filled out his Song Reader book with fragments of songs and melodies, and even fictional album collections and made-up song titles. The back of "Heaven's Ladder" lists a collection of "songs from the afterlife" called Ye Midnight Stars.
Many of the song titles throughout Song Reader are references to older sheet music, but mostly the ones on Ye Midnight Stars are humorous phrases/puns involving death, heaven, gospel music, etc. That's what this one is.
