Tom Waits meets Screaming Jay Hawkins via Ween?

I'd read about how dogs could sense/smell cancer and I thought of all the times a dog had been sniffing around me (as they are wont to do) I thought "wow, imagine if everytime they were sniffing at me it was because they were like 'buddy, what are you going to do about that tumour?'"
so from there (and with the music in place) the mental image came to me of some grizzled old man and his poor pooch who is doomed to be able to sniff out cancer wherever he goes.

TVH "Cancer Sniffing Dog"

the working title for this one was BSSM (not to be mistaken for BDSM) because yes it was heavily influenced by that brilliant album; the idea from the opening came from the Beatles' Hard Days Night; I've always enjoyed that jangly discordant chord that opens it.

Lyrically the song was about... well you'll know, if you've ever been in a relationship with someone who you find hilarious and who finds you hilarious... every so often you'll get those moments where you're having a great laugh together and suddenly, the laughter just stops... and it's business time.
