It's the little things that get you down; it's the bigger things that you can't get around; and it's way too flat on the middle ground -- but everything else is wide open...
The original title of this song was "The Little Things". I was informed by my band that there was at that time (94-95 ish) a song called "The Little Things" already on the radio, by some grunge band or other. That wasn't something that ever bothered me -- there are around ten thousand songs called "I Believe in You" for instance. In that situation I always figured, why not one more? But for some reason I started the song once on stage by saying "this song is called 'Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba'..." and then immediately launching into singing "Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba." It got a laugh so I kept doing it and it had got stuck as the song's title by the time it was recorded.
As for the song itself, I'd imagined it with a sort of 60s folk-pop-psych sound, at least on the chorus. Kind of a semi-ironic hippie vibe. But of course I didn't happen to have the capability to produce much of a 60s folk-pop-psych sound with a kind of semi-ironic hippie vibe so... it came out how it did, became part of history, and is still one my most popular songs. It's fun playing it this way too, though. (I've found the songs that lend themselves to being played like this also happen to be the most popular ones. Not sure if that's a coincidence, or if so what kind of coincidence it is.)
