Wilco unveiled a new song on "The Colbert Report" last night, aptly titled "Wilco the Song."
It's a catchy tune done in the traditional Wilco style. And like a lot of other songs that come from the brain of singer Jeff Tweedy, it's difficult to understand what this one is about.
Perhaps "Wilco the Song" is about drugs or television or rock 'n' roll, themes Tweedy has tackled in the past. Or maybe it's about the election. I really have no idea.
The song does contain one line that seemed to convince the show's host that it will be a No. 1 hit: "Colbert will love you, baby."
