'''Haiku''' is a song by [[Rob Cantor]]. The song's lyrics are attempted to be in haiku format of poetry, which is categorized by it's syllabic structure of 5 / 7 / 5. Most of the verses fall one syllable over at 5 / 7 / 6. The line "Lah dah dee diddum / Lah dah dah dum doo diddle / Dum doo lah dee doh" is the only lyric in proper haiku format, as the writer struggles to write a haiku using actual words and resorts to gibberish out of frustration. | '''Haiku''' is a song by [[Rob Cantor]].

The auditory scene set by the track in the beginning is that they're playing in a small bar with a jerky audience, with some talking going on at the beginning. There is also the sound of presumably a music box playing a motif from Hidden in the Sand before it is silenced and the song begins. At one point, Paul Mansoor (known as the guy who cannonballs into the pool in Joe Hawley's movie "[[The Other Way]]") yells out "PLAY THE BANANA SONG!" and at another time, Henry Birdseye (great-grandson of Clarence Birdseye, inventor of frozen food) is taking a phone call and says in a low, muffled voice: "Hey, what's going on?" and "That depends on what kind of surfboard you wanna buy." then says he'll have to call back because the band starts to play. Joe is kind of the drunk guy that gets up on stage and starts singing without permission. He is booed off only to return later and sneak in the yelled line: "He wrote a haiku for you!" | The auditory scene set by the track in the beginning is that they're playing in a small bar with a jerky audience, with some talking going on at the beginning.

Tally Hall drummer [[Ross Federman]] revealed on an episode of [[Tree Town Sound]] that he borrowed, and brought a marimba to the recording of 'Marvin's' and they never used it on any recording, so, frustrated that the big cumbersome instrument he brought wasn't being used, he strongarmed the rest of the band into recording a marimba track at the end of Haiku.<ref>[[Tree Town Sound]].
