Incorrect information

[edit]

This section is incorrect per Danny Elfman interview October 2022: "The lyric, "I hear the chauffeur coming to my door/Says there's room for maybe just one more," is a reference to "The Bus-Conductor," a short story by E. F. Benson about a hearse driver, first published in The Pall Mall Magazine in 1906. The story has been adapted several times and spawned an urban legend, with each version using the catchphrase, "Room for one more."

Elfman says this was not his inspiration during "The Story Behind the Song" podcast interview. {Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uFfFDvnf30 } 98.114.182.122 (talk) 18:29, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
