Hotsy Menshot from Green Jelly (a joke-metal band in which Maynard debuted as one of the Three Little Pigs explains:
“The voice on Message to Harry Manback is my old friend Francesco, (from Rome, Italy) who would come and live with me and my old roommate Jerry, off and on. I kicked him out after he stole some possessions from Jerry, and he called that night on the answering machine because he was afraid of me, and couldn’t threaten me to my face. He was 6’2” but only weighed 130 lbs and looked like Ichabod Crane from Sleepy Hollow. I could’ve broken him like a twig.
He called back again the next morning, and that message was finally heard on Message to Harry Manback II on Salival. Anway, everyone used to imitate it from my impression, even though they have never heard it.
Years later, I found the tape and played it for Maynard, who by this point, was my roommate. Next thing I knew, a few edits, some piano ... viola! ... “Harry Manback” is a joke name from the famous comedian, Bill Hicks (deceased)”

I like them both.
If you ignore the words to number II its like the peaceful aftermath of a violent storm (following Pushit). If you take only the musical feeling to heart its almost like a peaceful eulogy, the closing chapter before the character in Pushit can build a new life.
