The song is about the relationship between a father and a child. According to Eddy Raven, he wrote it in 1973 after his son said that he wanted to help his father write a song about Mickey Mouse or Big Bird;[4] both characters are referenced in the song ("We'd all live in a quiet house/Without Big Bird or Mickey Mouse...").
