Well, _Mopping, Mopping, Mopping_ is about a hurricane, just like that
_Small Rain_. 

A-and in _Helmet_ the protagonist wears a colander helmet because his
shiny metal headgear like astronauts wear makes him feel safe, sorta like
that Slothrop/Rocketman. 

And _Banana Love_ sounds like Pynchon's kinda song.
