I think that is what makes the whole song actually, all the chaotic interactions between the characters in the story that itself is supposed to be chaotic. Gabriel was one of the very few who could pull off such a variety of character impersonations, and to my knowledge the only one who could do it so convincingly on the run. I think it's a damn fine picnic... picnic... picnic.
