“Rabid Child” is rumored to be a parody of Red Sovine’s “Teddy Bear”, a tear-jerker country ballad about a crippled boy who talks on a CB radio to feel closer to his dead trucker dad.

Rabid Child Lyrics
(Lord, please don't take me away.)
Rabid child stays at home, talks on a CB
Truckers pass calling out their handles to the kid
Chess Piece Face and The Big Duluth call her every day
"Hammer down" and "rabbit ears" are the only words they know
(Hammer down)
(Hammer down, rabbit ears)
(Hammer down, rabbit ears)
(Hammer down, rabbit ears, hammer down)
If you pass the rabid child say "hammer down" for me
The rabid child
The rabid child
The rabid child
