John Darnielle’s commentary on “Commandante” in This Year: 365 Songs Annotated.

[solomon-revisited]

"There is a tradition, from the earliest folk musics, of songs in which the speaker boasts of his talents, or his successes, or his sexual prowess. There is a tradition in Mountain Goats songs of boasting about having, e.g. "a storage locker full of cow figurines." This song is as firmly inside that tradition as you can get."

-- JD in 'This Year: 365 songs annotated', 2025.
