Pup Tent is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Luna. It was released on July 29, 1997.
Background
[edit]"Bobby Peru" is named after an eccentric, overtly creepy character played by Willem Dafoe in the David Lynch film Wild at Heart. Wareham read the phrase "Fuzzy Wuzzy" in a Don DeLillo book.[8] Wareham said that "The Creeps" isn't terribly good and probably should have been left off the album.[9]
