Love the puns!
The intro reminded me of Ry Cooder. The vocal sounds 'separate' from the backing. I'd bring it down in the mix a lot - I know the words are most important so the vocal therefore needs to be clearly heard, but I think you could still bring it way down and get a 'same room' feel to the vocal and the mix. 'Cos the backing is good, especially the guitar licks when they come in.
