Pup Tent is the fourth album by the American alternative rock band Luna, released in 1997.
Background
"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.[7] Wareham said that "The Creeps" isn't terribly good and probably should have been left off the album.[8]
