In a 2004 interview, the band explained that the lyrics to "IM the Supervisor" are based on the band's attempts to call the reception desk in a German hotel for a taxi and Amit arguing with the receptionist in English. There was some sort of language barrier and she apparently could not understand his question "can I get a taxi number?" At a certain point a frustrated Amit asked for the supervisor. The response was, of course, "I'M the supervisor!!"The lyrics literally go "I'm the supervisor... can I get a taxi number?" in the first part of the song.
Speaking of, IM The Supervisor is the first album I would recommend to someone who's just starting out listening to Infected Mushroom. The tracklist provides a perfect fusion of what they did when they first started (Classical Mushroom, The Gathering... boring (to me) "purer" psytrance) and the wonky zany stuff on Vicious Delicious.
IM The Supervisor and Legend of the Black Shawarma tie as my two favorite albums, but there are of course gems in every other album that should be noted and mentioned, too, when making recommendations. (Bust a Move, Dancing with Kadafi, bombat, most of the stuff on B.P.Empire, and the like. Hit me up if you're genuinely curious and want a list of songs to start off listening to.)
