“The song's chord structure was inspired by bassist Robert DeLeo's love of ragtime music”

You would never guess what song this is referring to.

Although less the chord structure than the rhythm

If it's the chords I guess maybe Plush because it has that ragtimey turnaround in the intro?

there is a lovely JRM homage album by Dave Burrell from 1990 called Jelly Roll Joys which I always go back to.

Don't think it ever jumped the shark, it just turned into jazz.
