The journalism/slang sense of “scoop” (an exclusive or sensational story) dates back to the late 19th century in American newspapers and became especially common during the newspaper wars of the 1890s to early 1900s. So to everyone saying the title makes no sense, it actually does. “Scoop” was very much in use when this song came out.

That’s why “Supa Scoopa and the Mighty Scoop” can be read in (at least) two ways:

“Supa” and “Mighty” both mean BIG, so it could refer to a big drama or a massive story. "Supa and the Mighty" sounds like the names...

Now for the song itself, Kyuss deliberately left it ambiguous. Here are the strongest interpretations:

None of those 4 interpretations or meanings are wrong per se (the artist intentionally left it vague enough that all 4 could really work), and that's art. When I look at a painting, I can see something else, and you can see something else. I love that. I'm sure this ambiguity is the intended meaning, tho.
I would have posted it on Genius, but they refuse to change the obvious lyrics of "And you know / I'm home / Alone / Always on his own" from what they have, which is "And you know / Your mom / Alone / Was so stoned" which is clearly not what he sang. Even though "stoned" could tie into one of the interpretations (as I listed in #4), he never outright said it in the lyrics. The mods flaming me for asking for it to be changed rubbed me the wrong way, so if you read this and agree with me, don't add the meaning on that terrible website please. I'm just posting here so more people see how wonderful this song is (if they don't know the meaning) I analyzed it from the soul because this song truly touched me deeply, which is how I know what they were trying to do. Have a nice life.

I think this is about a guy who travels and sees different people and different things, but i guess there's a girl who he unintentionally keeps on meeting who is in an abusive relationship with drugs involved. "I want to go where the action is, I wanna fly through the urban blight I wanna live like a shadow in the dark and only move at night" the guy is constantly looking for something happening whether it be good or bad. he is just constantly looking down a bad neighborhood, he only goes there at night though.

I think this is about a guy who travels and sees different people and different things, but i guess there's a girl who he unintentionally keeps on meeting who is in an abusive relationship with drugs involved.
"I want to go where the action is, I wanna fly through the urban blight
I wanna live like a shadow in the dark and only move at night" the guy is constantly looking for something happening whether it be good or bad. he is just constantly looking down a bad neighborhood, he only goes there at night though.
"How did she know the roof would cave in over and over again
Beat up bruised a record that's broken" theres always something happening to her that is just repeating like a broken record.
"Adina's crying again
Beat up chevy with a trailer in tow is what they call home now
One more hill or river to cross on the way to another town
Crying in her beer and always running away
Maybe not so much running, but hoping for better days"
The girls name is Adina and all she does is just cry about it and move on. She uses alcohol as a coping mechanism to feel better about her situation, yet she wont take charge to change something.
"21 years old and no money to read" she is too poor to do anything

I've always interpreted this song about a speaker suffering from depression after the loss of someone close (either through death or a break up). Just going around daily triggers these emotional responses that they have to bottle up until they find a moment of calm. Often these emotions are so complex that words can't express the feelings aptly, so the speaker just has to take a deep breath and really get in tune with themself.
