Album Notes & Community Reviews
Originally written before Dave Grohl joined the band, this track features a relentlessly heavy, stuttering bassline and massive, arena-sized drum fills. Kurt Cobain penned the lyrics as a direct, sarcastic attack on the casual, macho fans who began attending their shows but entirely missed the subversive messaging of the underground punk scene. The track's accompanying music video brilliantly parodied 1960s variety shows, underscoring the song's satirical intent.
