That's all. Please discuss.
Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.

    Matt Cameron - brilliant writer on the guitar as well. That main riff is so fun to play!

    Love the song. It sounds a lot better on original release than live in my opinion. Still one of the best tracks off of a great record.

    I :heart: me some Avacado! Thoroughly enjoyed this tune @ Pitts 13' as Ed said it was a request and he wished it would apply to Congress - lmao! Damn government shut down.
    Oh please let it rain today.

    Couldn't agree with you more. I think the latter half of the album is underrated.

    it's mainly the

    oh woah OH ohhhh
    oh woah OH ohhh

    in the choruses. shania has a song with that same vocal line and cadence ('man, i feel like a woman'). if you know the two songs, i don't know how you can't hear it. and since i don't prefer to hear shades of shania twain in my pearl jam, it doesn't make unemployable a favorite of mine.

    I've always heard the twain thing in there too. But it's still a killer song.

    It's a fantastic track that I've always enjoyed. "Thinkin if he can't sleep how will he ever dream?" is such an amazing line. Fun to hear live, too. And I've never heard Shania on it :lol:

    I love it. Great rocking tune that is way underrated. One of the top three tunes off of a very strong album.

    Yeah it is! :)

    S/T is such a great album overall. Gets better every time I spin it.
