Vitalogy fillers

i was just wondering what you people think of the songs in vitalogy that many of us skip or don't really care about them. these would be pry to, aye davanita, stupid mop... and maybe bugs.

vitalogy is my favorite album and i love listening to the first 13 tracks, but for me the album ends with immortality. i've listened to foxymophandlemama many many times, it has a cool drum beat... but i don't really care about his spanking or she being pride of her cleaning habits.

    i like it :D

    Bugs and Hey Foxymophandlemama That Me are my favorites
    So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
    That is why I'm singing

    I know what you mean, I think the album ends at Immortality, it's a great closing song (so to speak.) But songs like Aye Davanita and Pry To.... don't skip em! Lol, I love em, they add to the more experimental feel to the album... Hey foxymop is just a little too 'out there' for me though!

    I totally agree! I think i've only ever listened to Hey Foxymop... fully once since i bought Vitalogy! I can't tolerate it!

    there all good, I personally only occasionally skip bugs, but pry, to and aye davanita both kind of connect the albu, and I personally think Hey foxymop........... is one of the best finishers ever, it's very wierd, but it is also just a sweet song.

    I incline to agree. While Pry To and Aye Davanita are good songs I just let the album end at Immortality. Stupid Mop is just way out there for me....I tried to listen to it and I tried to get into it, doesn't work for me, it's still good but it's really not a song...like a regular Pearl Jam song..but it's good

    i wouldn't at all consider these fillers... they were what pearl jam wanted us to hear at the time... granted there was the vitalogy length battle... and the origianl version had like 9 songs... then 11 then 13 then 11 and so on.... but it was the final track listing that pearl jam wanted

    i can't imagine corduroy without hearing pry to first... it's like a nice interlude to the song....

    and i totally think aye davanita totally stands alone, if not an intro before immortality....

    as for foxhandlemama.... it's not for everyone (but no pearl jam songs are) but i truly believe the more you listen to it... the more you'll appreciate it....

    you really have to put this album into perspective at the time... i like to look at this album as the kurt cobain suicide aftermath.... pearl jam responsibly put out this album... it dealth with death, life and living.. but it's conclusion is to stay alive... suicide is no way out... the mental inmate sound bytes on stupid mop confirm the point of the album... you'd have to be crazy to kill yourself...

    do you ever think that you actually would kill yourself?

    well, if i have thought about it real deep...
    yes, i believe i would...

    spoken like a true crazy person

    bugs is a song with nice lyrics... pry to is pretty cool, and aye davanita is a really catchy tune...
    the only filler i usually don't listen to is stupid mop.

    Bugs might just be the greatest song ever that directs attention to the very real distancing from reality that the vast majority participate in all the time... Covered in critters everyone of us is, and I believe that this song draws attention to the fact that a battle against nature, no matter how intensely fought is a guaranteed loss. WE ALL GOT BUGS!!! But it's ok... Ok as life and death, as ok as blood, truth, and innocence. No reason to run from the real...

    A little info for all of you off of an old thread :

    Credits by mookeywrench :
    "the interviews are clipping from a show that eddie
    saw many years ago about how the government quit funding on an
    insane asylum and now all those voices you hear are people who
    are actually loose on the streets due to the governments
    decision. The song is meant to freak you out and be in shock
    that they would actually let people like that loose"


    this is from theskyiscrape :

    1. "I had taped something off the tv when I was maybe 17 or
    something and I think it was people who had mental problems
    who were being let out of the hospitals early because the
    states were taking away funding for mental hospitals so they
    were setting these folks out without the necessary care but it
    was still very intriguing the way their mind worked and what
    they would say and we experimented and tried to incorporate it
    into what to date is our most emotional and moving song." -

    and vedhead011 said :
    "we watched this video my junior year of highschool.
    vitalogy had been out for a couple of years at this point, and
    when i heard the person on the video say "my spanking, it's
    the only thing i want so much" and all of the other stuff, i
    almost freaked out. don't know how to get a copy of this
    program though."



    i think all this info is very interesting ...

    later

    If you play pry to backwards on a record player, it says.."
    oh Pete Townshend how you saved my life."

    I love Stupid Mop. It's really scary when you're listening to it on the way home and it's dark and stuff, creepy...

    Don't listen to stupid mop, that kids voice is disturbing :p

    I don't mind the others but can't help thinking how Bugs made it onto a studio album and Sad didn't ~shrugs~

    Vitalogy is a great album though, I worship Corduroy and Nothingman. :)
