Stupid Mop

HailHailPearJam

Can someone refresh my memory on what was the story behind Stupid Mop. I listened to it today after about a year and a half haitus and it's a a very interesting tune to listen to. I remeber somewhat that the audio clips was from some documentery of something like that but that's it. Any one's help is appreciated. thanks.

It's shit. That's all you need to know.

I think its just the audio from a documentry on a mental hospital or something that one of the band members saw.

It is definitely shit. I just turn it off after Immortality, before I'm scarred for life. Again.

I really want to hear this one live.

Just joking. This song is so fucked up. The first time I heard it was while I was sleeping, and I woke to this track that just ruined the cd. Not really ruined, but..

I personally DON'T think its shit.. I love listening to it...Scared me the first time, but then i fell in love with it

As for what it was about:

"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." - Vedder
