Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me

Androgynous Mind

Can anyone shed some light on what the hell was going through the heads of Ament, Gossard, Irons, McCready, and Vedder when they wrote "Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me." Both the lyrics and music are insane. It is such a random song. Actually, I don't think it is much of a song at all.


Don't you want people to love you
My spanking that's the only thing I want so much
Spanking that's the only thing I want so much
That's the only thing I want so much
Don't you want people to love you
My spanking that's the only thing I want so much
That's the only thing I want so much
Why is that better than being hugged
Why is that better than being hugged
Because you get closer to the person
Closer to the person
Why is that better than being hugged
Because you get closer to the person
Closer to the person
Just like a person having sex feels cared for
We wanna be loved so we have sex together
And they feel loved about that
And this is the way it makes me feel loved
I want it I dream about it I think about it I want it
Just like a girl wants sex with a boy you know
It's the way I'll always be probably
My last one was born in the system
See they're stupid very stupid those people over there
They're stupid
These people are so below mentality honest to God really
You know what I mean he got the nerve to bug me (x2)
This mentality honest to God really
You know what I mean he got the nerve to bug me
Honest to God really
You know what I mean he got the nerve to bug me
Bug me bug me he got the nerve to bug me
Everything seems so eight ball (x2)
And I I don't know if that's my imagination but umm
Hey foxymophandlemama that's me
And I don't know if that's my imagination but umm
Hey foxymophandlemama that's me (x2)
Think they got me
Hey foxymophandlemama that's me hmm
Hey foxymophandlemama that's me
Know if that's my imagination but umm
Hey foxymophandlemama that's me
She prides herself on her cleaning habits (x2)
Hey foxymophandlemama that's me
She prides herself on her cleaning habits (x2)
It's a lovely stupid mop it is
There's something really screwey about no streaking
Is it any old dumb mop It streaks
Come on mop no streaking mop
I don't mind mop the floor my mop streaks I don't like it
It's not me it's the mop
Come I bought some new mops
Go away you stupid dumb old sponge mop
I don't believe it now the floor looks beautiful (x2)
I don't believe it old sponge mop
Dumb old sponge mop (x2)
Old sponge mop dumb old sponge mop
You're right this mop's stupid
Dumb old sponge mop
I don't believe it now the floor looks beautiful
That's why they call me mophandlemama
Now the floor looks beautiful
That's why they call me mophandlemama (x3)
In two weeks before she could see herself not dressed
The twenty-third of May you know she disturbed no one today
The manager told her to completely forget
If you ever go to bed I'll kill you
Do I tell the whole world that I'm mentally ill
Go to the papers yeah why not
Drum roll
I want to show them that I can walk on my own without hands of theirs
And I can still fantasize but I keep it to myself
Keep it to myself keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved don't you
Very much so
Think I deserve to be loved
Keep it to myself keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved don't you
To be loved don't you
But I keep it to myself
Keep it to myself keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved don't you
And I can still fantasize but I keep it to myself
Keep it to myselfkeep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved don't you
Very much so
Do you ever think that you would actually really kill yourself
Well if I have thought about it real uhh real deep
Yeas I believe I would
I have thought about it real uhh real deep
Yes I believe I would
And I can still fantasize but I keep it to myself
Keep it to myself keep it to myself
That I can walk without hands of theirs
And I can still fantasize but I keep it to myself
Keep it to myself keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved don't you
Very much so
Do you ever think that you actually would kill yourself
Well if I have thought about it real uhh real deep
Yeas I believe I would

according to a rumour the lyrics are chosen from conversations of people( in a hospital) who are mentally ill but i can't say anything exact about it's truth..

Following the whole Vitalogy book theme,isn't there something in that book about how spanking affects people?That's where I thought they got it from.

We watched a video in a high school psych class, this must've been early 95. It was a 20/20 or Dateline type of show. The spoken audio on the track is from that episode. There were a handful of us Pearl Jam fans running around telling each other what we saw.

I love hearing random Pearl Jam clips on television. I have heard ESPN use Do the Evolution and World Wide Suicide before in their productions

This song TOTALLY creeps me out! It reminds me of being stuck in a bad dream that I can't wake up from, but want to- that same eerie sensation... but at the SAME time, it reminds me of an "old timey" black & white t.v. show like "Leave It To Beaver" or something... like two kids just havin' a conversation about nothing important.

Pearl Jam and toast

It was kind of a botched attempt I think... I usually skip it but I still like it...

They tried something similar with "Push Me, Pull Me" with great success

yeah...but the song is like an installation within music, it's artistically interesting in some kind of random way. (...hm, what I really wanted to say?!...) Lyrics are wacky... first I thought that it's about a child who thinks that molestation is sth normal and okay so it made me ponder about it.
