The Story of Why "Hey, Foxymophandlemama, that's Me" was included on Vitalogy

Because it's awesome.

The End.

"Vitalogy" was basically Ed's album and the bands least collaborative effort (not knocking it at all just stating the facts). Songs like "Pry, to" and "Aye Davanita" are just cool groovy filler. "Bugs" and "Stupid Mop" are obviously Ed f*cking around in the studio after the rest of the band went home. The 2nd "Ramblings" from the 92' single has a similar feel to "Mop."

It goes to show that some people cannot handle anything even remotely experimental. It's kind of like how people still bitch that "Revolution 9 "ruins" the White Album, 40 years later.

WHt were they going for on this song? One of the most bizaare if not the most bizaare pearl jam song, along with Bugs and Aye Davanita. Though this song takes the cake.

What was the point of it? What mood were they trying to convey?

for the same reason The Beatles included Revolution #9

i don't think the original poster was bitching about the song, but more curious.
I completely think that they were going for that Revolution 9 mysterious psycho jam thing. I think PJ have topped the Beatles though. in my opinion.

It kinda does. At least Foxymop comes at the end of the album and has some music to it. Revolution 9 breaks up the flow of a stellar disc 2/side 4 and cuts some great songs off from the rest of the album, and there's nothing musical about it, it's just tape loops. It's the only serious misstep in the entire Beatles catalogue.

They needed to add some more mins to the album. I have never listened to it all the way and never will.

nobody is bitching. and not enjoying something is not the same as "can't handle." i can handle it, i just don't enjoy listening to it. i never thought it was a mistake or that it shouldn't have been included. i just choose not to listen to it because i don't like the feeling it conveys in ME.

I love Foxymop! I love it's creepy groove and samples... it's the last thing people expect from PJ

I'd really love to see PJ play, finish the show and then play Foxymop over the speakers as everyone's leaving... 8-)

It definitely breaks up the flow of the album, but it was the first track of its kind and set an important precedent for experimental studio tracks ever since. Without Revolution 9, there would be no Stupid Mop.

I haven't intentionally listened to the song since I had Vitalogy on repeat one night as I slept. The song woke me up & totally freaked me out!
