So who do you think wrote "Got Some"?

I've been pondering this since the performance.
It has strong baselines, which suggests Jeff might be the author. But the main lick has Mike McCready written all over it. And then there's the drumming. Matt really has a presence on this song with his fills beyond just keeping the beat.
Now if you go back and look at Pearl Jam's past TV appearances — especially the one's where they debut a new song — it sure seems like it's usually one of Eddie's: Wishlist, Grievance, Not For You, World Wide Suicide.
I think a lifelong Pearl Jam fan can listen to a song and guess the main author 75 percent of the time. On this one, though, I'm stumped.
My best guess:
Music: McCready, Ament
Lyrics: Vedder

yea sounds about right...i freakin' love mike on this song
Has there ever been a McCready/Ament musical credit before? I'm wondering.
I think we can rule out Ed as the music man, because he doesn't play guitar. It doesn't really sound like Stone at all (although he obviously digs it). No way it's Matt, because it doesn't change time signatures nine different times
EDIT: In my first sentence, I mean words by Ed, music by Jeff. Just to be clear.
for the least they could possibly do
You know, without going and checking I'm not sure there ever has been a McCready/Ament-written song where it's just those two.
On second thought maybe you're right. Maybe it's just Jeff's song and Mike threw in the licks and Matt did his thing on the fills. I wonder how the band determines the writing credits.
The punchiness and pace of "Got Some" reminds me of Jeff's "God's Dice."
Corus is Ed's, solo is Mike's, fillers are Matt's, baseline is Jeff, awesome rhythmic layers are Stone's fault, all got some!

"Another tune, penned by drummer Matt Cameron, is a bigger surprise: it's sleek power pop, with a Stones-y intro riff-leading into a tight, chiming verse and a catchy vocal melody that wouldn't be out of place on a Kings of Leon record. "That could have been a seven-minute, weird, sideways kind of artsy song with a cool groove," Vedder says. "I thinkered with it after everyone left, and we shrunk it down and turned into somethig else."
