    Strange happenings today. I just shuffled my Ipod which has about 7000 tunes on it and the first song played was HeyFoxyMop. I find that creepy.

    On the same day this post/topic was started... Mmmmmm

    Yes, and this morning ,before I'd even read this thread, I decided to not skip the track. I'm cold, and frightened.

    I read somewhere, at some point, a long time ago (could i be more vague?) that the dialogue in HeyFoxyMop was between a psychtriast and a girl that has been abused. And yes, I think that this is the most disturbing song they ever made. (And maybe somewhat personal?) I do think however that it is the perfect ending to a very dark and symbolic album; all the way down from the disturbing liner notes of Last Exit.

    This album screams in many ways "suicide"; not in a literal sense, but suicide in defiance, as a symbolism of non-conformtism, as a political act. Look at the first lines: "If one can't control life, will he be driven to control death?" And than listen to the last words of HeyFoxyMop...

    Vitalogy is like The Dark Side of the Moon of the 90's.

    vague but true. i read that somewhere too.

    I dig FoxyMop a lot. i dont listen to it every time i listen to Vitalogy, maybe cause i usually spin the vinyl. i dont think its on the vinyl.
    Peace, Love.

    Vitalogy has always been my favorite PJ album, and although some people on here often talk about how terrible Bugs, Pry, To, Aye Davanita, and Hey FoxyMop, are, I think the album is flawless.


    AYE DVANITA is Terrible? No way, that song kicks ass. I agree with you on the other ones. I think Stupid Mop is a homage to Revolution #9.

    yep, i just called my nephew. ( im at work ) he said its on there. hmm dont know why i dont let it play out then.

    okay, so there is something that is on a cd but not on the vinyl. is it Yield ? is Hummus left off the vinyl?

    i bet thats it.

    Could be Hummus. I don't have Yield on vinyl... :( Always wanted to, but they are hard to find here... I'm also still looking for No Code and Binaural. My four favourite albums...

    In my opinion, which is just my opinion, and I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion, Stupid Mop is to the Vitalogy Album what Enron was to the Accounting profession. Like Rihanna's face after her assault. Something beautiful with a horrible black eye on it. To me, that album ends with Immortality.

    I have never been able to listen to that song. It is way too disturbing and has always made me feel uncomfortable, down to my very core.

    ditto
    i'd freak if they played it live.....and not in a good way.

    The song gives me the creeps. Whenever I listen to Vitology I stop it before this song starts.

    It's just a bonus track that was added at the last minute. Eddie opted to include it on all versions, rather than just the UK or Japan.

    Stupid Mop isn't even on my Ipod. The only song I don't have. It's just odd, listened to it once or twice if that.

    I actually really like Aye Davanita and Hummus from Yield.

    I have always hoped for the beat of the song to enter into a live show, perhaps in a transition or sandwhich or something, but I doubt that'll ever happen...

    As far as its inclusion in the album, I think it fits nicely and appropriately, though I don't listen to it much (especially when jamming in the car!). But the whole album has a sinister feeling to it, which is heightened throughout FoxyMop, and then cut out in an eerie ending. But, I have always equated the "song" with such things as track 69 on Tool's Undertow: no real meaning, just fucking around.

    'Let the rabbits wear glasses.'

    And Vitalogy isn't complete without Stupid Mop. Can't really call it a song, but that track puts you pretty close to what was going on in Eddie's head when he recorded that album. Kurt's death, the height of grunge, the band on the verge of breaking up, wearing halloween masks in public, fighting ticketmonster... It's a wonderfully dark album.

    What I like about the song is that the music embodies the fragmented and disturbing conversation. Like the musis is the girls mind; distorted, confused, fragmented... To me like all "fillers"" (I hate this word for I don't think they are fillers, just different forms of musical expression) they are musical statements tying the meaning of the album together... They are highly symbolic.
