Recording

[edit]

The song was recorded in almost one take, unlike Lithium.[1] Each member wore their favorite band on a t-shirt, Kurt wore his homemade Flipper t-shirt, Grohl wore a Melvins t-shirt and Novoselic wore a L7 t-shirt.[2]

Lyrics

[edit]

The opening of the song is lifted from a sixties song called Get Together[3]

Reception

[edit]

Far Out Magazine said it was a “punk-tinged rave-up”.[4] Matthew Furniss called it a "A sneaky peak into Nirvana's punk origins."[5] John D. Luerssen said it "found Kurt projecting his support of feminist viewpoints and singing out about paranoia and alienation."[6]
