Pearl Jam - Bugs

[TheDickMole]

I am a bee and I approve of this song

[Fictionparkour]

this song is kind of like pumping blood by lou reed & metallica hahahahahahahaha

[TheCreepsAreAlright]

This song is fucking awesome.

[flowercat213]

Hey guys, I think he has pest problems.

[TheCandyHole]

@flowercat213 OBVIOUSLY it's about drug problems dumbass

[flowercat213]

@TheCandyHole

Ummmm, I didn't say he had drug problems, I said he has pest problems; also, you have no right to call me a dumbass when you have never met me and know nothing about me, so stfu, bitch.

[TheCandyHole]

@flowercat213 typical buttfrustrated dumbass ignoramus response, next time don't be so predictable ok retard?

[flowercat213]

@TheCandyHole

I'm sorry the fuck I gives in another video.

[TheCandyHole]

@flowercat213 took you awhile to think of that gem eh?

[flowercat213]

@TheCandyHole

have you heard of time zones???

[TheCandyHole]

@flowercat213 no but I have heard of dumbasses that don't understand drug analogies

[flowercat213]

@TheCand

That's funny, cos I thought that if you knew what dumbass was you would've stopped talking from the start.

[TheCandyHole]

@flowercat213 you seem buttfrustrated, is your vibrator not working?

[flowercat213]

@TheCandyHole

thats usually the response people give when they have nothing to say cos they're dicks.

[TheCandyHole]

@flowercat213 you like dicks huh? that's why you keep replying ;)

[flowercat213]

Drugs?

[bleezie660]

he had to be tweeked out bad when he wrote this i love it

[alex9033]

... What in the name of holy fuck did I just spend 2 3/4 minutes listening to?

[bleezie660]

@alex9033 i take it uv never been up for days lmao

[saksaable]

@alex9033 one of the best songs ever!

[flowercat213]

@alex9033

Hey, have you heard of awesomeness?

[faniavedder]

I LOVE PEARL JAM!!!!!

[XShadoWPaws]

Good god that sounds horrible but funny XD

If you ignore the fact that Pearl Jam had their heads up their asses during this stage in their careers its funny :P

[aGasmaskProcession]

Oh, bitch complain whine moan~

Why can't people enjoy a song for humor or for concept, instead of just always "oh, does it sound PRETTY?"

I'm sick of all the fucking whiny assholes moaning about great stuff that they didn't even pay attention to.

[bleezie660]

@aGasmaskProcession EXACTLY!

[afro1samuri]

this is probably the most fucked up song ive ever heard

[realmazattacks]

Do I trick Them?

Don't think they're dumb!

Tickle My Nausea!

[jimmysevolution]

Merry Christmas!

[monstersball45]

THIS IS SO FUNNY, I LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG!!!!!!

[HaLfDeAdArtist]

lmao was he high ???

[poopalicker]

they smoked some good grass to come up with this

[scottelliottmusic]

@poopalicker This is more likely about coke/amphetamine psychosis. Bugs are a common hallucination for people who abuse stimulants. Not that I'm saying they did, but its probably about that.

[DextroChemist]

@poopalicker No, they didn't.

Why is it that when any song has possibly hallucinogenic lyrics or lyrics that seem to refer to the effects of a drug, a group of people jump to the conclusion that it must be about their drug of choice.

If this is about drugs, I suspect that it refers to amphetamine psychosis, anticholinergic hallucinations or - least likely - a bad trip on a classical hallucinogen like LSD.

[chessinfantry]

@DextroChemist ???hat the fuck are you talking about Buzz Killington? just let that shit riiiiide and enjoy the smooth groove of bug track man> y u got to be all filosofizing and stuff

[xDroflmao1337]

My parents got this album when it first came out, and at the time I was about 5 years old, and i freakin loved this album, especially this song. Shows how fucked up of a kid I was... lol. I remember singing along to all these lyrics.

"Do I JOIN them...? Looks like... thats the one..."

[craigs79]

This is for all those people with Bed Bugs..... (Kill Them All, Wipe Them Out)

[crazeerenegade]

Very interesting lyrics

I'm not so sure about the accordion

[SlitMouthWoman]

AIC has love song and PJ got's BUGS in their rugs.

[mulehead126]

Eddie is a bad ass bitch on that accordion lol

[MsGrunge93]

BEST SONG EVER

[BuffaloWings99]

man one time I was at this person's house I was drunk as f and there were cockroaches EVERYWHERE

so I pulled this song up on my ipod

all time classic moment

[Darby969]

THIS IS THE SEXIEST SONG PEARL JAM HAS EVER JAMMED.

anyone agree;)?

[johnroyful]

@Darby969 I agree w/ you! :-) I feel old right now, its almost 20 years now. LOL! I used to sing this song. hahaha

[EdMcStinko]

This song should be about getting completely smashed, not bugs. Thats what springs to mind anyways. Eddie sounds drunk. The accordion player sounds drunk.

[sincinho]

@EdMcStinko the accordion player is eddie

[BouzoukiBreton]

@EdMcStinko eddie is the accordion player

[46243970]

yo AMO a pearl jam... pero sinceramente... esta me parece la peor cancion, despues de "pry to"

[sadophobic]

@46243970 callese!!!

[warpeace3]

with this whole bed bugs situation going on. in canada and in the states. this song always seems to come into my mind??

[atlanteen]

What an horrible song, the worst PJ's song I've ever heard.

[millerchance007]

I am convinced if i go to hell that this is the song I am going to hear on repeat

[millerchance007]

this is THE MOST ANNOYING TRACK EVER RECORDED ...BY ANYONE and thats what got me kicked out of a bar for repeatedly playing it as I laughed while watching people getting extremely irritated by this song LOL

[albanuri]

fantastic lyrics, and that music is the best you can adopt to those lyrics

i really love this

[askarpopoylos]

Lyrics are great but vedder's accordeon playing is crappy

[CaptainHollyShort]

This is less a good song to listen to musically and more Pearl Jam's most hilarious track.

[Calbenmike]

Probably PJ's dumbest track.

[samueletozzi]

This song actually makes me believe I have bugs on me O.o

[sstyblo]

become their friend, become their friend!

[ryansol15]

..when you tweak for days on head you think theres bugs crawing every where. emaginary things that looks like bugs ..when you dont sleep for days you start to see shit showdows then bugs everyones different though..just herd about it thats what this might be about

[0EleanorRose0]

This is soo funny!:)

[EgagLatsev]

lol this song is shitty dude

[Degameth0]

I'm havin the same problem right now Eddie...

[21golden007]

at the begining i thought it was gonna be a rap song i was like wtf and now im done watching it and im still like wtf..

[Ekyvvsaq]

Love them, but this song is nothing but fillout, just like Foxymophandlemama and Aye Davanita!

Not their best album...

I know, thumb me down, thumb me down...

[fwooperboy]

I quite like the song Aye Davanita! It's a nice way to mix it up a little bit! But yeah, you're right...

[plaidINTERNATIONAL]

this song just brought a smile to my face lol:)

[BeautifulMisery88]

I was a twisted kid and made my dad play this song all the time.

[theatrejunkie17]

@BeautifulMisery88 LLOL meeeee to.... my dad just randomly gave me this link and i freaked out lol i forgot about it.

[weirdalfreakmm]

they played this when i saw them in philly first time ever played live i was so shocked when Eddie brought out the accordian lol

[phkd]

got about a minute into this song, wanted to hurt myself.

[NegativeCreepPro]

I fuckin' love Pearl Jam!

I fuckin' love Nirvana!

I fuckin' love Alice in Chains!

I fuckin' love Soundgarden!

I fuckin' love 90's music!

[Ekyvvsaq]

+Screaming Trees!

[Roadiepat]

@NegativeCreepPro and 90's TOOL

todays tool rules to. but I had to add that

[UbiDoobyBanooby]

@NegativeCreepPro Please don't say Candlebox though. I couldn't stand that singer.

[crowdsurfkitten]

@NegativeCreepPro What about Napalm Beach?

[MrBeeetlejuice]

@NegativeCreepPro

hahahahahaha the irony of your name hahaha :O) i agree



[MassimilianoRock]

@NegativeCreepPro you fuckin' love rock

[scotsblubabe]

@NegativeCreepPro  i cover some of they bands. xxx

[tslilpo94]

hahaha

PJ rock! :D

[etuberalism]

Tx for post, love this tune/noise/poetry, whatever.

[Emilio13805]

I got bugs in my skin!

[bp28cane]

yeah i saw this song live. what!

[AM1NH2]

One of pearl jams best songs. They let it happen again

[KatiaImeldaMarcos]

Il like this song. I was a huge PJ fan... I've seen them in concert ages ago when Ten came out...Vitalogy is my fav 'cause they fool around a bit like this tune or Foxymophandlemama

[nypj]

i admit it may be strange compared to a lot of mainstream shit, but i love PJ for the odd shit that they slip into the albums......

[abwrath]

pearl jam is killer

[aidansoccer]

bugs is a metaphor for many different things

[tronthetrue]

????????????? I acually thought this song was made as a joke, it also acually scared me first time I heard it. Pearl jam is my faviorte band but this is one of my least faviorite songs of all time and my least favorite by Pearl jam.

[TheMegarhodes]

bad

[spjfrat]

It's about the media and writers making or breaking careers. It's up to the artists.

[DevilDiablo13]

PCP is a powerful drug... amongst many other drugs. This song reminds me of the Beatles changing their style of music, reflecting the psychedelic trips they had...

[Lorimax78]

Agreed.

[gnrrox33]

Its about the media

[nordicivillain]

I think it's about opiates.

[MotherFudger27]

best song ever lol! pearl jam rocks!

[yeahsee33]

Raw or Well-Done?

[oodin77]

i said i eat them ^^

88

[profilaxia2008]

I´ve got bugs on ARCHICAD... Fuck I hate when that happens....

Love p.j.

[evilSNES64]

This song is fucking hilarious.

I would join them, of course.

[WHITEBITCHGUY]

ahhhhhhhh love dees song srow meech i hove bogs in me brains. areie olioooo oli olio lio are we cuppidy doopidy doo.. i take poo on you weeeeeeeeeee i can fry wike a TURD

[MissyMayh3m]

heh my dad used to tap the brakes of his car to the beat of this song.....my mom used to get really fucking mad too, of course we all thouht it was funny.

[sstyblo]

I say become their friend.

[drum00]

its a weird ass song haha, best wen ur high

[koits]

this song is like a drug

just love it !

[skatomundo]

is a drug!!

me droga cada vez que se me ocurre algo, "Ihave bugs in my head"..

[romybian]

u ever felt butterflies in your stomach?.

well... this song seems like a freakin' awesome way to describe that feeling....

[blinddogsdontbelieve]

I would join them!!

[MrOasis51]

I have bugs in my head,in my pocket!!Oh F..k on my record !!No it's impossible!!!!

[videl41]

many people says this track is shit but i kind like it!!!

[lyonslaforet]

@videl41 I agree with you. It adds to the claustrophobic atmosphere of Vitalogy!

[CowSpottedSnail]

Do I eat them?

I think this is about being stoned.

[krikrakrokkie666]

I just join them

[KalebBURT1]

this is one of the best pearl jam songs ever! many of you will disagree, but it's my favorite.

[dontbro]

the funny and beautiful irony is that for all of the clueless who say WHAT A WEIRD STUPID SONG....PEARL JAM SUCK..... well that was the deliberate intention of Pearl Jam...to start reversing their popularity....and having this weird song does just that to some of the clueless

but i fucken love it cause its pure art.......genious

[MusicandHorses174]

Erm...I'm pretty sure that this song is about being super, insanely high (because a lot of people think that insects are crawling on them when theyt're drugged out).

Oh, and it's awesome, too!

[123space5]

It's about being insane, not drugs.

[ReXeL564]

I hate you kaizzerz

You don't have a clue about good music

[MMCCmansonboy]

bugs in my window trying to get in

[kkliper]

Such a stupid song. Trying a little too hard to make a statement. Artists can be quite annoying a lot of the time.

[dontbro]

fuck u idiot

offends me on so many levels....fuck off and dont listen

[homicidalcrash]

Why is this so strangely depressing?

I love it.

[m00kieblayl0ck45]

i want them to play this live. everyone would love it

[Vaclawdm]

Ooo YEAH!!! Bugs would kickass, we damend it played live.

[krikrakrokkie666]

bugs are bugging me too, if one of them stings me I have to runn and go to the hospital ...or else...I have no heartbeat...

this is a funn song, especialy at the end >_o

[muzakbaby]

i don't think i understand the meaning of this song but wow do i enjoy it, it makes me laugh so much. Good song for drunken sessions doin silly stuff and having a laugh. 'do i trick them?..i don't think they're dumb!!' haha genius!! (unlike me, no laughing please). i can appreciate an interesting song and sense of humour tho :)

[Staal75]

Show me a clever human

[turtle7788]

still a great song, pearl jam does no wrong in my eyes, and i LOVE anything that comes out of them!!

[gibbson90]

i liked this song despite who strange it was.....i wonder what vedder was thinking when he wrote this song?

[illuminatedmorons]

ive wondered to. maybe you should look at all of pearljams other work and try to understand eddies overall intention. as a admirer of the band i suggest you look at cordoroy: what does the title mean(its a stich aswell)?

evenflow: it means the same as cordoroy?(the duality[yin-yang])

elderlywoman: is it about reincarnation?

in hiding: achieving enlightenment?

up in my tree:being enlightened?

porch: losing divinity(as the divine do)?

given to fly: martyr? (jesus didnt smoke)

deep:see above

[gibbson90]

ive never really thought of the meaning of many songs by pearl jam, but i like a lot of them. state of love and trust could be about enlightenment also. i assume you alredy know the meaning of alive and jeremy.

[illuminatedmorons]

i looked at state of love and trust. its about becoming enlightened and then getting yourself killed for the voices you used to hear.

eddies point is... if you loose the voice of god... dont get yourself killed trying to do what you thought it wanted. wait till it comes back.

jeremy would take along time to explain. and i bet you know the suicide story.. thats only half what the songs about.

please all respect pearl jam. they arent britney spears. they are god.

[Staal75]

Jesus whent up in smoke. old age wanna be star

[illuminatedmorons]

im not sure i understand your comment. could you elaborate?

[dontbro]

this song is about stalkers at his house......female ones..........and he gives in and fucks them.......

listen to the evidence in the song.........

[illuminatedmorons]

fucking illuminati with all theyre god damn brainwashing. fuck!!!

[manozlopezgonzales]

lalalala Do I eat them? Raw or well done? hahaha Great song

[Rab27]

oh hell ! G__G

[RockstarQueen08]

this is so bizarre...but I love it haha

[Eric13938]

next we shall be discussing hey foxymophandlemama, thats me

[SolusNemo]

I love this song. Its actually quite profound. The accordion is masterful - and, of course, Eddie's voice is amazing. He can go from the frenzied passion of "Spin the Black Circle" to the raw and soaring beauty of "Tremor Christ" to this, sort of a haunting calm knocking on the door of insanity, with no problem at all. What a vocalist.

But, yeah, wicked good song.

[BladeSkater64]

uhh odd but realy funny

[vardor100]

My ears!!! That sucks!

[albanuri]

Great song, great lyrics

[RickyGeddes]

theyve never ever played this live

[liquidfreak]

They fucking should, this is one of their most underated songs, lyrically that is.

[fightingfoos]

What? No this song sucks. I mean the lyrics are good, just a weird song it could never become big, people don't understand it. But I totally understand why they would make this song its completely abstract and it means something to the creator so its great.

[illuminatedmorons]

its not abstract you moron. this song doesnt suck. ok. the off key accordian... ok?.. are you with me??? it was on purpose.... lol... its an artistic statement. its cause hes singing about the disharmony. nothing is abstract. not even a river. i understand that you dont understand.... you should also understand that its because you are a moron. keep your stupid somewhere else.

[fightingfoos]

That sounded dumb. I didn't mean to say this song sucked. It's good it's just something that few people could understand or relate to and because of that it could never have been a major song. I didn't say it wasn't on purpose, of course it is. That isn't what abstract means, yet I'm the one being called dumb. By abstract I meant very unique and deep. No seriously that comment you just had sounded dumb. Yes, some things are abstract btw, hence the creation of the word abstract, abstract art etc.

[illuminatedmorons]

there is no such thing as abstraction. if he did it on purpose with intention and everything means something then its symbology. abstract art is used to describe art the has no symbols. understand. and the point of abstract art is that theres no such thing. even if the artist doesnt know the reason he moves his hand this way or that.. or is unaware of why red and not blue there is a subconscious reason. the word accident exists but if you know enough you know this is an illusion aswell.

[illuminatedmorons]

sorry you are dumb. i didnt make it so... i just pointed it out. stupid.

[fightingfoos]

You're incredibly immature.

[illuminatedmorons]

intolerant. im intolerant of ignorance. close though. both start with i's keep trying though.

lol... and funny. im incredibly funny aswell.

[illuminatedmorons]

i think you have bugs in your head lol!!!

do you get the symbol in this supposed abstract song yet?

do i have to draw a picture? you brainwashed unevolved parasite.

[dontbro]

brillaint lyrics i agree

vitalogy is such .......a powerful album......

very dark.......there is not one positive song on there cept for spin the black circle......but even that is almost like a cry saying without music which is my heroin id probably be dead......fucken love it

[CreativeCritisizm]

I wonder why ?,,lol,,,probably booed off stage, but this is nothing more than just an artfull experiment.

[dallamyr01]

This is such a terrible song, im a huge pearl jam fan and i still can't figure out why they put this and those other dumbass experimental/instrumental songs on Vitalogy. If people like THIS song, does that mean there isnt a Pearl Jam song that is universally regarded as crap by even the most hardcore fans?

[CreativeCritisizm]

This is a musical expression of art & psychology in the form of madness & depression, even the album art describes the feel, but the tune "Not For You" takes it on all good with a straight forward beat & a meaning that describes the album to the finest point.

[dontbro]

i guess your getting too much sex when u refer to groupies as bugs.........i realised this is the most meaningful, insightful song on the whole Vitology album..........

the reference to all becoming one right at the end is masterful.....

i fucken love eddie.......

[blackcricket08]

this song is so weird... i like it...

[liquidfreak]

their greatest song of all time. Alive, Jeremy, Better Man, spin the Black cirlce. They got nothing on this osbcure masterpiece.

[Catastrophe420]

this is a whack song lmfao

[xDroflmao1337]

lol.....

[Eric13938]

i wish they would throw this in the set live

[craigg726]

THANK YOU!! i always say that to people but everyone always shoots me down!!

It would be a great surprise if they threw this in live.

[dReAdLoCkA]

I concur!

[cloakeddog]

Bugs roXXXXXX!!!

XD

[MarcusBroddy]

I love it!!

[SkiDesignS]

see them deciding my fate

oh, that which was once...was once up to me...

now it's too late

i got bugs in my room...one on one

that's when i had a chance

i'll just stop now

i'll become naked

and with the...i'll become one
