Pearl Jam - Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me

[RE1GNBLOOD]

If you can get past the schizo ranting and listen to the music in the background it's a actually a great track.

[deathmelon6789]

It's like the younger brother of Revolution 9...

[PowderedHappines]

You know, third albums of grunge bands tend to be the strangest and most erratic, y'know. Vitalogy by Pearl Jam and In Utero by Nirvana. Both great albums. by the way. In Utero is my favorite album of all time and Vitalogy is up there.

[TheCandyHole]

Creepy? Please... try Frankie Teardrop or Hamburger Lady if you want creepy

[MrDzoni955]

im stupid and dont get a thing

[ItsKaczor]

I am oficially scared right now.

[keniakittykat]

pearl jam, hey, guys! ehh, where's the song? no? nothing at all?

ehh, okay, you keep being deep and artsy... I'm going to listen to some metallica or r.e.m. at least they didn't get all offended with major butthurt when they 'committed the crime of becoming popular'

[gooihom]

I would love to get my hands on a vinyl version of this album, and then play it backwards. I bet there's more to this song than everyone thinks

[sniperfran]

no need to refer about influences (beatles, floyd, no sense), and no need to judge. this track is only to listen in the end of the album, not as an isolate song. it's the end of the concept-album, one logic end, the perfect end of an album in between life and death.

[Eospag]

I love this song.... it's so creepy and haunting.

5:11 IF YOU EVER GO TO BED I'LL KILL YOU.

[brandontylerkaiser]

This is fucking ridiculous

[oHelmslyoRisesAgain]

it isnt supposed to have some explicit meaning or exploit the mentally ill; it really is PJ's version of revolution 9 or a floyd song. everyone in these tapes is probably dead by now of course

[petefaders]

A spanking, that's the only thing I want so much..hahaha.

[nana68ish]

this song is result of pink floyd`s influence on pearl jam))

[EvilCreeps]

@iChaston Me too. XD

[homegrowndave]

everybody has there own taste an i hang around menal patient psychiatric hospitals as a hobby on weekends

[darkcreed18]

"Do you ever think that you would actually kill yourself?"

[LostMyReality]

@darkcreed18

yes

[Cygnus2112YYZ]

REVOLUTION 9 BY THE BEATLES ...

[TiagoRib93]

this is like PJ's "Revolution 9" =D

[TheStickUpKid187]

i thought about this song whats the main purpose and point of the message, I'm guessing Eddie Vedder wanted to show that insane people are very intelligent and know how life works. Kinda disturbing but has a meaning.

[scroggdogg28]

this is fuckin weird maaaannnnnnn and im a huge pearl jam fanatic

[TheStickUpKid187]

ok can someone explain why would they record their interviews with REAL insane patients?????? thats fucking creepy!!! lol

[SammiCakesAdventures]

@TheStickUpKid187 they use to record mental patients in like the 1930's,1940's and so on to compare with other hospitals patients.It was to see how each illness was described by each person to see what each illness was actually like.Kind of like an old fashioned survey.

[12321Walrus]

Reminds me of Revolution 9 by the Beatles...

[THEMUSACMAN]

Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana if only grunge was as alive now, then in the early 90's.

[Tigerpuffer]

This reminds me a lot of Tool's "Disgustipated", hidden track on Undertow, as well as the Beatles' "Revolution 9". I remember the night I got Vitalogy, I fell asleep while listening, and woke up during the middle of Hey Foxymophandlemama, and I thought I was still asleep. Awesome!!

[donotseemecricket]

reminds me a lot of Bird Seed by whitehouse, or SPK's leichenschrei album, not so much the music but the mood and the samples taken from psychiatric hospitals. i don't see how this is 'bad', i feel like they set out to make a disturbing song, and considering the entire album booklet and what the theme of the album is, it fits well as a closer.

its an underbelly view of society, which for PJ is not unfamiliar territory, so why this would shock someone who knows pearl jam's stuff is beyond me.

[myownruin187]

This has to be one of the most distubing songs i've ever heard, it creeps me the f*ck out! I remeber the first time i heard it, i was

Shit faced ofcourse and totally ruined my high! Its just f*cked up to listen to, theres never a good time to listen to it, never!! I mean is anyome gona play this with a date in ur car ot just for hell if it! My least fav song by PJ i shocked it made the album!! Wish j never heard it!

[dollyisblue]

worst experimental song i have ever heard.

[THiC]

@dollyisblue ha! I think you should listen to a lot more "experimental" songs. Worst? Not ever. Creepy? Fuck yeah! Awesome? Double-Fuck yeah!

[oatstao]

really good album. Their Homage to the Vinyl LP (spin the black circle)

is amazingly poignant. I don't recall this sound sculpture.. it's actually the last song they recorded for the LP with Jack Irons from the Chili Peppers who came in and replaced the old drummer. Jack Irons (if you read his wiki) actually was a very key person for Pearl Jam. They have him to thank for their being together! He's a humble guy too. I would guess he's working out some demons in this song.. peace thanks for

[CraigPhilipMyBeer]

I remember I was only 10 when I got this album when it first came out. One of my first rock albums. My mom walked into the room when the beginning of the song was playing and she took the cd away from me and threw it away lol. I didn't get back into Pearl Jam until Yield came out and I repurchased this album. Vitalogy is my favorite album from them.

[PupuTheClown]

,,did she throw away the album book to ?

[Alli8833]

@CraigPhilipMyBeer lol!

[giga0524]

Can I get the lyrics? I don't believe the things I'm hearing.

[bleezie660]

@giga0524 didnt u read its all actual psych ward patients talking about crazy thoughts

[SleepySpaceman]

@giga0524 This song is real recordings of patients at a mental hospital, with Eddie Vedder playing guitar in the background and Jack Irons, the orignal drummer from Red Hot Chili Peppers, on drums. And that's how that song was made. Yeah, I just found that out... creepy isn't it?

[sensationaldenny]

I like this album but I usually just skip this last track. I think PJ wanted to make Vitalogy like their version of the White Album

[bgavidia]

"UN PASO MAS EN LA MANO DEL CINE"

[12inchvertical]

now that I look down the page i see that everybody already knows that already... sorry!

[12inchvertical]

the voices were taken from interviews at a psychiatric hospital... god knows how they got permission

[giga0524]

@12inchvertical maybe they didn't. Shit who would they need to ask permission. I think the hospital they took this from actually closed down (I might have read that somewhere). And that would have me assume that the child speaking in this song actually died(just an assumption btw).

[12inchvertical]

chilling

[georgiamayjay]

Weird as shit.

love it - pearl Jam will forever REIGN

[Hyurno]

You see, last year I heard this and I had nightmares for 4 days. Now I came back to hear it and I love it.

[jasondlane1]

Any one know where I can find the documentary that this song is based off of? I saw the film in school and its really good.

[Skeloguy]

I find this song kind of scary because it was created using looped recordings of real patients from a psychiatric hospital. Not kidding

[kingkye262]

Ignoring the obvious moral and ethical complications, is the whole using recordings of mental patients thing.....legal?

[senseofcompletion]

I love this one.

[grogtgs]

I really enjoy this song. I used to love it back when I had the vitalogy cd. I wonder where the recordings from the mental patients came from

[jessebannon123]

I am a disgustingly huge fan of Pearl Jam, but I really can't stand this song.

[46243970]

la mas escalofriante cancion de pearl jam.... da miedo

the scariest pearl jam´s song... its frightening

[HelloFade2]

This song is bascialyl for Pearl Jam what Revolution 9 was for The Beatles.

[samueletozzi]

This song scares me, really... But I can't stop hearing it as soon as it starts

[Fyrzon]

Eddie > God

[pjlballplayer10]

what the fuck am i listening to

[SlitMouthWoman]

Pearl Jam is now Creepy Jam.

[kgbkgbkgb96]

i can't even figure what she says... its creepy

[riggs100]

I'd like to see Pearl Jam taking this kind of risks in their music more often.. This is so eerie and psychotic, not common in them. I agree this is their Revolution 9..

[theachtungtree]

@riggs100 pj doesnt go that way cause its rather pretentious and like a joke for them.....plus everybody does that shit from time to time, like sonic youth or something (...not saying its a bad thing)

[ItsKaczor]

No, seriously. It's fucking frightening.

[ItsKaczor]

creepy

[malakian201]

what a trip...

[shane31lv]

Honestly i think this song really added to pearl jams mystique, also it adds to the eeriness of the entire era, especially after kurt's suicide and the talk about suicide in this song. However i must say that this would have been a much more genuine song if kurt wrote it, because he actually DID feel this way, unfortunately.

[RideMyBMW]

"it adds to the eeriness of the entire era, especially after kurt's suicide and the talk about suicide in this song" - shane31lv

I think you nailed it. When I heard this for the first time, 15 years ago, the first thing that came to my mind were two people : Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's mother...

[theachtungtree]

@RideMyBMW courtney love can suck eddie's legendary cock....she's nothing more than a burned out whore and a has been...in the meanwhile ed can whipe out his ass (like once he did with a rolling stone mag) with kurt's dust. STOP naming pj in the same sentence of that piece of shit band who ripped off sonic youth's and the pixies sound, people please

[MrFloodian]

@theachtungtree Grow up.

[theachtungtree]

@MrFloodian yeah...you grow up dipshit..."(DUBSTEP REMIX!) You dun goofed up (Because I back traced it!)" on your favs, christ

[MrFloodian]

@theachtungtree I'm failing to see the correlation between how mature I'm acting and what's on my favorites. I think it's pretty irrelevant, as a matter of fact.

[theachtungtree]

@MrFloodian hehe, what i thought....avoiding shit or you're not that smart to figure it out

[bpadge74]

Becuse you feel closer to person. It's the only thing I want so much.

[bzurvalec]

Let's face it, this song is about absolutely NOTHING and was probably "written" in a matter of minutes. In all fairness though, the song does have a certain eerieness that gives the Vitalogy album an extra element or two. And by the way, the Vitalogy album is a MASTERPIECE. I thought that when I got the album way back in 1994 and I think it now.

[unfreakinbelievable0]

If you think this is creepy, you should listen to Mr. Bungle.

But yeah, it's an extremely awesome closer. So bizarre..

[FlockaLorenzzz]

I remember when I first heard this song, it reminded me of some avant garde, experimental, industrial music, etc...

It's great. I don't know why it catches so much flack from fans. At the same time, most Pearl Jam followers probably don't listen to anything remotely similar to this on a daily basis either, haha.

[Gigsixstrings]

&*7%#@()_+=?

[Esanx77]

this song is a bit creepy XD when i listen to it, i get paranoid, i keep thinking lil hands are gonna grab me and drag me away and kill me XD strange song XD

[mariannarossi82]

freaking creepy. almost as creepy as the whole "twin infinitives" by royal trux

[yyyuuuguppy]

worst song they have ever made.

[BitchinnShoes07]

So...did these kids have schizophrenia, or what?

[PupuTheClown]

Batman is good to me and brings my mother sweet smelling flowers on a daily basis !

[meco758]

from wikipedia:

"It is made up of conversations between mental patients in asylums, and psychiatrists, with distorted bass guitar and drums laid over them"

[liambailey100]

I reckon this would be really creepy if you listened to it in bed, with the lights off. Creepy enough listening to it with the lights on :/ Probably give you nightmares.

[christyj1978]

the person who says '"honest to god, really" sounds like alice from the brady bunch! i have always thought that!

[hahaeliz]

the first time i heard this i was so scared, I didn't even want to go to the bathroom cause I was scared the voice was gonna like get me. haha. Not as creepy now but seriously... weird shit...

Pearl jam rocks!

[MewTheHell]

Really, it's the most disturbing song I've ever heard... It was recorded from a psyquiatric hospital... wow, it's really deep to listen to all the things that people said... I mean, their thoughts and their ways of thinking about some aspects of life...

In two words: Beautifully Weird. It disturbes me, bet it makes me think ~

Anyway... Pearl Jam fucking rocks l..l.

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

She prides herself on her cleaning habits

[salrap10]

as creepy as this song is, i have to admit that drum beat is pretty sick :)

[spankycorkforker]

holy shit keep the lights on

my spanky

[Rockdiebude1]

At the end

"Do you ever think that you would actually kill yourself?"

"Well, if I thought about it, uhh, real deep, yes, I believe I would."

[Karkar82]

I remember being so freaked out by this when I was a kid:-D. Now I love it

[nypj]

um... has this ever been played live, and if so does anyone know where i can hear it?

[CCSoundgardenCC]

@nypj no, they wont, same with pry, to, and aye davanita, off of the same album of course, but they played bugs on halloween the last night of the spectrum in philly

[bebenavole]

u havent heard creepy

[MrJdg78]

parents please gain control not total mental and physical unwanted actions

[suicacrobatdude]

I can relate to the girl that is talking in the song :p~~

[krofodil]

how can you dislike betterman?:P

[Stunna9090]

Betterman is a good song in terms of quality. I remember they played the hell out of it on the radio! Betternan just not my cup of tea, although overall P.J. (Pajamas lol) is my fav band who in my opinion makes the best music... (I actually read yesterday that the band originally didn't want to put it on the album bec they considered it a great pop song=idk why "considered pop" and Vedder had already made it in his Bad Radio days. (Kinda didn't suprise me) All in all, its a good song, tho...

[krofodil]

I didn't know that they didn't want to put it on the album so thanks for the information

[CCSoundgardenCC]

how the hell do you not like betterman

[Ekyvvsaq]

I dont get why Pearl jam do stuff like this, it make me loose respect for them.

[CCSoundgardenCC]

cuz it has meaning

[Ekyvvsaq]

What meaning?

[Radz117]

Who's voice is speaking in this?

[YourPrivateArea]

yours

[CCSoundgardenCC]

its recordings from children at an insane asylum

[lot24]

I don't think all, or any were children, They just distorted the voices to make them sound like children.

[joao2f]

what the fuck is this?

[CCSoundgardenCC]

sheer awesomeness

[SuperiorJoaco]

Es una lata que este en ingles porque entiendo la mitad de lo que dicen

[Fish7pie]

holy crap this is like being a mental patient whilst on acid when you already have dementia. its friggin great

[blinddogsdontbelieve]

Hahahaha!!Very funny!!

[Gigsixstring]

well, this is really ... interesting. and I couldn`t find this track anywhere. could anyone tell me where to download or send the track to me?

[mrlongley1542]

come on guy- buy the fucking album like a respectful human

[Gigsixstring]

well, I surely would, but this album isn`t available in stores in my country. so don`t come insulting me!

[BitchinnShoes07]

THis reminds me of "Disgustipated" by Tool. this is cool as fuck. im officially a pearl jam fan.

[Ekyvvsaq]

@BitchinnShoes07 Cool?? try "disrespectful" to make money out of someones mental illness, seriously, I love Pearl Jam but this is just wrong! Im glad they have grown so much more mature, actually, i think they can see now that this wasnt a good choiche for a track.

[TormentoftheDahaka]

@BitchinnShoes07 Gotta love Tool...AND Pearl Jam...

LONG LIVE THE TUNES OF THE 90'S!!!!

[CowSpottedSnail]

Hey, what's up with the thumbs down thing? I said I love it. And if you say it doesn't suck, you're a moron. But I love the suckiness. So it's awesome.

[RuuudeBwoyNo1]

I wonder what it would be like if they played this live...

[RuuudeBwoyNo1]

In my opinion the best song on the record...

[bioshock000]

song?? it barely becomes a song after the drums start playing, senseless guitar distortion and drums, they don't make a song. i would rather say this is artwork, this is mistery, this is some kind of message, and.. this is addictive..

[CowSpottedSnail]

I love this song. It sucks, but at the same time it's amazing.

[Bskiz1978]

sort of like Vitalogy.

[krofodil]

that songs scares me

[starfox471]

whoaaaa. this song sent chills down my spine.

[AlecKronicle]

this is Pearl Jam's Revolution 9#

[GenesisTree]

so true.

wow. 10 months. I need to get back to uploading this album. I have 10 songs left to go.

[AlecKronicle]

what album?

[GenesisTree]

Vitalogy.

I uploaded tracks 11-14 so far, but haven't uploaded the prior tracks yet.

[mrlongley1542]

very true. thank you for being honest and noble. i am an american and at times ashamed to admit it in this age. i dont relate to any of the scum in my country.

[evilSNES64]

I feel the same sometimes.

[salrap10]

I said the same exact thing as soon as I heard this

[L33R0YJ3NKlN5]

@AlecKronicle Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9.. Turn me on, Dead man! :O I'm 15, I heard Revolution 9 when I was like 7, it scared the shit out of me.

[Clapppers1616]

very wierd but cool.

[JazzBassDude]

I wonder what the overall message they were trying to send was when they decided to use recordings of mental hospital patients. I'd be interested in knowing what thier reason was. It's interesting.

[dontbro]

ive interpreted this as being linked with bugs and satans bed

in bugs i think eddie is talking about female stalkers...who try and bust into his bedroom... ."ill just stop now...ill become naked...and with them ill become one"

in satans bed theres the sound of a whip and eddie saying "all this torture" and the song is about models who wouldnt leave him alone

i think foxymop continues this theme....it sounds like a kid saying "spanking thats the only think i want so much"..

[RuuudeBwoyNo1]

my guess is it's about psychosis, maybe bondage, lol. ya know. in the song it says "Spank me".

[davideugene]

that boy needs therapy

[spike018]

sounds like a schizophrenic person...lol

[fiveyearwinterkiss]

it is actually

[deadpool22]

Worse than rap

[rockyriverman]

Very creepy song. When they picked up the pace in the second half of the song, it was pretty cool.

[hahaeliz]

thats beyond creepy

[jkwill79]

This song is a bookend to the first song on the record "Last Exit," which is about death. If you listen the last words of the song its a is a suicide contemplation..."Do you ever think that you actually would kill yourself?" "Well, if I thought about it real deep, I believe I would." And thats the end of the album.

[dontbro]

nice pickup

[Kyeb20]

The song is a 're-mix' of a tape that one of the band found in an archive somewhere.

The old lady was a mental patient from the eighties living out her days in a correctional assylum in the states for commiting many bizzare and perverse acts.

The tape records a psychologist (The middle aged female voice) interviewing the 'mop handle mama' whilst the whole thing is narrated by a journalist (The male voice).

[CreativeCritisizm]

"Here fool it's beautiful" was taken from Spanky, The Little Rascals-Our Gang. "Hey Stupid" & the mop story is just some kids playing around. "I can still fantasize but keep it to myself" was a recovering sex addict or molester, "Thats the only thing I want so much" & the reference to suicide was what sounds to me like a real young girl victim being cross analyzed by a pshchologist, "She prides herself on her cleaning talents" some 50s television or promotional add, that simple.

[bioshock000]

well, although you give a further description about the lyrics.... or voices, in this case, there's still too much to be studied here

[evelknievelboy20]

this is written by an abused child.i should know

[CreativeCritisizm]

is this Eddie Vedder's voice as a kid ?

[loxto]

no its not is a taped recorded in a metal hospital with mental patience

[loxto]

no its not....

[UsedWhale]

It's a tape of an educational video about schizophrenia from the 70s or 80s just played over distorted bass and drums.

[dReAdLoCkA]

This is not creepy. It's probably one of their best songs, if you ask me. I love it, and I thank you for uploading it.
