I tried to fuck my girlfriend to this song back in 2001 after her end of school dance, and she made me turn it off because it scared her. Legendary.
@DerangedRanger1 much as I respect your opinion, I have 24 years of music theory, and consulting both my experience, and as well as the tablature for the bass for this song, from the official song book, if you look, you will see that the notes are written for the bass largely in 2 note clusters, which is typical of a 2/2 count. There is also something known as counterpoint. it is very easy to play a 4/4 time and have another musician playing 2/4 against it.
@DerangedRanger1 also, for example most musicians count Money from Pink Floyd in 4/4 and it never sounds quite right. The reason for this is, The bulk of the song is in 5/4, with the solo section being in the usual 4/4. Another excellent example of this is Finish What You Started by Van Hagar. The drums are playing in one time signature, and eddie riffing in a different one. Jazz musicians do this ALL the time.
@DerangedRanger1 from wikipedia: Marches can be written in any time signature, but the most common time signatures are 4/4, 2/2 (alla breve, although this may refer to 2 time up until the time of Johannes Brahms, or cut time), 6/8, and 3/4; however, some modern marches are being written in 1/2 time.
@DerangedRanger1 and i respected you up to that point. I have a musical knowledge that extends beyond wiki.
I have studied music theory for 25 of my 39 years. Play Baritone Tuba, Bass Guitar, Guitar and keys. I have far more cultural knowledge than you give credit for. Im not trying to prove any one right or wrong, simply providing support to my argument that it COULD BE in 2/2. If you have to resort to insults or cultural basis arguments, your argument holds less merit to me.
@DerangedRanger1 and this i agree with, but it COULD be done in 2/2 with no real ultimate effect on it.
I grant very easily that you have some musical knowledge as you didnt resort to expletives or insults to express yourself, which is greatly appreciated. I simply was stating that it can be counted in 2/2 and that it is possible that Les is playing it in 2/2 based on the sheet music where all his bass line is written out in 2 not clusters, not in 4's.
@wseefried It is quite possible, but look at all the product spots in music and television shows (even the "news") and films, etc. Maybe this too? It could be they are making a sarcastic remark about Taco Bell too. In any case, if they aren't getting paid, what it amounts to is free advertising, doesn't it? It is not that I don't like Primus, I do. I simply question this one act. Is it that bad to actually think about and criticize things? Or are you that brainwashed?
How can you say that Primus sucks? Les Claypool would have been playing in that shitty ass band they you would call Metallica. His bass player surpasses any other bassist today.
@Psychotron67 1. "Primus Sucks" is the bands motto. 2. Les Claypool was too good for Metallica. 3. Les Claypool IS the bassist for Les Claypool (a.k.a. Primus)
Favorite Song on the album, along with "Prof. Nutbutter" and "Southbound Pachyderm"...awesome. I love hearing banjo in non-bluegrass tunes, and Les's bass sounds like a frigging tuba in this song, somehow. Primus sucks so much.
song always reminds me on high school. i did hang out at Jack in the Box and eat at Taco Bell in El Sobrante. it was on the corner of Appian way and San Pablo Dam rd.
