This is actually heavily influenced by Tom Waits' style (See Rain Dogs), Tom Waits actually sang on the album version of this song. In turn Tom Waits was influenced by Eastern European folk and three bar blues. System of a down have a heavy Eastern European influence, being of Eastern European descent so that's the connection between this song and Stuck in the Sky.

is it just me or does it sound suspiciously like system of a down ripped off some of primus's style and riffs?

@redwatchnewzealand

You don't have to read my comments if you don't like them, I was merely trying to explain to sociopathix (top rated comment below mine) why System and Primus have a similar feel to their music. Obviously you've got a lot on your mind and don't need my opinions dominating your life. So why don't you just fuck off, I insist. Just fuck right off and stop bothering people with your witty retorts, go laugh at your dick in the bath or something I don't care dude.

@jmdpgh81 No one but Claypool is EVER credited for lyrics on ANY Primus album.

[redwatchnewzealand]

@Woozygulag Yeah........it's just a Primus song so fuck off.

[WAbrewer426]

@Woozygulag Tom Waits Also did the voice of Tommy the Cat!! Tom and Ls have a long time friendship!! 2 musical genius's...

[jmdpgh81]

Didn't know System wrote Les' lyrics? Fuck them in the ass. SOAD is fucking garbage.

I always thought this song was about Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain.

"she cried in the day, she cried in the night, she cried loudest when someone was near. She cried for him, she cried for herself, the nearer the camera, the bigger the tear"
