| I think Thong Song is about the stereotypical redneck kind of guy that Kurt Cobain hated, but could also just be describing a rocker/stoner who doesn't care. (Well, there's long hair, dumb, doesn't care, so it seems like it can be either.) Also, I love the irony/hypocritic stuff going on with the lyric "I hate slow songs" being in the slowest song on the album. | |

| I took this as an "I sit in my desolate room" kinda thing. Just all alone and not caring about the rest of the people living their lives like little insects. But I overthink things. | |
