Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Badass	#1 by Nirvana at May 10, 1972 at 10:13 AM EST
	I saw a Behind the Music on VH1 and he said that it was supposed to be not quite stalkerish, but leave that sort of feeling. On the other hand, part of it was just about loving her. I think it seems more like that, and I'd be disappointed if it really was about the cold war, cuz the stalking/loving thing seems more emotional.

No Picture jay Average	#2 by jay culver at Oct 10, 1974 at 10:43 PM EST
	I actually have heard Sting say that this song is about him imagining his ex-wife stalking him. I do believe that I heard it on one of the many VH1 shows. Either way, I think the song is much more interesting when you think it's about stalking someone, because when I was growing up, so many thought it was such a great LOVE song. So, by at least having a different take on it, it makes me want to listen to the song over again and make new opinions about it, just as the "big brother" idea puts a new spin on this song.

No Picture Senour Average	#3 by Senour Dakota at Oct 24, 1974 at 5:16 PM EST
	i heard this was about the government watching their every step, but since i've listened to this song since i was in diapers, thats really hard to believe

No Picture Ali Wanna Be	#4 by Ali Friesen at Nov 16, 1979 at 11:30 AM EST
	We all feel hurt when one we love breaks a promise, or doesn't meet an expectation. We feel 10,000 times as bad as when we can not live up to a loved one's expectation.

No Picture Steve Wanna Be	#5 by Steve at May 12, 1986 at 5:51 PM EST
	I know that the typical take on this song is that it has a stalkerish aspect to it. However, another take on it might be the love and devotion a parent feels towards their child. The parent watches their baby grow up and eventually away from them. They feel pain when the child leaves for his or her first day of school, first date, prom, and eventually leaves to go to college or whatnot. But no matter where or what happens to the child that parent will always be watching over them.

No Picture † The Jester † Average	#6 by † The Jester † at Dec 3, 1988 at 1:23 PM EST
	get real nofx....pretty clever lyrics though.

No Picture Cody Professional	#7 by Cody Noneyobizones at May 6, 1995 at 8:22 PM EST
	im not positive but a friend has told me that he wrote this song about the media and how the paparazzi follow him around and hang on his every word
