Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Adam Average	#1 by Adam Foreman at Dec 11, 1970 at 1:27 PM EST
	Whilst the literal meaning is obvious, the metaphor I think is about how life can be repititive - that drum beat whilst amazing is repititive and puts me off this song. "stooooned again" and other lyrics refer to doing the same thing everyday or at least routinely, and possibly along with some of Groundhog's Day's lyrics encourage variety to keep life interesting. Well for a while I got high every night and listened to Primus, now I do other things whilst still playing them occaisonally and it is more interesting/satisfying!

No Picture Roger Lead Player	#2 by Roger Ipswitch at Aug 17, 1973 at 7:26 PM EST
	These lyrics perfectly capture the feeling of being unemployed or in a dead end job and having nothing better to do than watch tv and smoke grass. Not that I would know anything about that....

No Picture it Lead Player	#3 by it died at Aug 2, 1977 at 1:44 PM EST
	I always thought it was "pull the plug" and "this one's still ridin'", but i guess not... what is a pud?

No Picture Fuck The World Average	#4 by Fuck The World and Pass The Booze. at Mar 12, 1979 at 2:48 AM EST
	anyone eve figure out what he says after the lyrics above? he holds it out for a long time..never figured it out...

No Picture SAF Lead Player	#5 by SAF (Scott) at Oct 22, 1981 at 2:18 PM EST
	First of all, I love this song. It braught a tear to my eye watching it on the Hullicinogenetics DVD. I believe he is either saying "Trust, again" "Thrust again" or anything with a "t". why? dont ask me. its primus.

No Picture brad Rhythm Player	#6 by brad sorensen at Nov 3, 1985 at 8:48 PM EST
	Pulling your pud = wanking. "We need new pornos" supports that it is in fact pud and not plug.

No Picture Aleksandar Average	#7 by Aleksandar Radošević at Nov 10, 1988 at 4:12 AM EST
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_western Last week, I watched the Primus - Hallucino-Genetics Live DVD while my mind was numbed by THC. Give it a shot, it's an amazing video, especially in an altered state of mind.

No Picture chris Average	#8 by chris at Apr 28, 1994 at 2:04 AM EST
	I think that at the end he is repeating the line: "Start, start again" as in referance to a going 'back to the drawing board' type thing - new piece of paper, begin attempting to write some new material, again...etc. I love this song, such a perfect paradox in meaning.

No Picture jason Wanna Be	#9 by jason terry at Feb 2, 2000 at 2:31 AM EST
	Pothead's anthem.
