-this isn't as hard as it seems...get to know the song, and it'll come to
you very quickly. les claypool is a god when it comes to bass playing...
he adds lots of little fills and stuff that i didn't tab because that's
where you get to add your own little style. have fun.

I always found this song ironic, since it is called "the Antipop". but it is infact way more popish than almost any other Primus song up to that point.

ok first off I completly agree with Sodaman. The intro is a parody of the Black Sabbath song titled strangely enough Black sabbath. The meaning is pretty obvious, its expressing how shallow pop culture is.

This is my favorite Primus song I think it has a great representation of what pop music is like.
