This is another Primus song that really breaks the mold of irregularity.
Its melodic, heavy on the bass, and almost somewhat normal.
As far as i'm concerned this is a great song for people who really 
want
to start taking bass serious, a fantastic first song for any Primus
fan to learn.

There's just a couple of main parts that repeat.  The intro, main 
verse,
and post verse/chorus.  You'll hear them all pretty distinctly.
Just listen and best of luck.


Intro:  The beginning of this song sets the pace for the A string, 
your gonna wanna
keep it plucking through every bit of the song, occasionally 
with a triplet. The first part of this intro repeats several 
time for each time the second bit comes around.  Just listen to 
the song, clear as crystal to pick out.

|--------------------------------||--------------------------------|
|---------------------7--9---10--||-----------7--9---10--9--5--7---|

|--------------------------------||--------------------------------|



This intro bit repeats a bit, until you hear that distinct high 
pitched cord 
leading into the rush of a flemenco stroke.

|00000000000000000000000000000000|    but watch hallucinogenetics 
and see for yourself)
|--------------------------------|

Then the intro bit repeats a few times, give er a listen and you'll 
get the timeing of it all no trouble, after this intro "oooh, 
quite a surprise" and the actual song kicks in, the rest of the 
way through you'll be playing this.

|0000000000000000000000000000000000||0000000000000000000000000000000000|

|----------------------------------||----------------------------------|



Then, once you hear that high pitched bass chord again, your 
back into this little bit:

|00000000000000000000000000000000|    
|--------------------------------|


And there you have it! fit it all together, if you have any trouble 
don't hesitate. best of luck.
