Artist: Tool
Song: Hooker With A Penis
Tabbed by: Tobes  (flipsta101@hotmail.com)

*Notes*
This song is in dropped D tuning (as with most of Tool's songs), and uses a bit of a
grunge-distortion effect during the wicked little bass interlude. Play with fingerstyle -
you want a round, angry tone on this one. Enjoy.

No Picture ...I think I'm Wanna Be	#1 by ...I think I'm addicted to ritalin... at Jan 7, 1971 at 1:43 AM EST
	He's baisically laughing at the kid. The kid thinks he knows it all "holier than thou" attitude, realizes how dumb he by pointing it out. Maynard makes a fool of the kid, makes him look like an idiot, by showing him how far it actually went, how everyone's a sellout, and how hypocritical he's being... That was my view, but if anyhting GuythDan is the only one who really knows what he's talking about.

	they might not be a political band, but capitalism does play a role in the song's meaning. everything you see is a product with a message, and tool is no different, as maynard explains. i think galactic cactus got the meaning of the song title, although coldandugly applied the same meaning to a broader range of people just like maynard (hookers w/ penises). and isn't that what capitalism is made up of?

No Picture Cody Rhythm Player	#3 by Cody Gibson at Oct 25, 1986 at 3:34 PM EST
	I really don't think it's about that God-Aweful thing we call 'Capitalism'. I think it's just as the other guy had said... the Undertow thing. No matter, it's an extremely funny song. Somehow, though, I can't help but think there's some hidden theme in it! lol. How often does MJK say EXACTLY what he means? Galactic Cactus has a good theory for the title, though. I love this song (as I love all Tool songs :)). Ænima was just great. Wouldn't ya say? ;) -The Prynce

	what? sell out on his own words? what the hell are you talking about?

No Picture Hellspawn Average	#5 by Hellspawn at Oct 28, 2001 at 2:11 AM EST
	All I have to say is why does this song have the rating it does? What fool rated it low? This song is not only hilarious but it brings a good point across and is just entertaining. The chorus is great to sing along with. Tool will always be a great band.

No Picture Jerad Wanna Be	#6 by Jerad at Oct 21, 2002 at 4:58 AM EST
	This is the easiest tool song to understand...It's about capitalism. so this system is a hooker, cause it will sell out to anyone at anymean necesary, and has a penis cause eventualy it's going to fuck you...so the capitalism is a Hooker with a Penis

	Galactic Cactus hit it on the head. The song isnt about Capitalism. Tool isn't a political band!! When is everyone going to realize that.
