Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
[Chorus]
Oh so sexy you got that natural
The way you moving ooh that's crazy
So amazing I'm getting faded
The way you moving ooh that's crazy
Oh so sexy you got that natural
The way you moving ooh that's crazy
So amazing I'm getting faded
Off you so intoxicating
Pretty feet with open toes
Scent of your neck is like a fresh red rose
X-ray vision passing through your clothes
But I really cant wait to see you naked though
The way your body move and you dip it slow
I try to play it cool but I gotta let you know
The way you looking I can tell you wanna go
Skip the preview and lets get to the show
My baby she kick it, she cool with all the fellas, she hood
Like taking chances but classy like Cinderella
She down like four flats, my baby girl is real,
She done weathered the storm and baby down with you still
[Chorus]
Now we at home and were all alone
With no interruptions just turn off you phone
Daddy's little girl but now that your all grown
Birthday suit is all you got on
Got the radio on and its playing your song
Touching on your body all night long
Feels so right that it cant be wrong
Sexual healing coming on strong
Them curves like a coke bottle cant be beat
Pedicure every week on them cute little feet
She a freak under the covers but she keep it discrete
She's my midnight treat baby for real that's why I remain
[Chorus]
She shaped like an hour glass
Flier than a mockingbird
Baby got that smooth skin softer than some fox fur
We go together like sweaters in cold weather
Nobody can do it better baby down for whatever
She gangsta like lil' Kim sexy like Alicia Keys
Funny like smoore baby cooler than a summer breeze
Man I swear my baby cuter than a teddy bear, nobody compares
Lil' mama baby that's why I am your man
[Chorus: x2]
Oh so sexy, oh so sexy, oh so sexy, oh so sexy
Oh so sexy you got that natural
The way you moving ooh that's crazy
So amazing I'm getting faded
The way you moving ooh that's crazy
Oh so sexy you got that natural
The way you moving ooh that's crazy
So amazing I'm getting faded
Off you so intoxicating
Pretty feet with open toes
Scent of your neck is like a fresh red rose
X-ray vision passing through your clothes
But I really cant wait to see you naked though
The way your body move and you dip it slow
I try to play it cool but I gotta let you know
The way you looking I can tell you wanna go
Skip the preview and lets get to the show
My baby she kick it, she cool with all the fellas, she hood
Like taking chances but classy like Cinderella
She down like four flats, my baby girl is real,
She done weathered the storm and baby down with you still
[Chorus]
Now we at home and were all alone
With no interruptions just turn off you phone
Daddy's little girl but now that your all grown
Birthday suit is all you got on
Got the radio on and its playing your song
Touching on your body all night long
Feels so right that it cant be wrong
Sexual healing coming on strong
Them curves like a coke bottle cant be beat
Pedicure every week on them cute little feet
She a freak under the covers but she keep it discrete
She's my midnight treat baby for real that's why I remain

Oh so sexy, oh so sexy, oh so sexy, oh so sexy
