Jingle Of A Dog's Collar

when i first heard the song it reminded me of the song "life is shit" by the dead milkmen, just the way they both say 'friend of mine'

is it just me or does this song remind anyone else of nirvana's come as you are?

Cobain was known to be a Butthole Surfers fan, according to wikipedia he even met Courtney Love on a BS gig. Not sure about that though because I've seen a video where Thurston Moore introduces Kurt to Courtney on one or another festival.

That being said, I don't seee much connection between this song and come as you are... .

lol really crazy yeah depps a fan too hmm what do you think he means when he says the jingle of a dogs collar would be good right.

uhhh this song is about heroin addiction 'dog collar is referring to be leashed to the shit

i personally love this song becuse the lyrics refer to an unquestionable love... 'what do they know..'

Everytime I hear "Come As You Are," all I can hear is "A jingle of a dog's collar would be fine." Musically, it's very similar. And I'm glad somebody else noticed it.

I always thought the jingle of a dog's collar would sound good at that particular point in the song, so you'd imagine what it would sound like. Maybe Gibby wanted to add a dog's collar to the mix, but they wouldn't let him, so he wanted to point out that it belonged there. The rest of the lyrics seem to be about heroin, so maybe Gibby sees himself as conditioned like Pavlov's dogs.

To me jingle of a dogs collar is the sound you hear if your dog gets away, then you call him and he comes to you, you feel relief as you hear the jingling of his collar, indicating that he is coming back. It seems like this song is about a loved one leaving, and then hoping for them to come back to you.

However convoluted and cryptic you were hoping these lyrics to be, I'm pretty sure this dog collar was meant to be worn by a dog.

"What do they know about love" if he's talking about a dog is a comparison between romantic love--which can be fleeting and/or hard to come by--with the love between a dog and its human.

I assume something went wrong or got complicated in the area of romantic love, and the narrator went to discuss the matter with his dog--but the narrator might just be reminiscing about a dog that had since passed.
