Big Dumb Sex

Soundgarden

Yeah, do what you do
Don't you don't you want to thrill me
Don't you be afraid to tell me
Tell me if you think it's ugly
But now don't you want to touch it anyway

I've been looking for a reject
And you ain't had nothing like me yet
So don't you think it's time for motion
I can take what you've been pushin'

Hey I know what to do
I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you
Fuck you Ya I know what to do
I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you
Fuck you I'm gonna
Gonna, yeah

I'm the beast and you're the master
You're the meat of the matter
I'm no fool for discretion
When it's on the tip of my tongue

Don't you don't you want to thrill me
Don't be afraid to tell me
Tell me if you think it's ugly
But now don't you want to touch it anyway

Hey I know what to do
I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you
Fuck you ya I know what to do
I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you
Fuck you I'm gonna
Gonna fuck you

Yeah I know what to do
I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you
Fuck you yeah I know what to do
I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you
Fuck you I'm gonna
Gonna, gonna
F U

    General Comment"Hiro, our bass player at the time, hated that song. He thought it was obnoxious butt rock, a total rock'n'roll cliche. We tried to explain to him that the song was making fun of butt rock. We were fed up with bands beating about the bush, just using euphemisms and metaphors for the sex act. We thought we'll ditch all the euphemisms and say what all the disco dance bands had been trying to say for a decade. We were simply trying to kick all the lame-ass rock'n'roll and dance music of the '80s and late '70s in the butt. It's a parody of the whole genre of stupid rock." --Kim Thayil

    General CommentThis pretty much sums up corny, generic, 80s pop metal in one song. Basic, catchy, "macho" riff, excessive use of chorus effects, double-tracked "high and low" vocals, simple guitar solo that fits the melody and rhythm like a glove, and verses that are laughably suggestive, but never quite say what they really mean.

    A misunderstood and classic style parody that more people should hear.

    General Commentme and my friend used to sing this all the time in school, and we had it so amazingly coordinated that teachers would even laugh their asses off at it... i would say one "fuck", he would say the next, then we would harmonize for the last "fuck you". soundgarden is best when experienced with good friends.

    and i love that soundgarden can have such a sense of humor, a lot of people probably assume theyre this totally serious "grunge band" because most of their lyrics are about depression and isolation...louder than love has gotta be one of the funniest albums i own, with this, "power trip", "full on kevins mom", and then the reprise of "full on kevins mom". so perfect.

    General CommentI find it incredibly ironic that a band like Guns 'n Roses would cover something like this, because Cornell wrote this as an attack on the cock-rock bands of the 1980s of which GNR was an integral part! Chris even said that the album title "Louder than Love" pokes fun at "heavy metal bravado." I also read that Kim Thayil said the band originally wanted to call it "Louder than Fuck." lol

    General CommentWhat deos it mean?

    Ever see a Warrant viedo?

    Sadly, it ceased to be parody when G & R covered it.

    General CommentIt's a parody of glam metal rock songs that talk about sex metaphorically, so they come right out and say it. Unfortunately, musicians today (not really musicians) don't speak metaphorically at all, and it's not for the sake of a parody. They're for real.

    General Commentthis song is supposed to be a parody of the 80's cock-rock, with all the songs about sex, but that don't get explicit on the subject.
    it's catchy as hell, even gnr made a cover of this one
