Dave Grohl wrote this song. He did the singing, the guitar, and the drums. Krist did the bass.
Kurt wasn't there whatsoever, although it was him who decided to put the song as a B-side to "Heart-Shaped Box". And he did jam on it with Grohl, but it wasn't recorded.
As for what the song's about, I think it's about the lottery, and the guy has a winning ticket and some other guy is standing next to him and is scared he has the winning ticket. "Six color pictures, all in a row, of a marigold" - the six scratchcard squares all come out the same, so he wins the jackpot.

Just my interpretation.
Makes sense. First valid interpretation I've heard. Very chill song though, don't think it has a super deep meaning.
