I remember back when this came out the rumor was the singer gargled with concrete mix to condition his voice like that. Yeah, we were pretty stupid in the 90s. Has anything really changed though…?
This was the first cassette tape I asked for. Before that I had a Michael Jackson tape and a 'Simpsons Sing the Blues' tape. They were good, but I didnt ask for them. CTD was the first band I was 'into'.
In all honesty when I first heard the song that part was very annoying initially, but it really sets apart and eventually it turns into an earworm and everyone is humming it just quietly later in the day.
