isn't it called "hey foxymophandlemama, that's me" anyway?
And yes, it counts.

I think it's referred to as both in the artwork, Stupid Mop is just quicker to type.falcaoruiz wrote:isn't it called "hey foxymophandlemama, that's me" anyway?

it is the mystery of the danceBirds in Hell wrote:On what basis does Stupid Mop not count? It's on the tracklisting, not a hidden track. It's inarguably the final song on the album, even if you'd prefer it wasn't.
It is officially called both things on the original packaging.Birds in Hell wrote:I think it's referred to as both in the artwork, Stupid Mop is just quicker to type.falcaoruiz wrote:isn't it called "hey foxymophandlemama, that's me" anyway?

While on the subject, this surfaced about a month or so before your return. In particular, check out the 29:13 and 38:24 mark.Ms Harmless wrote:"Stupid Mop" and the other instrumentals on Vitalogy are the most experimental this band has ever been; "Stupid Mop" has texture and depth, a strange creeping dread combined with a kind of voyeuristic sympathy for the child speaker of the song; it's a flash fiction psychological horror, and it closes Vitalogy perfectly; if the criteria for this ranking was "closer most appropriate to the themes of its respective album", it would be at, or near, the top

Credit where due, from the Vitalogy thread.joostone wrote:Found on reddit:
Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me (A.K.A. Stupidmop) original video found
A bunch of people said that the voices in Foxy were from Frontline and an episode called A Matter of the Mind, but no one appeared to have actually digitized the episode. I have found the episode and I can confirm that is true and I have uploaded it unlisted on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R18bky9RRXs
At approximately 29:10 is when the Foxy lyrics start for example. Also at 38:25 she says "hey foxymophandlemama, that's me".
If the episode has already been discovered and digitized then I'm sorry, as far as I knew people have still been searching for the episode online.
Inside Job is terrific. I remember thinking (hoping) that it might be a sign of where the band would be headed with subsequent albums - getting more expansive, almost into prog territory. But they did quite the opposite with Backspacer! I do think they've perhaps picked up some of the threads of Inside Job on Gigaton, though.Anders wrote:Still, I can see myself getting tired of listening to it. It has sort of a bleak sound. I know Inside Job has a bad reputation around here, but I like how it has all those glorious guitairs. This never goes to such a place.
Ha, that's a great call. I was trying to remember who these drums sounded like.armstrsj wrote:I've struggled to get into this one. I would have preferred a stripped down version. The drums are a bit too Phil Collins...but who knows it could be a grower...
