Hummus gave me a bit of scare when I first heard it. Let me share a small personal memory.

I was a college student living in a rented apartment and my roommates were all away for the holidays so I had the whole place to myself.
I would frequently play Yield real loud taking advantage of the situation, but I would always press Next on the stereo at the end of All Those Yesterdays because I thought there was some kind of technical error at the end of the CD. I mean, a long weird silence with nothing happening - who has time for that when you can just listen to Brain of J in all its glory AGAIN?

But this one time ATY was on while I was in the shower with the bathroom door open. Then silence. I'm still in the shower, thinking my shower thoughts and doing shower things. Then SUDDENLY there's strange music I had never heard before. I am absolutely certain it's not coming from any of the CDs I own, for sure! First thought is someone broke into the place. There's a burglar in the apartment with me and I'm in the shower naked. The burglar must think no one's home. He likes to steal things while his favorite music is playing, so he pops a CD he brought with him into the stereo. Makes perfect sense to someone scared witless, dressed in foam and armed with a shampoo bottle held like a knife. Oh god

And that's how I found out there's a hidden track at the end of Yield.

No, no. The call and response in Corduroy is much more irritating.

Yeah that isn't really a sing along though. I'm talking about when they sing so loud along with certain songs, Betterman(live), Alive, etc.

This has got to be the most cynical fan site on the entire internet.

I don't *love* everything Pearl Jam does, but I wouldn't describe any of it as irritating to me.

As for recent live versions of Corduroy -- I dunno, I think the back-and-forth between band and audience is pretty powerful, especially with this band. Is it like they used to do it? No -- but who cares?
