People don't know the true, tragic story behind this song. When Limp Bizkit was first coming up they had one fan...a young wheelchair-bound deaf child known affectionately as "Nookie." Nookie couldn't hear their music, but he loved the color red and from the moment he saw LB at the Battle of the Bands and Fred was rockin that red cap, it was love at first sight. Nookie became a fixture around the studio when they were recording their first demo, and it was Nookie who signed to Fred that he should slip that demo to the guys in Korn. Nookie was born with a heart defect...which is where this gets tragic. After the band's first album blew up on the strength of their George Michael cover "Faith", Fred and the boys decided to get Nookie cochlear implants. The implants were a success but tragically it enabled him to hear the band's music for the first time. Nookie became despondent and he was found dead in his room the following morning. He was 13 years old. Some say he died because of his birth defect, but others think he was simply heartbroken to realize the band that had given his tough life meaning was...well, you've heard Limp Bizkit. To honor their fallen friend, the band worked feverishly on a tribute to him...this song right here. The only thing is...Fred Durst would get emotional during the chorus, which was originally about how they did it all for nookie, and how he would take a cookie, and stick it in a- jar. He could never get those last words out- I forgot to mention, Nookie got his nickname because his name was Nathan but he was mad obsessed with Oreo cookies. He would carry around a cookie jar in his lap and people would put Oreos in said jar...so yeah, you can see why Fred had trouble there. They almost ditched the song, but that baseline was just TOO PHAT so instead Fred made all the lyrics about, like, a ho or some shit. So yeah, next time you're singing about sticking cookies in a YEAH please take some time out and remember the kid without whom this band woulda never got their demo to Korn...Nathaniel "Nookie" Jackson.
Loveee the Fiireeee intro it's Super Cool...Always loved this Banger Tuunee and Wes Borlands costumes and demon eyes...Thank you for sharing this!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

The extended intro is the icing on the cake 👌
The version they played at Woodstock!
Can you possibly make this song without the outro with the police and just the regular outro?
