      There's Pearl Jam in general and then there's this, the pearliest of the jamination. I can't think of a better example of mumble rock - it's funny that we shit on mumble rap (I know I do) but somehow love this stuff.
      I'm autistic and I sing. I have a 'photographic memory' for sounds and can sing songs perfectly that I've only heard once. But most songs I couldn't tell you what they were about at all, I actually have to play them back in my head while actively trying to decipher them if I want to learn their content. I have been singing this song for YEARS and did not know the content of its lyrics until, I shit you not, last week. I swear whatever I've been performing bears no resemblance to the actual words supposedly being uttered. And people eat it up!

      @1SqueakyWheel Рік тому +3

      @DMK666 Yes! Ten was a great album. Far and away their best one ever. The rest of their albums just kinda sucked, and it was hard to care. But then again, this change was perfectly timed with the advent of Vedder sociopolitically sliding up his own ass, so there's that.
      It's a profound demonstration of how a band who reaches great success through the effort of trying hard, transitions into coasting and artistic laziness as they almost immediately sit on their laurels the moment after they suddenly make it really big, and just concentrate on churning out the same similar crap which they believe formulaically follows the recipe of their most successful breakthrough material, even though the underscoring spirit just isn't there, often missing the point entirely.
      I've always theorized this at least partially explained a good portion of one hit wonders.
      Fortunately for Eddie and the Jam, they managed to make it so huge with a whole first album that was seemingly made of gold lightening with smash hits like Black, Jeremy and Alive, that they have been able to coast for 30 years. Not many groups can do that, so props to them!
      It also helped, I suppose, that they were one of the top two most iconic bands in the scene when the Seattle Grunge sound first broke out, topped only by Nirvana. That obviously counts, heh!

    This style of “ruining” is amazing; would love to see more versions of this from you (complete with slide whistle, of course).

      This reminded me of the scene from Ted where he said music from the '90's could be sang with nothing but vowels.

    Fun fact. If you're just listening to this in the background, you may not even notice the difference -- at least until the slide whistle kicks in. 😄
