Big Dumb Sex by Soundgarden

If you're offended by foul language, don't push play on this one. I think they use the f-word dozens of times on this song. It's pretty funny. I don't think they took themselves especially seriously. This blog post needn't be long. This is from the second Soundgarden album Louder Than Love from 1989, it was one of my favorite albums when I was about 12, the same year i saw my first show which was The Cult. At that point the term grunge didn't exist yet, so Soundgarden at that point were viewed more as being a metal band, if perhaps an odd one. They got airplay on MTV's Headbanger's Ball. They opened for Voivod at that point along with Faith No More. I'm not a fan of Soundgarden's 90's work, but Louder than Love is a good album. That tour in 89' with Faith No More and Voivod must have been truly something to behold. The Cult, Voivod, very early Soundgarden- hey those bands actually aged better than the hipster Williamsburg bands from the 2000's. The Strokes already sound dated! Here's a good live version: If you really want to charm the ladies, start singing this to them at the supermarket...THEY'LL LOVE IT!!!
