Mudhoney - Overblown Lyrics
Everybody loves us
Everybody loves our town
That's why I'm thinking lately
Don't believe in it now
Hey!
Hey!
It's so overblown
Everybody loves us
Man, they give me the creeps
And you're up there shaking and flexing
Display you're the macho freak
Now you got their attention
They gave you your very own spotlight
Just like some real rockstar
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
It's so overblown
Show 'em Stevie!
Got a sack full of candy
All I got was a rock
It's got you by your big business boy
Nice to know you're packing extra socks
Everybody loves us
Everybody's getting kinda old
Couldn't hold a regular job
Long live rock'n'roll
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
It's so overblown
Overblown
Overblown
Overblown
It's all over and done

Mudhoney Overblown Comments
The Singles soundtrack has Alice in Chains best song, Mother Love Bone's best song and a truly epic Screaming Trees (secretly the best of the Seattle bands) track, but this is the best song on it.
So great.
The Stooges would be proud of this song...
Fun fact: mudhoney was paid $20,000 to record this song which only costed them $164. They pocketed the rest. 😎
That's a lot of beer money.
Everybody loves us
Everybody loves our town
That's why I'm thinkin' lately
Time for leavin' is now
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
It's so overblown
Everybody loves us
Man, they give me the creeps
And you're up there, shirtless and flexing
Display of a macho freak
Now you've got your attention
And you've gone so very far
They gave you your very own spotlight
Just like some real rock star
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
It's so overblown
(Show 'em Stevie)
You got a sackfull of candy
Oh, all I got was a rock
They got you by your big business boy
Nice to know you're packin' extra socks
Everybody loves us
Everybody's gettin kinda old
Couldn't hold a regular job
Long live rock'n'roll
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
It's so overblown
Overblown
Overblown
Overblown
It's all over and done
Supposedly this song is about Chris Cornell
Rayla840 the song is about the Seattle “grunge” explosion in general. But the lines about “flexing” and being a macho freak are about Chris Cornell according to Mark Arm
Rayla840 why would it about Cornell? I'm intrigued
I believe that this is your answer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNh-iw7gsuI
What really sucks is this song isn't offered as part of a digital download when you buy the album in iTunes. Fuck it, I'll just buy the album and rip it to my device. I'll show them Stevie!!
The Movie Hype is a Must See
Hype Best Describes The Seattle Scene ! The Word Grunge Came from None of the Bands! Another Industry Title that keeps the shelf life Low
"Couldn't hold a regular job. Long live rock 'n' roll!" Arguably the best lyric ever. This song is hilarious in the fact they were asked to do a song for the "Singles" movie soundtrack, and they wrote this song like mocking the whole scene, haha. It's fucking great. They like only spent $160 or something to record it, but got paid thousands for the soundtrack. I think they all bought houses after that paycheck.
Raw Grunge! I miss the 90's
"Show 'em Stevie!"
Cadê o filme completo?
I like it.
The song is too raw!

@beeswaxlike well you were on the right track. it's people who become famous but it's a joke that they are (ie cobain being god) when they are just another one of the group. And in reality, as kathleen hanna says, real musicians have day jobs. Mark Arm works in the sub pop warehouse.

@mlgmoxie Haha, fuck that ruined it for me after over 12 years of knowing it. I don't listen to all the words carefully, so I just assumed the point was that a lot of ppl will move to Seattle to make it and then face hard reality and end up working at fast food joints. What's the real context and the full lines?
@beeswaxlike
....packing extra socks.
although technically sauce would work with all the beer.
@mlgmoxie no prob.
NEXT THING Y'KNOW YOU'RE PACKING EXTRA SAUCE
extra socks
thank you for the upload. the other one on here is not good at all.
