One of the ultimate Beavis & Butt-head classics. I mean, who doesn't remember the line about "There should be more fat people in videos. And spit. Spit is cool!"? 
Anyway, this was where Les Claypool's bass attack got perfected for crossover AND artistic appeal. The lyrics, as always, don't mean shit. But it's all about that bass, baby! And the undeniable "my name is Mud" hook.
Of course Primus shouldn't be at all blamed for influencing a fair number of nü-metal turds in their wake, for it's not their fault that most of them were generic where Primus were creative and original. Life sucks sometimes, doesn't it?...
