…the key line in this song came from a misheard lyric: His parents put on the Eagles song “Life in the Fast Lane”, and Weiland thought they were singing, “Flies in the Vasoline.” I also came across on interview on where Scott talks about this song. It’s about lying to Jannina and lying to the band about my heroin addiction.” “is about being stuck in the same situation over and over again. Per his autobiography ‘ Not Dead and Not For Sale’ (a reference to this song BTW), Weiland states the song… The song’s meaning is rather dark and sad, especially now that Scott has passed away. The pedal sweeps the peak response of a frequency filter up and down in frequency to create the sound, a spectral glide, also known as “the wah effect”. Here is what wikipedia says…Ī wah-wah pedal (or simply wah pedal) is a type of electric guitar effects pedal that alters the tone and frequencies of the guitar signal to create a distinctive sound, mimicking the human voice saying the onomatopoeic name “wah-wah”. As I am a fan and not a musician, I had to look up “wah wah pedal”. Robert DeLeo ran his bass through a wah wah pedal. In researching the song, I found out how they came up with that sound effect on the bass. The song is short at under 3 minutes, but what an impression it leaves. The guitar solo is also fast, but impactful. I also dig the uptempo, fast driving feel to the song. What do I like about this song? That opening bass part is flat out amazing. The most successful song was “Interstate Love Song”.
Billboard Rock Album Tracks chart for two weeks. It is also the second most successful song they had. The song was the second single off their second album ‘Purple’. This is one of my favorite STP songs…one of many. For My Sunday Song #53, I have gone with “Vasoline” by Stone Temple Pilots.
