Composition
The song is known for its striking resemblance to the style of music which was popular in the 1960s. The song consists of a memorable opening riff, heavy use of the bass, and the use of a concert bass drum during the main chorus. The album (and this song especially) demonstrated a milestone in STP's sound, for a large amount of jazz fusion and trip rock could be heard throughout the album. Scott Weiland's trademark low growl was replaced with a higher croon.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
