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:
“There is singularly nothing that makes a difference a difference in beginning and in the middle and in ending except that each generation has something different at which they are all looking. By this I mean so simply that anybody knows it that composition is the difference which makes each and all of them then different from other generations and this is what makes everything different otherwise they are all alike and everybody knows it because everybody says it.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
