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:

—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Every thing in his composition was little; and he had all the weaknesses of a little mind, without any of the virtues, or even the vices, of a great one.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
