Mudhoney's early releases on the Sub Pop label, particularly their debut single "Touch Me I'm Sick" and the Superfuzz Bigmuff EP, were massively influential on the Seattle music scene. More than almost any other release of the era they inspired the dirty, high-distortion sound that would become grunge. Later on, Mudhoney also mixed heavy blues rock and punk rock into their sound at various stages. Although the band has found little commercial success during its long career, which has yielded 10 studio albums, it has inspired countless grunge and alternative rock musicians.
The instrumental song "Magnolia Caboose Babyshit" is a cover of "Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger" by Blue Cheer, but the song is still credited to Mudhoney. The album, when bought as a new vinyl record, is also packaged with a poster of the band (Photo by Michael Lavine). The poster features the band in a blue filter and says "Mudhoney. The album is out." as well as the SubPop and Au Go Go logos.
Overdrawn In need of cash Not a job in sight Let's rob this goddamn bank, you know The next thing I know We had eleven people sprawled out on the black and white tiled floor While the manager stuffed our flower pillow cases full of green Stepping over the unarmed guard And stepped into daylight And into a right bad dream, now Underide You by my side Smoking tires Underide Underide You by my side Underide Never thought we'd get away with it Much less get out of that bank alive From here on out it was just a matter of driving There weren't limits in my confidence With a tank full of gas A trunk full of cash And two miles to the state line And a county full of roads to get lost in We had it made I was so glad I didn't hear that screech Because our plan was working Underide You by my side Smoking tires Underide Underide You by my side Underide I don't know where a lot of sirens and a sudden lightning storm The only thing that made any sense was this guy and his fricking face This guy kept smiling at us "What are you looking at? Lets get the fuck out of here," she screamed I pushed the gas pedal out of the bank parking lot And into the back of a Chevron Tanker Oh, baby, I lost my head Oh, baby, I lost my head Oh, baby, I lost my head Looking at you Oh, baby, I lost my head Oh, baby, I lost my head Oh, baby, I lost my head Looking at you Underide Flame and fire Smoking tires Underide Underide You're out of sight By my side
