- Tomamama, on 07/02/2008, -1/+37Reminds me of one of my all time YouTube favorites. Except instead of Pearl Jam, it's a church:

- drewfer, on 07/02/2008, -0/+19"I don't want a whale in a box or in a bag." I guess the song protests animal rights.
- jakefloyd, on 07/02/2008, -0/+17That and "Make me fries" made me laugh to the point of pain.

skip to 1:01. - woofers07, on 07/02/2008, -0/+11One of my favorite Eddie Vedder songs and I still don't know half the lyrics
- danconia, on 07/02/2008, -0/+9i'm pretty sure he changes the lyrics up all the time anyways.
- carthach, on 07/02/2008, -1/+10Not to be hateful, however... RAMBLE RAMBLE RAMBLE
- MrTito, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7I wanna leave Bennigan's - on a wheel, on wizard, on a whale.
- ps3udonym, on 07/02/2008, -3/+9Retarded password policy dig. Thanks for reducing the answer space for us and making it easier to hack!
For the record, the lyrics to that song to the best of my, and several other's ablities. This was several months worth of work to figure out.
Yellow Leadbetter
Unsealed, on a porch a letter lay.
And I said, I want to be there agian
Once I saw her, on a beach of weathered sand,
and I said I want to be there again.
On a weekend, I want to wish it all away.
And she called and she said that I know what you said
and I called out again.
And the reason, aught to leave you calm I know,
and I said I don't know if I am the boxer or the bag!
Oh ya, can you see them.
Round the porch, but they don't wave.
Yes I see them, round the front way, ya
yes I know, I know, I don't want to stay.
That is the first part and what I can recall off hand. The part ".. And I said I don't know if I am the boxer or the bag" has always been in huge dispute as no one has ever figured out what he actually says there. I have the rest written down some place but it basicly repeats the first verse again. I LOVE playing this on open stage nights, doesn't matter WHAT you sing!
Enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krJwrcAIj3k - PhattyMcGee27, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3A b&w picture of JImi Hendrix playing guitar. Not sure how it fits. Apparently subliminally. Pause and unpause real quick like and you'll see it. I don't feel like uploading a screenshot.
- mcfly99, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3Just sing the words in the video...no one will know the difference! Great song, great band.
- MadHarvey, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3You worked on that for months? I just looked on the Internet... I guess I cheated.
- TheSuperunknown, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3No, I'm glad avatarpalin brought that up. More bands should follow their example and release ALL their live shows. FLAC, DRM free MP3s, and physical CDs are a great selection on top of that.
- obliviousfool, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Old, but still funny.
- EricAnderton, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Thanks for that.
- cam0man, on 07/02/2008, -1/+3vedder's voice was supposed to just act as another instrument in this song, not be a vehicle for words....so you'll never be able to break the entire song down into concrete words.
- db0255, on 07/02/2008, -2/+4i always do this to songs.
- blackhappy, on 07/02/2008, -1/+3I use to think the Offspring lyrics to Genocide was "Donkey Kong, everyday, on our fellow man we play" I learned later is was not. "Dog eat dog, everyday, on our fellow man we prey" are the real lyrics
Years later I driving in a car with my buddy when it came on and randomly he start singing Donkey Kong, everyday" I about ***** my pants with laughter! - davdev, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Interestingly if you go to PearlJam.com they have a list of all their songs, and almost all of them have the lyrics with them. Yellow Ledbedder does not have any lyrics on the site. I went to see them 2 nights ago, and was hoping they would play this, but they didn't. Great show otherwise though
- mttyd, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Make me fries...
- zunkus, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1In an actual interview with Mr. Vedder he admits that the lyrics change each time it's performed live. So guess what, everyones wrong!
- bunnyman1, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Uh I mean, nickles and boobs.
- mecharabbit, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1and Mike McCready changes the outro solo all the time too, sometimes incorporating his favorite riffs from other artists
- da_dude, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1I am literately crying
- cavie2002, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1WHAT THE ***** IS GOING ON WITH THIS MCDONALDS CHICKEN AD
- avatarpalin, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Cheers thanks, no this wasn't an ad I was seriously passing on something that I thought was pretty cool, they were doing DRM Free way before iTunes or even amazon, and in some cases the songs are 30c each.. So if you like Pearl Jam it's a great way to get a live set.
- bigfatdummy, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1I have listened to this so many times over the last year or so that I actually sing most of these lyrics when the song comes on the radio. Potato Wave, Make Me Fries, & Whale in a Box or in a Bag are some of my favorites.
- MasterGrief, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1http://www.kissthisguy.com/
The archive of misheard lyrics. I stumbled upon it a while back and I think it's pretty relevant here so there's the link. - inactive, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1I agree with cam0man, there's not much of a lyric to this song. But if you go to songmeanings.com an interpretation is posted there.
- whatsthatsmell, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1i hear "nipples and dimes" every time too!
- nickert0n, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1Benny Lava's for everyone!
- nickert0n, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1LOL Omlet
- williamlee, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1Wow. All these years, I've gone without knowing the actual lyrics to Genocide.
- Hefelumpman, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1dammit.
