Fun Facts: This song was featured in the 1992 film Singles, during which the band actually performs the song live in one particular scene, one of two cameos that Chris Cornell made throughout the movie. In 2010, the song was added to the Soundgarden compilation album, Telephantasm and the box set Echo of Miles in 2015. After the song was added to Echo of Miles, the band decided to put it in their set list, even though Chris Cornell could not sing as high as he did in the studio: "I sang it so high originally that I’ve got a whole lot of choices of where I can go with it. It makes it different but in a good way, it seems to me. It’s not screechy." Today marks the 25th anniversary of the original release of the Singles soundtrack.
