Soundgarden were definitely the kind of band to toe that line, they were/are very wry and self-aware MFers.

I always thought in "Won't Get Fooled Again" it was "And the party on the left/is now the party on the right," but it's actually "And the parting on the left/Is now the parting on the right." Which I think is meant to convey the same meaning, but ... I don't see why it's not "party." Is Pete actually talking about ... the way people part their hair?

to this day I heard "this mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place" in Suffragrette City as "the smell of fried chicken put my spine out of place", even though I'm aware that is wrong.

For years I thought the first line of Keep Your Dreams by Primal Scream was "I believe that syphilis can burn your soul away." Not all that far-fetched considering the word "syphilitic" shows up in at least two other songs on the album.
