It's still pretty weird today (I am 20). It seems like it's comprised of a bunch of different songs that share the same chords put together. Which it probably is. It changes keys right in the middle for no reason, has flanging and chorus effects hammed on to it wherever there's room (or not). It's a mad-house!
It's one of those songs that was always going to be a b-side. Could you imagine this song on Siamese Dream? No.
But of course, it's charming to me. It's so strange, but it starts so compellingly. The first fifteen seconds have such a nice little build-up that when things start getting weird ten seconds later, you don't really mind.
By the end of the song, the bass gets grungy and everything falls apart. It's a perfect end to such a strange little gem, no? With songs like this, there are two ways of ending it: a) have it fall apart, or b) have it explode. This song hasn't exactly cornered the market on a), but I'd say it does a pretty fair job.
