[Spoken interlude]:

That's such a nice cunt
I wish I knew how to dance
Just leave it Kim

[Verse 1]:
I'm not stoned but I wanted to tell ya
When I'm in the mood, I could think of playing there
Going to Seattle where the rock's so heavy
With all them sex dogs in my Chevy

[Verse 2]:
At the ecstasy party, everybody look at me
Cool, give it dude, we're plastic like you
Going to the show that rocks all night
And everyone I hate is at the party tonight

[Chorus]:
I said
Sub Pop rock city
Sub Pop rock city
Sub Pop rock city
Rock city

[Spoken interlude]:
Hello
This is Jonathan
Hey Jon
I just want to know what the heck is going on
Well, you know, we have this problem
What the heck is going on?
Yeah, ok, do you think you would have too much trouble
If we got rid of our sideburns?
At your earliest convenience
Well, you said that before
But do you think Bruce would mind?
This is Bruce Pavitt
Bruce, I mean, ok, can we have our drummer back Bruce?
Bye

[Chorus]:
Sub Pop rock city
Sub Pop rock city
Sub Pop rock city
Sub Pop rock city
Sub Pop rock city
Sub Pop rock city

[Spoken interlude]
I just want to know what the heck is going on
Heavy, bummer lady
Bye

Soundgarden

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
