Spank Thru Lyrics

This song is for lovers out there
And the little light in the trees
And all the flowers have gingivitis
And the birds fly happily
We're together once again my love
I need you back oh baby baby
I can't explain just why we lost it from the start
Living without you girl you'll only break my heart...
I can feel it I can hold it I can rub it I can shape it
I can mold it I can cut it I can taste it I can spank it
Beat it
Masturbate it
I been looking for days now
Always hearing the same ol' city boy
Won't you spank through?
I can make you do things you won't think you ever could

Spank Thru

This is often credited as being the first ever Nirvana song. It appears on several early demos, including the infamous "Fecal matter demo" which Kurt Cobain made with friend Dale Crover in 1985. The only released version is the live version off the Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah album. The song itself appears to be about masturbation.

Jack Endino produced the demo of this song that made its way to Sub Pop Records owners Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman. Pavitt was not impressed when he heard it. In our 2013 interview , he recalled listening to the song with Mark Arm of Mudhoney . "We thought the arrangements over a lot of tracks were a little too busy," he said. "The track 'Spank Thru' has a lot of different changes. And the band, as they evolved, became more minimalist and hypnotic and that's where a lot of their power came from. So their songwriting really kept getting better and their stage performances kept getting better."
