Songfacts:  You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.

Although the written lyrics were done by lead Drummer Joey Jordison, the words at the end of the song were completely improvised by lead singer Corey Taylor.

This is the last song on Slipknot's self-titled CD. About 3 minutes after the track ends it is followed by a hidden track called "Eeyore." (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for above 2)

Slipknot is an unlikely success story: a 9-piece group from Iowa playing very aggressive music. When asked if he was surprised that this whole thing worked, Slipknot drummer Chris Fehn (#3) replied: "I wasn't. The songs are just too good, and the players are just too good. It was like it was meant to be. And then when you throw in our stage presence and the things that we do on top of that, it was just kind of like a no-brainer that this band is gonna be as big as it was, to me. I mean, we'd still be doing it if it wasn't. I just knew it from the beginning, that this band was going to be something special, and the world needed something like this." Asked about a particular song he feels is very strong, Fehn said: "The song 'Scissors' off of the first record is sick, man. It's just so incredibly nightmarish and such an awesome song to play live." (Thanks to Chris for speaking with us about this song. Read his full interview in the Songfacts Interviews.)

Yes bubba, Slipknot took a time machine 8 years into the future and recored 2 girls one cup. Here's your sign.

It sucks that they haven't played it live more often, but it definitely has been performed live more than once. The lyrics at the end though in concert never live up to whats recorded on the album.

Bubba, how could that possibly be the audio of Slipknot watching 2 Girls 1 Cup, when this song came out in 1999, and 2 Girls 1 Cup didn't come about til at least late 2007.
- Broc, Ass, ME

eeyore at the very end of the track is just the audio recording of the band watching the video 2 Girls 1 Cup

I love this song. Its filled with a mixture of emotions and insanity, and it is by far one top five songs on the album. I love how it starts off quiet and how it enters into the insane screams.

the section where you hear the puking is actually a test to see if the new bandmember (Chris Fehn) is good enough to join the band, and is sick enough. They watch a porn-movie with poop-sex in it. If you listen it closely you can hear them say things about it. The bonus track Eeyore is about a man at concerts they know from the local-places they played that always beated up girls and little kids. Also is said that the song is made cause they were in the studio and they were watching television and they suddenly saw Winnie the Pooh, they got inspired by Eeyore.

After scissors ends theres a lot of silence then you hear something about someone puking. ive never actually listened to the whole section where they're talking, but i think its shawn. I read somewhere it was initiation.
