Songfacts®:

  • The title track to Faith No More's second album, "Introduce Yourself" is a band competition, with lyrics started by keyboard player Roddy Bottum and completed by lead singer Chuck Mosley, who reveals on the track that he still wets his pants. In our interview with Mosley, he said of the track: "It's just introducing yourself: 'This is who I am. An obnoxious, loud-mouthed, idiot. [Laughs] Don't care about s--t, and don't take no s--t."

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganCouple o' things: I don't speak Spanish. Does anyone know what "Para Tiempo" and "Nada Nunca" translates to? And also does anyone know and can explain to me the people referenced in the the third verse (Mr. Biggs, Mr. Bestall, etc.)? You'd be doing me a huge solid if you could help me out. Thanks.
