Songfacts®:

  • MFC stands for "Mini Fast Car." It was inspired by the small cars the band encountered in and around Rome. In the Seattle Times, Eddie Vedder said: "They've got really small wheels, it's amazing how fast they can go. It's kinda like me, yeah (laughing)." >>>

  • Pearl Jam's fifth album, Yield, was one where Eddie Vedder's bandmates got more involved in the songwriting, but "MFC" was written entirely by Eddie, music and lyrics.

  • Noah from Trenton, NjAs in the video shown here, Eddie often opens the actual song with an untitled intro song, which happens to be one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs ever.
