• This early Primus song plays on the phrase "Dogs of War," implying that most soldiers are puppies and are too young to fight.
• This song is different from most Primus songs because it is guitar driven, not bass driven, and it doesn't have a guitar lead. >>

• This was Primus' second single, following "John The Fisherman." It's part of Frizzle Fry, their first studio album, which found a small but loyal audience and led to a deal with Interscope Records.
• This was the first song Les Claypool wrote for Primus, which at the time was called Primate. It's dear to his heart, and is one of the songs the band has played most often in concert.
