Behind the Lyrics: Touch Me I’m Sick by Mudhoney
“Touch Me I’m Sick” is a song by the American rock band Mudhoney. The lyrics of the song are tongue-in-cheek and the song is often considered to be a parody of the Seattle grunge scene that Mudhoney helped to pioneer.
The lyrics describe a person who is “sick” and wants to be touched, possibly as a form of self-destructive behavior. The band formed in Seattle, Washington in 1988 and they are considered to be one of the first “grunge” bands, along with groups like Nirvana and Soundgarden.
Mudhoney’s sound is heavily influenced by punk rock and garage rock and is known for its raw, abrasive sound and lyrics that often deal with social and political issues.
Throughout their career, Mudhoney has released several albums and has been praised for their consistency and longevity. They have also been credited with influencing many other bands and musicians, and they continue to tour and perform to this day. In the early 1990s, the band was associated with the grunge movement and was part of the “Seattle Sound” along with Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains among others.
