Recorded right into the mixing deck during the Nevermind sessions, this song is a two-and-a-half-minute punk lambasting of the typical "Macho Man." In addition to being about sexism, the song is also about the way Kurt Cobain saw Native Americans treated around his home town of Aberdeen, Washington.

Along with "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Nirvana played this on their first Saturday Night Live appearance, after which they destroyed their instruments. The episode was on January 11, 1992.

The beginning features Krist Novoselic singing part of the 1967 Youngbloods song "Get Together." "Maybe some baby boomers will hear that and wonder what happened to those ideals," said Novoselic.
