About Pork Soda by Primus Album
Pork Soda is the third album by Primus. Released in 1993, "Pork Soda" is considerably darker than any of the band's earlier efforts, dealing with murder ("My Name Is Mud"), dissatisfaction with the human race ("Nature Boy", "Welcome to This World"), suicide ("Bob"), and inconvenient realities of life ("DMV"). It was a certified Gold record shortly after its release and is currently certified Platinum; it is Primus' largest seller to date. Track listing # Title Length 1. "Pork Chop's Little Ditty" 0:21 2.
