My Name is Mud Lyrics

My name is Mud
Not to be confused with Bill
Or Jack or Pete or Dennis
My name is mud and it's always been
'Cause I'm the most boring sons-a-bitch you've ever seen
I dress in blue-yes navy blue
From head to toe I'm rather drab except my...

    The guy at the beginning said Tommy spat because he's a retard.

    It's about a farmer who kills his best friend and buries him in mud

    I have no full interpretation but I would like to add that the title and frame is based off of a preexisting idiom. "Your name is mud" was a term used to describe somebody who has lost respect. Their name is dirty and they are not to be trusted. It's basically calling them a piece of shit. Does Alowishus sound like the kind of guy who's earned a lot of respect or trust?

    you people are retarded. it's about a hick in the woods who's shoes get stepped on by this rude dumb shit and once confronted, mud: or alowishus devadander abercrombie, being the hilljack that he is, kills the dumb son of a bitch. which is why he goes into talking about making his shoes shine, regardless of his usual garb being rather drab. he's from the boondocks you know. not a very deep meaning to the song. definitely a deeper meaning to the video, but definitely not the song.

    both wrong. It's based on a true story somewhere near the bay area, were les was born. And it was about this redneck bastard who killed people and was nasty as hell.

    WRONG! why do you people think just telling the reader what happens is the song is somehow the interpretation? So foolish and so ignorant. My name is mud is about an ego that is uncontrolable: MUD. How Les descripes his life and his existence you get an image of a very grotesque person. Welcome to this world then explains this dimension where MUD lives

    My name is mud is about someone with a bad temper who kills his friend. Hence the lyrics: "6 foot 2 and rude as hell, I gotta get em in the ground before he starts to smell" or "Tommy spat, so I kissed him upside the cranium with an aluminum baseball bat"
