Tabbed by Cam Joyce (djoyce@axionet.com).
I noticed a few tabs for frizzle fry on this page already, but
simplified my version down for anyone begining to read tab or play
Primus songs.
The only icons I'll use are:
p-pop
s-slap
v-strum (Les Claypool's flamenco style)
- when nothing is indicated finger pluck
r- rest
Intro
G-7-77777---------------------
D-------0-6p50-0p-------------
A---------------------5p------
E-----------------3/5---------
Note the 50 is play together, very fast, snap your finger off the
fretboard immediately after 5, like your playing the 0 one handed. IT
SHOULD STILL BE NOTICEALBE! but just for a brief second.
Main Riff- from "never fear your safe with me"

From here Les goes directly into the chorus from 3/5 - 5p and from

This is a fun song to play live. Just get an ADA bass preamp for
distortion and a nasty drummer. I played this at some arcade in NY
and got PAID. (Of course we played other songs) But who cares about
me. Just use that short bass interlude to get ready before the solo.
1: well,maybe

For those morons who just got a guitar from daddy yesterday, palm mute
means to put your picking hand palm on the strings just touching the
bridge enough to limit the duration of the string vibrations, but not
to completly deaden the string.
Palm mute....... PM.......... PM..........

Sorry about the timing, it's not exactly easy to be precise here. But
if you have any sense of rhythm you should get it.
I'm not gonna do the solo, since it's just improv (Eb minor scale or
something). It would also defeat the purpose of playing a song
arranged like this one. Just remember to keep those highs ringing. Or
try to play it like on "Suck on This"

I think there's a bass tab already posted. It's fairly accurate, but
it's not like this is an extremely hard song on bass.
