Lyrics   status: confirmed

My friend Goo has a real tattoo
She always knows just what to do
She looks thru her hair like she doesn't care
What she does best is stand and stare

She can play the drums in tune
And the boys say "Hey Goo, what's new?"
My friend Goo just says "P.U."
My friend Goo just says "P.U."

I know a secret or two about Goo
She won't mind if I tell you
She likes to wear green underwear
And lays down most anywhere

She doesn't have nothing to do
And the boys say "Hey Goo, what's new?"
My friend Goo goes "P.U."
My friend Goo goes "P.U."

I know a secret or two about Goo
She won't mind if I tell you
I know a secret or two about Goo
I know a secret about Goo and you!

And she sticks just like glue
And the boys go "Hey Goo, what's new?"
My friend Goo just goes "P.U."
My friend Goo just goes "P.U."

Goo goo goo
Goo goo goo
Goo goo goo, my friend Goo
Goo goo goo, talkin' bout Goo
Goo goo goo, my friend Goo
Goo goo goo, you would too
Goo!

NOTES:

• Written by Kim on guitar.
• Music video directed by Thurston Moore (filmed on an 8mm camera, it seems). Mike Watt explains who "Goo" is while Kim (dressed entirely in pink and wearing a mini Marshall Stack) and Joe Cole (a close friend of the band whose death inspired 100% and JC) dance and sing along to My Friend Goo, playing on a turntable. Also features many shots of Raymond Pettibon drawings (Goo was a character in Pettibon's film "Sir Drone").
• Unlisted footage at the end of the "Screaming Fields of Sonic Love" video features young relatives of Thurston singing "My Friend Goo".

ALTERNATE VERSIONS:

• 8-Track Demo
