FRED DURST Paints LIMP BIZKIT’s “Nookie” As A Surprisingly Sad Love Story

When you’ve ever heard Limp Bizkit‘s 1999 observe “Nookie”, then you realize the phrases and you’ve got positively shouted them at buddies earlier than. And whereas we have all most likely had a very good chortle at “Nookie” through the years, Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst paints the tune’s lyrics as surprisingly unhappy ones in a current interview with Dazed.

Durst mentioned the tune offers with him falling in love with somebody, and that somebody turning round and fucking different individuals behind his again. Durst notes that the phrase “I did all of it for the nookie” is extra about him staying and willingly struggling than merely leaving… which is surprisingly deep for a tune all of us thought was a goofy good time.

“The humorous factor about that although, no person listened to the story in ‘Nookie’ they simply listened to the catchphrase. It is like once I say Rage Against The Machine they take heed to ‘fuck you, I will not do what you inform me’, they do not take heed to the remainder of it,” mentioned Durst.

“‘Nookie’. The primary time I had been intimate with somebody it occurred later and I used to be very a lot head over heels in love due to that and I used to be simply that man. I used to be very a lot a weak individual in that world and I could not consider it even occurred. So I fell in love after which this individual was sleeping with different individuals and other people would say ‘Fred, you are so upset, why are you staying?’ and I would say ‘as a result of, we made love’ and I discovered a unique technique to say that: I did all of it for the nookie. That sounded extra enjoyable. So what I did it for then was the love. And what I do it for now’s for the love. I’ve a brand new daughter, she’s eight months outdated.”
