Genius Annotation
The closest thing to an instrumental in their discography, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' “Cocks N' Asses” is a sound collage of chickens, or cocks, and donkeys, or asses, along with some scatting by Nick Cave. The song was originally released as a B-side to their 1990 single “The Weeping Song” from their album The Good Son. In the US, the song was retitled as “The B-Side Song”. It would later be collected on B-Sides & Rarities.
