440. "Teenage FBI" Guided By Voices

"Teenage FBI"
Guided By Voices
Do The Collapse
1999

INSIDER ROCK KNOWLEDGE:
Unlike most GBV songs, which seem to be about paper clips or climbing trees or some other such randomness, "Teenage FBI" is about an actual event.
Granted, the event is Bob Pollard getting caught picking his nose by the high school students he was teaching, but it is a welcome moment of clarity in the Guided by Voices canon.

Got to love a band that makes a big push for popularity by releasing a fist pumping ode to digging one out and wiping it on the desk.
