Of course, as a young and impressionable listener when I first heard this song, at no point did I actually hear either side.

Of course, the band denied it even centred around sex, despite its total, noting it was about “control, violence and abuse of power”.

Featuring a powerful riff, unrelenting rhythm, and the forceful vocals of Scott Weiland singing some rather controversial lyrics, the tune was everything an alt-rock band would want as its first single. While most of the tracks from this polka mix ended up becoming fond favourites of mine, ‘Sex Type Thing’ really stuck for some reason.Ĭoming as the debut single released by Stone Temple Pilots back in 1993, ‘Sex Type Thing’ was a perfect introduction for the bang. In between songs by Beck, R.E.M., Nine Inch Nails, and more, was Stone Temple Pilots’ ‘Sex Type Thing’. As I discovered 1996’s Bad Hair Day album, I also came across ‘ The Alternative Polka‘, featuring a number of songs from the alt-rock genre.
