When Butthole Surfers remade their "Something" in the shoegaze or whatever style on Pioughd, what song specifically did they spoof? I always assumed it was Jesus & Mary Chain parodied in a non-specific way, but I learned it was of a certain song when I heard it recently in the coffee shop I'm typing from. I've only got Darklands and Psychocandy, and either it's not on their or I didn't pay much attention the first times through.
THANK YOU

It's their old song "Something" from the first EP redone as a "cover" of "Never Understand"

And it's not (really) a spoof. The Butts were big fans of Jesus And Mary Chain.
Any enemy of Rusk is an enemy of mine.
