Great Tourette's song, really brought this illness into the light for me. For more on Tourette's see 'tourette's' by Nirvana. The lyrics aren't as good, in fact it's fucking impossible to distinguish what Kurt Cobain is saying, but that's the point, it captures the nature of the sufferer perfectly.
