"Days of the Week" Song: Well, "Days of the Week.".Changed for the Video: The video version of "Creep" has the verses completely re-sung by Weiland while apparently keeping the original versions of the choruses.Broken Record: The chorus of "Art School Girl" is: "I told you five or four times!" repeated over and over.After changing their name from " Mighty Joe Young," they briefly went by the moniker: "S hirley T emple's P ussy."

The band's only recorded material with Chester Bennington, featuring "Out of Time." The band's comeback album, featuring: "Between the Lines."

This album featured heavier influences from Psychedelic Rock and even Britpop, making it the first Stone Temple Pilots album to receive very good reviews. Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop (1996), featuring: "Big Bang Baby," "Lady Picture Show," and "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart." Probably the band's best example of Word Salad Lyrics.
