Ok, I'm posting this tab as a gripe; I have seen WAY too many exaggerated/wrong tabs for this incredibly simple song. I'm 

here to set it straight.

In this song les uses his ebony 4-string bass, 'Antimatter', which is in standard tuning, EADG: like most primus songs.

Bring up your mids and treble until your tone is tinny as hell for this song, and keep the bass down so it doesn't rumble.

------------------------

^ - Flamenco picking (use even upstrokes and downstrokes)
S - Slap
H - Hammer-on
x - muted note
/ or  - slide
, - staccato (play the note briefly)
~ - vibrato

------------------------

4/4 time, but a bit faster... methinks the tempo is around 150.

------------------------

Main riff.

Think of all the notes in this riff above as eighth notes, 1 & 2 & etc, but make sure to follow the beat of the song
