It Wasn’t a Snowplow That Wrote This Sponge Hit

MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

On March 9th of 1995…
this song was on the move

and would eventually climb to #5 on the Modern Rock chart.

Sponge.

“Plowed.”

(Music Cut #2)

The song came from their debut album

Rotting Piñata.

The band wanted to capture that Detroit garage energy,

so they tracked the instruments live in the room.

(Music Cut #3)

The song’s lyrics came from an equally ordinary moment.

Singer Vinnie Dombroski

didn’t write “Plowed” in a studio.

He wrote them on a Sunday afternoon in Michigan,

while shoveling snow in his driveway.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Will I wake up? Some dream I made up
No, I guess this is reality.” – Sponge
