Are you kidding, people? I thought Plush is the only song by Scott  :-

I HATE this song. This and arch angel are the 2 songs I do not like. I wish he could of put "Samba Nova" or "About a Fool" on the album instead.

Since they are STP songs....doubtful on a SOLO CD.


This song is absolutely beautiful and haunting, one of my favorites so far.

I think Learning To Drive was originally going to be included on the STP album No. 4, but it's written exclusively by Scott.  About A Fool and Samba Nova were probably written by Scott and one of the DeLeo brothers.

I personally love this song.  It's even better with the pre-chorus ("keeping up with the joneses") section.  

At the show at Hollywood/Highland Courtyard, Scott introduced this song by saying that it was the product of an "unofficial" side project which I can't remember what he said it was called.  Anyway, the side project was Scott, Doug Grean, and Michael Weiland.

In the album liner notes, the song is credited to Weiland/Grean with everything but bass and drums by Scott and Doug.

I'm guessing the base tracks were done by Scott and Doug at Lavish, and then the DeLeos added some overdubs on the Outtakes version.  The album version is fantastic.  Very Tom Waits/Kurt Weill/kinky decadent eastern-european vibe.

Yikes! The keeping up with the jones' part kills the song! It's seriously beyond horrible!
Dedicated. Disgusting. Disturbing.

I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round, and the music is too loud..

Looking at the song credits looks like "beautiful day/learning to drive" was helped by any members of  STP

I disagree.  I think it makes the song better.

What bothers me is the sudden abruption. It's a clunky transition.

Plus, I've been listening to the same song the past four years. I'm just used to hearing the demo version.
