Anyways, beautiful song. As someone else previously said, I could listen to Scott sing "honey" and "sugar" all day long...

That was me.  And I still stand by it.  :)  Love the song.
How could they not notice it?! Because it's a little mint.  It's a Junior Mint!

Love it.
When STP had a cookout after filming the video for the Core single "Plush," Weiland made jerk chicken that was "spectacular," Dean raves.

Been down with the Bagman since day one!
 
Not sure why everyone was so bent out of the shape over the lyrics. Scott has written worse IMO.
Dedicated. Disgusting. Disturbing.

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

I voted for "I like it but the lyrics are just meh" but thats only because my actual opinion of the song wasnt really a choice in the poll. I don't love the song, I just think it's "pretty good." Not STP's best, just one of their weaker songs imo. But to me, a "weak" STP song is still a good song I can enjoy haha. I like Bagman, I'm just not crazy about the structure of the verses and the chorus. However, I love the song's bridge (another one of their amazing ones) and Dean's solo is perfect. So yeah Bagman gets a little love from me, no way would I say I hated the song
My STP shows: 8/10/2008, 7/19/2009, 10/10/2009, 5/22/2010, 4/26/2011, 4/24/2015   Weiland solo: 1/29/2009, 11/29/2012, 3/13/2015    VR: 8/5/2007

I just really love the groove of this tune .. the only minus is the abrupt start of it.

Probably my least favorite off the new album, but a good song. The bridge and guitar solo are my favorite parts of the song.

And Tyrant, it's a killer tune live; especially the guitar solo.

I love it. It's in the perfect place in the album too, between Hazy Daze and Peacoat (my two favorites), and from what I saw in some videos is awesome live. I liked it a bit more when I realized. And I loooooove "I know it feels good" ;D

This is one of 3 songs from the new album that are still on my ipod.

TALO is good(ish), Bagman is good (Great solo), Samba Nova is good, and should have been included on the regular album intead of the deluxe version.

I voted OK as it sounds like Batman to me from the Adam West TV show. One of the CDs songs that just makes you go Hmmmm not one you have to hear more than a few times.
