"Prior to entering the studio, Kurt had a list of eighteen songs he was considering; twelve from the list would ultimately end up on the finished album, but with their titles shifted considerably. The song that eventually was called '
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter' started life as 'Nine Month Media Blackout,' Kurt's not-so-veiled response to the
Vanity Fair piece. '
All Apologies' was originally titled 'La, La, La...La' while 'Moist Vagina,' a B-side, began with a far longer and more descriptive name: 'Moist vagina, and then she blew him like he's never been blown, brains stuck all over the wall.'"
