“Ty Cobb” was originally titled “Hot Rod Death Toll”, but the lyrics reminded Shepherd (bassist) of the infamous baseball player Ty Cobb.  He holds the all-time career batting record (.367), but he is also well-known for his womanizing, alcoholism and racism.  The song is infamous for its 21 utterances of the word “fuck” second only to “Big Dumb Sex” (36 utterances) among Soundgarden songs.
