Mondo Generator (sometimes known as "Nick Oliveri And The Mondo Generator")… Read Full Bio ↴Mondo Generator (sometimes known as "Nick Oliveri And The Mondo Generator") is an American punk/hard rock band fronted by Nick Oliveri.

Nick Oliveri (under the moniker Rex Everything) formed Mondo Generator in 1997 and with friends Josh Homme, Brant Bjork, Rob Oswald, and others, recorded the debut album, Cocaine Rodeo. The LP wouldn't be released until 3 years later due to Oliveri and Homme being full-time members of Queens of the Stone Age. The album was released by Southern Lord Records in 2000. There was little support of the album by the way of live shows, and the band gained cult status among the most devoted Queens of the Stone Age fans.

In 2003, the band again emerged with a new LP, A Drug Problem That Never Existed. This time, Oliveri hired on more friends for recording duties including Dave Catching, Troy Van Leeuwen, Josh Homme, Brant Bjork, and Molly McGuire, and Dwarves frontman Blag Dahlia for co-producing duties. It was released jointly by Mike Patton's label, Ipecac Recordings, and Homme's Rekords Rekords. The live band, which included Oliveri, Catching, Bjork, and McGuire, went on a three month tour of North America and Europe to support the disc.

In early 2004, after Oliveri was fired from Queens of the Stone Age by Homme, he announced that Mondo Generator would become his full-time project. He recorded an acoustic record, Demolition Day, and toured Europe with Brant Bjork and Mark Lanegan Band. He then recorded an EP with Catching, McGuire, and Alfredo Hernandez. On the summer 2004 tour to promote the disc, Oliveri physically assaulted a sound crew member of a German night club after complaining about his sound through a few songs during the band's set. The other members of the band were furious and left Oliveri behind and returned to the United States.

In 2005, Oliveri once again toured Europe frequently, opening for such bands as Motörhead, and playing along-side and on stage as a member of Dwarves. Oliveri also recruited UK band Winnebago Deal's Ben Perrier and Ben Thomas to join Mondo Generator on tour. They were frequently dubbed "Winnebago Generator" by fans. The three-piece entered Dave Grohl's Studio 606 in Los Angeles in December 2005 to begin work on the next Mondo Generator LP. Oliveri also hired on several friends from his hometown to record parts of the record, which was co-produced by Nick Raskulinecz and Oliveri.

In July 2006, it was reported that Perrier and Thomas had exited the band under unknown circumstances. Oliveri then re-named his band Nick Oliveri and the Mondo Generator and signed to Mother Tongue Records, who then released the new LP, Dead Planet: SonicSlowMotionTrails in the United Kingdom and Europe in September of 2006.

Jr. High Love
Mondo Generator Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmmhmm, it's hot

There's a party in your mouth
And yeah, I'm gonna come
Lift your skirt up
Spread your legs and unload my gun
I unload my gun

Cause we were young
In jr. high love, we were young
In jr. high love, we were young
In jr. high love, oh yeah

Well then I bent you over
Put champagne up your cunt
Fuck your ass, kick you out
There's no doubt
I kick you out

Cause we were young
In jr. high love, we were young
In jr. high love, we were young
In jr. high love, oh yeah

Jr. high love, yeah

In jr. high love, go

Cause we were young
In jr. high love, we were young

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are very controversial and disturbing. The first few lines describe a sexual encounter in an extremely explicit and vulgar manner. The singer talks about "unloading his gun" while the person he is addressing lifts her skirt and spreads her legs. The second verse is equally disturbing as it talks about putting champagne up the person's genitals and engaging in anal sex before kicking them out.

Line by Line Meaning

Mmmhmm, it's hot
It's getting steamy and intense in here.

There's a party in your mouth
You're making me feel good.

And yeah, I'm gonna come
I'm about to reach my climax.

Lift your skirt up
Let's get this started.

Spread your legs and unload my gun
Let's have sex.

I unload my gun
I ejaculate.

Cause we were young
We were inexperienced and naive.

In jr. high love, we were young
We fell in love at a young age.

Well then I bent you over
I changed our sexual position.

Put champagne up your cunt
I added a new sexual element.

Fuck your ass, kick you out
I engaged in anal sex and then ended the encounter.
