"Frogs" is a song from the Alternative Metal band Alice in Chains off of their third album of the same name, at track #11.
It is considered one of their most technical songs, featuring many displays of pinch harmonics, and odd scales. The song's sound and feel fit well on the album.
It is also well known for its quiet, synchronized lyrics from the 5:14 mark, and reflects front-man Layne Staley's vocals at their darkest. The lyrics for this part are not included in the booklet for the album.
It was also performed at their Unplugged performance, with Staley improvising much of the lyrics in the bridge section (as he may have done on the album). The performance of the song at Unplugged to this date is the only known live performance of the song with Layne Staley.
It is also their longest song reaching the 8:18 mark, and the Unplugged performance at 7:30 (also longer than any of their other songs).
