"Red Mosquito" is a song by Pearl Jam that appears on their 1996 album, No Code. The song also appears on the band's 1998 live album, Live on Two Legs.
[edit] Lyrical meaning
The lyrics for "Red Mosquito" were inspired by Eddie Vedder's stay at a San Francisco hospital in June of 1995 after suffering from the effects of food poisoning.[1] The band was scheduled that day to play at Golden Gate Park in front of 50,000 people. Vedder left the hospital to play the show, but only managed to make it through seven songs. Neil Young filled in for Vedder for the rest of the show that day. Because of Vedder's health the band was forced to cancel the remaining dates of the short tour that they were on.[2]
