Corduroy is the eighth track on Pearl Jam's 1994 album, Vitalogy. The song has become a concert favorite, although in concert it is generally played at a slightly faster tempo. It begins with an eerie riff played as an arpeggio of the first two notes of a power chord. Then the song lifts off, proceeding with a structure of verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-verse. Although not revolutionary, the song structure is not completely normal, as almost no lyrics are repeated (including choruses) and the fade-out of the song begins after a verse rather than the traditional ending of a song after the third chorus. The lyrical content can be interpreted in many ways, but one common theory is that they are about the pressures of fame. The song was included on Pearl Jam's greatest hits album: Rearviewmirror: Greatest Hits 1991-2003.
