All versions are similar, using parts of the same footage with some minor differences and shown in different orders. There are at least three different versions of the video, labeled "X Version", "Y Version", and "Z Version". The music videos (directed by Kevin Kerslake) were in heavy rotation on MTV when the single was released in 1994. Alternatively, it is believed that the name is a portmanteau of "Vaseline" and "Gasoline", which may be an allusion to a chemical mixture that is popularly known to be the composition of a flammable compound similar to, if not that of, Napalm. The over-the-counter balm after which the song appears to be named is spelled Vaseline.
The riff, however, is an alternating sixteenth and eighth note pattern as part of a 3-beat rhythmic figure played over a drum beat in 4/4 time, creating a rhythmic tension and release that is characteristic of such figures. By itself, the riff sounds something like swung eighth notes alternating between the musical notes F natural and G natural.

A live version also appears on The Family Values 2001 Tour compilation.ĭuring STP's performance of "Vasoline" on VH1 Storytellers, Weiland says that the song is about "feeling like an insect under a magnifying glass." "Vasoline" also appears on the greatest hits compilation album Thank You. The song's lyrics were written by vocalist Scott Weiland. The song's odd-sounding intro was created by Robert DeLeo, who ran his bass through a wah-wah pedal to get the said effect. The song was the second single of the album (and also the second most successful, only behind "Interstate Love Song"), reaching #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for two weeks. "Vasoline" is a song by American rock band Stone Temple Pilots from their second album, Purple.
