It appeared on their 1996 album, Electriclarryland, and reached number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. It was the top ranked song of 1996 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. In Australia, the song peaked at number 15 on the ARIA Singles Chart and number four on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 1996;[3] it was the 77th highest-selling song of 1996 in the country. It also reached number 32 in New Zealand and number 59 in the United Kingdom. Composition and lyrics"Pepper" opens with the chorus guitar riff, slowed down to half speed. The song shifts from spoken word verses to sung choruses. The lyrics of the verses list ten characters and describes how some either die or escape a brush with death. Each incident, whether brought about by recklessness or meaningless bad luck, finds the victim romanced or invigorated by facing death. The relationship between the lyrics and title is not made clear, nor is the exact connection between the different types of piqued awareness presented in the different sections. The title may be a reference to the lead singer's father's local television personality, Mr. Peppermint. The song also contains the bridge played in reverse. The reversed words are the first and last lines of the chorus: "I don't mind the sun sometimes; the images it shows; you never know just how you look through other people's eyes." The song is in the key of G major. Music videoThe video for "Pepper", directed by Gavin Bowden, features 1960s style news clip-like footage of a group of people being arrested in a Texas hotel for kidnapping while newscasters and cameramen crowd around. The kidnapping victim, rescued by the police, is portrayed by Erik Estrada. Singer Gibby Haynes is portrayed as the ringleader, and is shown being interviewed by reporters as police gather evidence. The newsreel segment is filmed in 16mm black and white, and is broken up by 1960s-style color footage, showing the band performing on a show much like American Bandstand. This performance footage is interspersed with 1960s style enactments of cooking and variety shows. The police and Estrada are repeatedly shown eating corn from a can, which, according to the director, is "a reference to the way videos are made; how directors have to have this shot and that shot – how they're spoon-feeding images to the audience."
