Hole's hybrid cover of Beat Happening's 'Hot Chocolate Boy' and the Germs' punk classic 
'Forming', from their EP, 'Ask For It'. Not sure why the song is titled in the order it 
is, as 'Hot Chocolate Boy' comes before 'Forming'. I'm presuming that the part played by  
Guitar 1 is Courtney Love, and Guitar 2 is Eric Erlandson, but I could be wrong.

     He's always waiting 
     Gotta make the move to tell her 
     Hot chocolate boy 
     He's never met one 
     Hot chocolate wet one 
     Hot chocolate boy 
     Deep, sweet, and bitter 
     Spoons and a plate for breakfast 
     Hot chocolate boy 
     Hot, frosty, creamy 
     He was only dreaming 



Then play this before launching into 'Forming'...

    We're coming out 
    You know what it means to alone 
    Empty 
    Hold them down

    Pull my trigger

    I'm bigger than... 
    I'm bigger than...
