From the album Last Splash (1993)
“I Just Wanna Get Along” by The Breeders appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2002. It was first released in 1993 on the album Last Splash. Its best result is #1977 on the Fred XM Top 2002 Songs of All-Time (July 2002). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #7,657 alternative song of all time.
Kim Deal wrote "I Just Wanna Get Along", words and music, then passed the lead vocal to Kelley Deal, and that handoff gives this Last Splash track its offhand, sideways charm. It came out with the rest of the Breeders' second album on August 30, 1993, by which point the band first put together as a side project for the Pixies' bassist had turned into Kim's main recording outlet.
Kelley plays guitar and assorted other instruments next to Kim's guitar, Josephine Wiggs holds down the bass, Jim MacPherson drums, and Kim and Wiggs chime in on vocals. Kim co-produced it with Mark Freegard, who also engineered. Later on, the Prodigy lifted a sample from it for "World's on Fire", a track on their album Invaders Must Die.
