Songfacts®:

  • MFC stands for "Mini Fast Car." It was inspired by the small cars the band encountered in and around Rome. In the Seattle Times, Eddie Vedder said: "They've got really small wheels, it's amazing how fast they can go. It's kinda like me, yeah (laughing)." >>>

  • Pearl Jam's fifth album, Yield, was one where Eddie Vedder's bandmates got more involved in the songwriting, but "MFC" was written entirely by Eddie, music and lyrics.
