Here's some Primus sites&shit I have encountered in my travels:

A big thank you to the Primus FAQ and all of its contributers!
After seeing Les play this song on a video that somebody copied for me
(thanks again for the video, Dave) I noticed that Les strums and does hammer
Ons for this riff. I have rewritten it below. The important thing to
rememeber when playing this is to keep your strumming constant and hammer on
all of the notes with your left hand. The slap on the lowest note is done
on the downstroke strum, and isn't hard to work in to your strumming
technique. Make sure that you let the G-string drone on while you hammer on
the D-string notes.
V = downstroke strum
^ = upstroke strum
h = hammer
S = slap
(V) ^ V ^ V ^ V ^
| G | 0 (0)(0) 0 (0)(0) 0 (0)(0) 0 0 0 0 | |
| D | * 0 3h 5h 0 3h 5h 0 3h 5h 5h 5 5 5 * | |
| A | * * | |
| E | 3S | |
The fills are done with the same strumming (downstroke on the downbeat,
upstroke on the upbeat), except that the left hand remains still, fretting a
power chord first on Eb, then later on F.
| G | 8 | G | 10 | |
| D | 8 | D | 10 | |
| A | 6 | A | 8 | |
| E | | E | | |
This is played on a 6 string frettless, but I've figured it out
on a 4 string fretless. It can be done on a fretted, but it doesn't
sound as good. Drop the "E" to "D", and finger each note, until the
Intro/verseriff, which is slapped. The chorus is fingernail strummed,
with the low note slapped.
