Single Name: Puss/Oh, the Guilt Nirvana song: Oh, the Guilt The Jesus Lizard song: Puss Released: 22 February 1993 April '92 saw Nirvana return to the studio for the first time following the huge success of Nevermind. Producer, Barrett Jones, had built a studio in the basement of the Seattle house he and his girlfriend shared with Dave Grohl. Gaar notes that Oh, the Guilt was released exclusively on Touch & Go Records as a split single with The Jesus Lizard at Cobain's insistence, although DGC did not want to give away another new song to another indie label. Jones recalls the session being "Quick and smooth", adding, "Yes, that's a lighter that Kurt was flicking in Oh, the Guilt." The cover art for the single is a painting by Malcolm Bucknall called "Old Indian and White Poodle". "Puss"/"Oh, the Guilt" peaked at number 12 on the UK singles chart; it was The Jesus Lizard's first hit single in the UK, and Nirvana's sixth.

The song was re-released in 2004 on the Nirvana box set, With the Lights Out, and in 2005 on the compilation album, Sliver: The Best of the Box.
