==Music== The writing process varied from song to song. "Some came from Eric's bass lines," noted Navarro, "some from guitar, some came from Perry, some came from drum riffs, and some just came from free-form jams. There was really no formula." Avery wrote several songs, including "[[Mountain Song (Jane's Addiction song)|Mountain Song]]", "Had a Dad", "[[Jane Says]]", and "Summertime Rolls" (the latter two of which he also created the guitar parts for). For his songs, Avery came up with lyrical concepts that Perry Farrell would create lyrics for; for example, "Had a Dad" dealt with Avery discovering he had a different biological father.<ref>Mullen, p. 167</ref> "Jane Says" and "Pigs in Zen", which first appeared on the band's [[Jane's Addiction (album)|self-titled 1987 debut]], were rerecorded for ''Nothing's Shocking''. The later version of "Jane Says" features a steel drum while the spoken interlude in "Pigs in Zen" is completely different. "Mountain Song" β originally released in 1987 on the soundtrack for the film ''[[Dudes (film)|Dudes]]'' β was also rerecorded. Musically similar to the original, it is sung in a higher key, to be consistent with the rest of the record. The 1987 original saw a more widespread release when it was included on the band's 1997 outtake/alternate/live and new compilation ''[[Kettle Whistle]]''. [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] bassist [[Flea (musician)|Flea]] played trumpet on "Idiots Rule".<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Nasty habits |magazine=[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]] |issue=30 |date=August 2001 |last=Halbert |first=James |page=60}}</ref>
