"Mildred Pierce" is the eighth track of Goo, the sixth studio album by Sonic Youth. This song is based on the William Burroughs character in Naked Lunch. Mildred Pierce is a reporter covering the atrocities enflicted on civillians by soldiers during war. The music video begins with a movie marquee labeled with the video's name. The walk of fame is shown while the band plays the song in an open field and on stage.
