Originally called “Oraled” in the early 90’s, “Bored” is the first song and second/last single off of Adrenaline.

Chino Moreno talked about the struggle of naming songs, including this song, in an interview with SPIN magazine:

It’s funny, ‘cuz early on, I used to butt heads with the A&R guy at Maverick Records, because I would always try to name the songs something way off, something different. Even the song “Bored,” you know, the chorus goes, “I get bored, I get bored, I get bored.” So me, the song was called something else, [and] he goes, “You gotta call the song ‘Bored’”… I was like, “What about Radiohead? They have that song ‘Paranoid Android’.” I was like, “When do they say ‘Paranoid Android’ in the song? [They don’t], but doesn’t it just draw you in?”

The single was released on April 4th, 1996, and featured a music video directed by Nick Egan.
