Patti Smith released a cover of the song as the A-side of her first single, "Hey Joe" b/w "Piss Factory", in 1974.[46] The arrangement of Smith's version is based on a recording by blues guitarist Roy Buchanan[citation needed] that was released the previous year (and dedicated to Hendrix). Smith's version is unique in that she includes a brief and salacious—some would say tasteless—monologue about fugitive heiress Patty Hearst and her kidnapping and participation with the Symbionese Liberation Army.[47] Smith's version portrays Patty Hearst as Joe with a "gun in her hand".[47
"Piss Factory" is a protopunk song written by Patti Smith and Richard Sohl, and released as a B-side on Smith's debut single "Hey Joe" in 1974. In 1989, Dave Marsh placed the song on the list of The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made.[1]
