“Cure for the Itch” holds the distinction of being the only song performed solely by one member of the group. Joe Hahn, the band’s DJ, spins and scratches over complex and often unpredictable drum programming.

The title, “Cure for the Itch” can be viewed as having two meaning. A craving is often described as an itch when the cure is related to drugs, sex, or even music.

Alternately, one scratches an itch just as Joe Hahn scratches to create this incredible instrumental. A music video was created for the song of just Hahn’s scratches.

The song was sampled on a later Linkin Park song with Black Thought on vocals titled “X-Ecutioner Style."
