Too soon man, too soon. Then again, it will always be too soon.

@shuac: true, Kurt would agree with you:

from wiki:

In a January 1994 Rolling Stone interview, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain revealed that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was an attempt to write a song in the style of the Pixies, a band he greatly admired. He explained:[4]
“ I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it. When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily that I should have been in that band— or at least a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard.

Yeah it was manipulated. Apparently the guy with the youtube account where this vid came from specializes in that. I think he plays all the instruments individually in his studio then syncs then with a video. >> ^MilkmanDan:

I liked it. But wasn't the vocal track sampled straight off of the album version and then digitally time compressed to match the altered tempo? It had that slightly shrill sound that comes from time compression plus digital compensation for pitch.
So I guess I'm curious about how it was created.

>> ^Payback:
I don't think there's a person on this planet who can say, with certainty, that these aren't the lyrics Cobain is singing.


Actually, I've never had much of a problem understanding the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. A few bits here and there were tough to make out, but the single for Lithium helpfully came with a sheet listing the fully lyrics to the whole Nevermind album - should have been included with the album originally I suppose, but I don't think they expected anyone to care (ie, they had no idea it would blow up like it did).

"Tourette's" on the other hand is completely unintelligible. That could very well be a cover of Mr Astley's masterpiece.

Thanks for all the votes btw - I never expected this to hit the top 15. People's tastes here continuously surprise me.

The band that single handily killed the big hair bands. Thank god.

Thank God? Unfortunately, it also killed my way of making a living. You may be thanking God, but it left me homeless, and without a job. Not to mention the thousands of other folks who worked in the rock cubs that lost their jobs when a ton of the clubs that hired 70's, 80's, & early 90's style cover bands closed.

Not Nirvana's fault you didn't have a vocation beyond being a hair-flicking Ayatollah of RockNRolla. \m/ \m/ Rawk!

But then again, look how long "grunge" stuck around, and look where rock music is heading today. Right back to the hair band rock and roll style it was before Kurt the rest of them showed up. Don't get me wrong, I like this song and other Nirvana stuff. Hell, we played this song two times a night. And I loved singing it. (Used to do the Weird Al version for fun sometimes.) But, I guess it goes to show you that you really can't kill rock and roll.

Hey I was just the 87th vote.... weird!

Seriously though that's awesome. I still love listening to Smells Like Teen Spirit after any concert just to laugh.

sorry, dupe

Experiment: Turn off the viddy sound. Cue up 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' or some other similarly rockin' tune. Now start the song and the vid at roughly the same time.
