Lyrics

Load up on guns; bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

If Kurt didn't like this song because it was popular then he was the most popular hipster of all time.
I love how this is faster. Sounds cool

mr.dirtyd

shajenwright
This song f**king rocks :Þ
I feel bad for Kurt because he didn't like this song because it was so popular :(
nothing but good 80's music i would have loved to have been around those years to go to some of the concerts then

In the muppet movie, it sounnded stupid, even tho I like the muppets.
'I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now entertain us' best lyrics ever! It summarizes the whole song as a whole! one of My all time fave song
Kurt once got punched in the face at a concert of his and everyone in the crowed beat the guy who punched him up
I love Kurt Cobain. Kbye
Did u know that in a concert Cobain actually made up random words to this song and no one noticed?
Song
Faster or slower I still love this aong
I love how its faster and Nirvana rocks it out!
lobsterquadr i l l e . t b l c
Its faster obviously but I dont think it sounds like Cobain. oh well maybe I'm just stupid and contagious.
jbachm3962
i wonder if he even thought the lyrics mattered in this song. and yeah, it's way faster
yep - when first hearing this, as the first guitar riff came in I had this moment of doubt about the drum intro but, of course, Grohl just kills it. Gotta love the out-of-contr o l feedback too - that's the way to do it.
pmcclain74
they play this a LOT faster in this recording
eh its ok but i like the one on nevermind better
cheshirecatb a n
too much b**chin' people; I never knew the lyrics till i read 'em here- better than I thought....
awesome song, but that guy on american idol killed it
ya qiut complaing seattle, all we have is 3oh3 n breathe carolina
"A mosquito, my libido" Love it.
"Seattle's only got Nirvana and Alice in Chains" and Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Tad, the Melvins, Green River, Skin Yard...
This actually sounds better than the studio version.
i have this album, somewhere.
Awesome live, awesome tempo, awesome vocals, awesome solo. Nirvana!
jackleonhart
pssst, kyle, you forgot soundgarden and pearl jam. and those were just the mainstream ones

About the song, Krist's bass sounds absolutely dirty during Kurt's solo. Listen for it
kylebb7
Seattle's only got Nirvana and alice in chains, so I dont think you can say they made the best music! Still great song with sped up tempo
sounds soooooo fast..
HEY
hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello...
For example "our little tribe" as opposed to "our little group"...
Sometimes he purposely sang the wrong lyrics live
...Almost sounds like he's saying "halo, halo, halo, how low?" in this version...ev e n if he isn't, it's interesting to think about...
Is it just me, or does he totally not know the lyrics to his own song? I swear he says "With the lights out/ entertain us/ Here we are now/ entertain us"....multi p l e times.
good song. i can play it on a guitar 2 easy!!
live is better!!
stil good song
why can't i see the lyrics for any of the songs i listen to on pandora? its pissin me off!!!
They're correct
Perfect lyrics, but for the wrong song... (Lithium)
neojdl2
these are the lyrics for lithium not smells like teen spirit

My current favorite song.
no they didn't
misterbasto
Seattle made the best music!
great song!!
