The Worst Nirvana Cover Ever

June 17th 2006 05:30

Nirvana

When I was a young punk, I managed to buy a cassette tape of Nirvana's Nevermind, a seminal early 90s grunge album.

My father wasn't pleased and he used his knowledge of pseudo-psychiatry to convince me that it would turn me evil.

Well, here we are, years later, and I'm plotting to destroy the world's capital cities with giant frickin' laser beams, so I guess he hit the nail on that one. Good call, Pops!

Yes, in those unsexy days, every high school band covered 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' which, I think, is still a damn good song.

What would it look like, I wonder, if three people who had no musical talent got together and covered the song, without practising or any musical passion.

Wonder no further!

The Worst Nirvana Cover in the History of Humanity!

There are only 2 covers in the history of music that aren't totally shite: The Fugees Killing Me Softly and Maxwell's This Womans Work!

really? I really like covers, when done well... such as 'Summertime' by Sublime, 'No Woman No Cry' by the Fugees...

how about those 60s English rock bands doing blues covers, like Led Zeppelin and the Yardbirds? Pretty good, pretty good.

And, shit, I *love* hip hop throwbacks, like Snoop doing Eric B. and Rakim!

You could even argue that there are a few covers that are even better than the original--the only one coming to mind right now being Joe Cocker's version of the Beatles' "A Little Help From My Friends."

Check out Wierd Al's cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit for some quality humour.
