Kurt Cobain forgets Polly Lyrics

[JSchreib610]

he doesn't forget the lyrics it's live and he is talking about smoking "hollywood cigarettes"....

[hakaangh1106]

Nice slideshow

[Lucke97]

did they film this with a toaster?

[Fiakosorio]

IT´s was in ARGENTINA.... YEaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!

[cobainLvado]

if i had a pennis for every pixel of this video i would have a pennis.

[whothefislate]

@cobainLvado actually this video doesn't have that many pixels. The more pixel you have the better quality you have..

[foxrider883]

he did it on purpose it was a statment making fun of the hact that hollywood cigarettes sponsered this concert youtube search  Nirvana - Smoke Up! (Hollywood Rock Cigarettes)

[foxrider883]

it says "hollywood smoke" because hollywood smoke is a cigarette company that helped sponser one of thier concerts. they were making fun of them .. read the description in this video /watch?v=l0_S_EdZ_I8

[nagfreas]

Lol that dude is hilarious

[JeffroTV]

Kurt always changed the lyrics to his songs. That's the way he was.

[stutes8977]

he didnt forget the lyrics you dumbfuck

[CellPhoneLawlz]

Was this filmed on a calculator?

[fatazzwhale]

@CellPhoneLawlz the TI-84, as a matter of fact

[DemonZack666]

@CellPhoneLawlz No it was filmed in brazil :\

[MrDrSadie]

He didn't forget them he changed them ;')

[GIMMA96]

he was fuckin drunk or stoned, be honestly.

he was honest too

[addictioner]

And its fun to fuck with dave

[addictioner]

Lol man he makes up his own lyrics during live shows all the time thats the best part of grunge music!

[iMovT]

He didn't forget the lyrics i saw the whole concert he was smoking a good cigarette during this song and love buzz and he wanted to sing about that. One time in a concert in argentina he mumbled the entire verse for come as you are. He's been singing polly since the late 80s I doubt he forgot the lyrics

[TestAccount0123]

So what? It just sounds like hes mumbling. Didn't sound like he forgot them.

[SuperShagme]

lmao dumb ass

[TJMFREINDS13]

fail



[BlingMikzy]

kurt has done it to many songs where he changes the words like smells like teen spirit words change: load up on drugs kill your friends. instead of: load up on guns bring your friends.

[MrsNancy1297]

He didn' forget. He's smiling. 

[nirvanarools1989]

He didn't forget his own lyrics.... He was just fuckin with dave

[jonanjello]

@nirvanarools1989

I agree. At that moment, it's the bored trickster in Cobain

[SithAssassin91]

He didnt forget he was messing with Dave

[GneshGnesh2837]

@SithAssassin91 ...daves not here maaaannn

[SithAssassin91]

@GneshGnesh2837 yeah he was there i saw an actual clip of that performance :P

[NatalieOso22]

he didn't forget... he was just kidding

[theuncanspan]

ever heard of trippin'?

[SPETSNAZLLAMA]

probably just high



[dtothez187]

It's a bout a girl who was going to a rockparty and got kidnapped by some old redneck with a trailer behind his car. He kept her in there for a long time, and tortured her with a blowtorch,knives and other stuff and he did rape her. The song is about the instinct of the girl, so first she shows her normal instinct, like "this is not what I want, and i need to escape",but she finds out she cant just escape, so she acts like she likes it, gets more freedom and escapes.That's what the song is about

[violetprincessgreen8]

my name is Polly

[ramc157]

@violetprincessgreen8 would you marry me???xDDDD(im jocking)

[violetprincessgreen8]

@ramc157 LOL plus why'd did you say

[ramc157]

@violetprincessgreen8 bacause i love that name and you are fu%&$· hot!!  ; ) xDDDDD

[violetprincessgreen8]

@ramc157 Awww that's sweet. X3 Bet you're kinda cute yourself.

[ramc157]

@violetprincessgreen8 thanks,you must be the most beautiful person in the world

[violetprincessgreen8]

@ramc157 You are the sweetest person ever. I'm gonna send you a friend request okay.

[loudrockacdc]

i laugh at the stupidity of some of your theories about this. aliens sent mushrooms into his brain to capture his musical geniusness and take it back to their home planet. this was a side effect of it. in the end kurt had to blow his brain out to stop the aliens from taking it, and ultimately save the earth.

[johnnystones169]

@loudrockacdc who the fuck came up with that idea?

[loudrockacdc]

@johnnystones169 well its quite obvious really

[cassieainsfan]

who cares,?

[azrial4421]

Be careful of those wary blowtorches, apparently they will rape you.

[sqwuade]

Lol, I don't think he really cared what the lyrics were at that particular moment.

[PJsthehobo]

definately didnt forget the lyrics, he, as the writer, has the freedom to change the lyrics as he pleases, album version or not

[dinovibes1]

If you notice, he was just messing aroung with Dave ;b

[Superturbosierra]

He didn't forget them he was high and drunk, and that hollywood smoke thing was the joke they said before that song in that show, and also the tobacco he smoked there.

[carlesdiazzz]

MAybe he forget the lyrics but this is a especial song for him . This song is about kurt's friends.

[PJsthehobo]

@carlesdiazzz it isnt about his friends, polly is about a girl who is kidnapped and repeatedly raped...

[pigfarts992]

its about a girl who was raped with a blowtorch...

[greenday2themax]

@pigfarts992 raped with a blowtorch? She was raped and then tortured with razors and a blowtorch but its pretty fucking hard to be raped with a blowtorch.

[pigfarts992]

@greenday2themax you know what i mean. that would really hurt.

[Rollngstonesman1]

He was just messing w/ Dave, in the real video you can see him laughing

[WAITilikecookies]

Cobain played with the lyrics so many times. I don't know if he even really put much thought into his lyrics. I think he just did them.

[rocafella142]

He didn't forget the lyrics he was singing about a brand of Cigarettes

[kinhotas]

totally hiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

[xBenjaxGuitar]

hahahahaha :D

[BangWutang]

Kurt did not forget the lyrics, He was messing with Dave. Kurt was feening for a cigarette; hints the lyrics.

[Brain245able]

You can DEFINATELY , i mean DEFINATELY see that he is messing with Dave. I saw Kurt smiling close to the end of the video

[starsaunt]

Tss, He didn't forget the lyrics, he was just messing with Dave..

[sLiPeLazMF]

pizza god hahahaha

[ranciddogs]

he didn't forget the lyrics. he talks abou "hollywood smoke". hollywood is a brazilian brand of cigarettes that promoted nirvana shows in Brazil. he's criticizing hollywood cigarette.

[Beastl1kenick]

haha he didn't forget the lyrics.But kurt did "sometime's" forget lyrics and made them up on stage but he did this on purpose because hollywood rockfest was sponsored by tobbaco company's and before this song he kept talking about how he cant get enough of that smoke thus changing the lyric's of "polly" to be about smoking.

[hvmrnr]

haha he is so buzz xd WE LOVE YOU KURT !

[LeOnIdAs162]

is the last word telephone ?

[starsaunt]

@LeOnIdAs162 it is, he was messing with dave..

[Musicmagnet1]

instead of Polly wants a cracker he should have said Have I said it backwards? xD

[Casebomb]

of coarse its real that he forgott them! he was always fucked up! why wouldnt he forgett them?

[kyleb337]

@Casebomb Look at him smiling. He's messing with Dave who is trying to sing the harmony, but Kurt says different words and Dave can't follow. It's Kurt being Kurt.

[bongeggs]

sometimes it's hard to remember lyrics when you've had too much holiday cheer

[ReDeaMzSniping]

101 people remember the lyrics to polly

[Sunlightcauseshadows]

@ReDeaMzSniping well they dont appreciate dave for saving the day either ;p hehe

[1958debs]

He forgot the lyrics because he did too much horse. Look at his watery-ass eyes.

[littleme313]

Dude, he was just fucking with Dave.

[mossberg451]

ive read that he did sometimes forget lyrics

[MsLouie76]

hey dude maybe you edit this video....you fake it..... he's kurt cobain the great...

[geofftheginger]

he didnt forget them and hes to goddamn good for jim morrisons elvis coppying ass

[QW5ub255bW91cw]

Maybe he was trying to copy Jim Morrison's lyric changing when, even Jim would drift off from the "original" lyrics.

[sovereign2017]

Dumbass!

[richthebast]

i once read somewhere that he did it to fuck with dave or something lol

[wiri123]

HOW THE FUCK IS HE GOING TO FORGET POLLYs LYRICS!?!?!? IT DOESNT HAVE SENS HE OBVIOUSLY CHANGED LYRICS LIKE MANY OTHER SINGERS ,SOMETIMES THEY DO, BUT FORGET THEM???? NEVER!"!!!

[deimachy]

If you listen to the bootleg for this entire concert, they were joking about cigarettes or something before they played Polly, so Cobain just changed some lyrics around to keep that going. This was entirely intentional.

[Summerloveee09]

Kurt didn't forget the lyrics. He wrote them. And even if he DID forget them, he just didn't, 'cause he's Kurt Cobain.

[DBC98989]

@Summerloveee09 other than the last part that is why i believe he didnt forget them im a lead singer/ rhythm guitarist and ive written over 20 songs so i can see how he might forget the lyrics to a song sense he wrote over 100

[JAAmusic2010]

not him, thats fake or it would have been an actual video that you could watch, not some crappy blur, want the real video of the song type in nirvana - polly 01/23/93

the account for the video will be BBBwagggan

[yael3010]

sometimes he's just changing the lyrics on stage

ofcourse he didn't forget em

[AllTheSmallThingss]

DEAR ALL ROCK AND NIRVANA FANS, FEBRUARY 20TH IS KURT COBAIN'S BIRTHDAY. THAT DAY WE WILL ALL VISIT THE "SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT" VIDEO, LIKE IT, AND WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. NOT ONLY WILL IT PAY BACK RESPECT TO HIM, IT WILL ALSO HELP NIRVANA GET TO THE TOP OF YOUTUBE AGAIN. THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT AND REPOST THIS ON ANY NIRVANA OR ANY ROCK VIDEO.

[Thousanere]

thats that OG Remix style!!

[joejj94]

cualquiera puede cometer algun error

[theswamp339]

They're his lyrics. Who cares if he forgot them or if he was just having fun.

[pipus789]

He didn't forget the lyrics he used to do that all the time , he used to do that to see how the song looked like at the end.

[Tombstone34]

If you watch a video of the actual performance you can see that he is fucking with dave on the vocals

[TheWshadows]

ahh he doesn't forget the lyrics he do a remix ;D

[colashanacogh]

well it's hard to play a guitar, sing, be a demi-god, have chronic stomach and lung pain at the same time.. you can see how he was put off.

[MuayThaiViking]

Im not an expert but wasnt it typical grunge to not making everything so streamlined and perfect? many of their live songs have different lyrics, as if kurt made them up during the performance. and his solos where much more heavy and chaotic than on the albums

i dont mind, feels like theres more soul and feeling in their music

[GustavoGroove]

Live in Brazil rio de janeiro! eu moro no brasil!!! mais não no rio de janeiro moro sem São Paulo

[bubi8894]

recorded with a texas industries calculator.

[marky0009]

He didn't forget the words. He used to "improvise" all the time because he was tired of singing all the time.

[ironmaiden12341]

He could do so, no one didn't care :P he could change solo's and other parts in some songs

[MDFANXD]

Or does he say 0:22 telephone :D

[CodeDarkBlue]

sounds drunk to me

[patrickparks22]

kurt did that cause he couldnt stand playing his songs the same everynight there is an interview on here about it

[MrBeanieman94]

@patrickparks22 Your right I saw it too.

[TwistedDoomGuy]

he is piss drunk! -.-

[wuchessinfantry]

he did this all the time intentionally

[hollow121314]

He didnt forget the lyrics, even before the song they were talking about cigarettes nonstop. During the song at many points he would sing about smoking and stuff it was hilarious

[DenRyslige]

Is this  in highdefinition? must be atleast 1080?

[CristoCountPro]

ROFL this is completely on purpose. Come on now, any proper Nirvana knows this.

[TheMetalHorde]

I doubt he forgot the lyrics. Being a huge Nirvana enthusiast back in the day, I came across many, many bootleg songs of Kurt singing with different lyrics.

[fusilados]

@TheMetalHorde i watched a video of come as you are live and he sings the second part of the song at the begining

[papavereus]

@TheMetalHorde good point. Having changed the lyrics, and improvising a bit, Cobain was just having fun.

[EddieMachetti]

@TheMetalHorde agreed. like when they did All Apologies Live at Reading for example.

[6aokan]

@TheMetalHorde He was just messing around with Dave,he had hard times remembering the lyrics but he still did remember them :)

[Nirvanafrikozz]

Dude, can you see he is chillin?

[3R3BU5GAT35]

haha he did say hollywood smokes... "a reference from earlier in the show"

[arthas640]

kurt cobain often sung songs with different lyrics, he would change up the wording, idk why though

[wesker3099]

XD XD

[KodeBmac]

lol he didnt forget the words he was taking the piss

[MxSmack]

This is not his voice.

[Vandalism99]

@MxSmack yes it is i thought that too but he sang polly like that live

[365247520]

@MxSmack ARE YOU RETARDED

[MxSmack]

@365247520 Haha take it easy I Vandalism99 already told me that is him and I belive him.You don't need to kill me for that. ^^

[TheMetalHorde]

@MxSmack Funny, since it was recorded professionally. I've seen this clip before and can verify it is real.

[pennyroyalkurtgrl]

haaaaaaaaa lol

[sucodefeto]

he sings "hollywood smokes" making fun of Hollywod Cigarretes, a brazilian brand, the sponsor of the festival. It was at the Hollywood Rock Festival, in Brazil.

Before the song, Krist made some jokes about it too, like "I smoke hollywood cigarretes, cool and fashion flavour".

[Buddyvision2010]

@sucodefeto

nirvana's music inspired me to write this moving and thought-provoking poem about the life and times of kurt cobain

there was a young grunger called kurt

whose feelings were irreversibly hurt.

in lieu of disgrace

he shot himself in the face

and now he smells worse than a turd.

[refusedchad]

@Buddyvision2010 that doesn't even rhyme, dude

[Robertus1989]

he didnt forget them, he's just trying to mess with Dave Grohl who, along with drumming, was doing backing vocals. lol

[witchever99]

hes human big deal

[MoreSinner]

Kurt didnt forget the lyrics. he sings something of "hollywood smokes..."

[theredkatana]

kurt was known for switching around words. during teen spirit he'd sometimes sing 'load up on drugs, kill your friends'. he also always would say lyrics were unimportant to the emotion of the music itself; all that was necessary was the vocal element. even if he did forget them; who cares? do you have any idea how common it is for singers to garble or forget words every so often? usually no one even notices.

[VictorRechnageL]

Ofcourse he didn't forget em, if you listen to any of their live-concerts, theres always some song where he does this in.

[agumon12]

He's just having fun, he even admited sometimes he does forget the lyrics. but most of the time, he just plays and sings what he's feelin.

[ItsNotColdEnough]

He forgot his OWN lyric! how shocking! Why don't you get a band start playing live and we'll see how well the lyrics come to you. It happens man, sometimes you get caught up in the sound and you just make something up.

[drunkmachine21]

even he forgets it or not. its still fuckin cool! r.i.p kurt donald cobain.

courtney love rot hell.

[drunkmachine21]

@drunkmachine21 rot in hell courtney love

[LaOndaMagica]

how dare you make fun of kurt

[Dorkmonkey7]

It sounded like he forgot but he also sounded wasted, so that might explain it. Some artists, though, change their lyrics on stage on purpose to change the mood or explain a song. I know Gerard Way does it a lot.

[Wantedskate]

If he did forget, it doesn't matter... Every singer forgets the lyrics some times...

F*** you!

[cjellwood]

sounds like garbled shit to me. Maybe teenagers can understand this language lol

[ThePretenderHd]

@cjellwood fuck you nirvana were and still are amazing!!

[WizzleThump]

I like how you can hear dave ad libbing too. lol

[foxfucks]

fuck u!! yeah i like this song, not your fucking ass video with your fucking ass title you whore....don't be misunderstood, or even overwhelmed. you cocksucking kid!!

[foxfucks]

fuck u!!!

[MrFr1as]

rest in peac e

[Ju1ceem4n]

just so you know he had slight shorterm memory loss

[Astharot90]

He is the best. and His concerts too... are the bests i have ever seen and heard!!!!

[metalingus03]

Is it just me or he really didnt forget?

Because Dave Grohl is backing him up with vocals and they are saying the same lyrics, I dont know lol

[MidgetTossing101]

fuck you, what gives you the balls to ever make fun of a genius like kurt cobain you dick sucker, fuck you.

[LOVEBUZZED1]

its his fukin song he cn say wat he wants

[125guitarmaster]

@ 0:16 did he say "pizza guy"?

[crazylegomanboy]

@125guitarmaster he was so drunk and it sounded like "pizza god"

[Brain245able]

@125guitarmaster Nope. He said "Pizza god"

[DrCepbIu]

LordOfKarma, ur right< only fools can think sm think(Hello from RUS Kurt)

[Jyiannaros]

He didn't forget the lyrics, he was purposely singing them differently to throw dave off because apparently dave had some affiliation with hollywood smokes.

[JoeAdams96]

he didnt forget he was tryna be funny. he always did that

[beethovenfan3]

@JoeAdams96 thats right! he had a sense of humor about life that was so refreshing and pure. he was a diamond of a person - a true inspiration to me, at least, and im sure to millions more watching the same brilliance i am

[omgmeoogbal]

fucking dickbiter, its his song man, he knew the lyrics better than whoever else >.< ps, dont post movies on yt which are that low graphics!

[AndreasZimmerman]

i think he might have forgotten the lyrics but sounds like he didnt care...

[caroline1697]

poor dave haha trying to sing the right lyrics.

[hotpeacechick]

@AllBabiesGetRaped WTF? Ur telling people not to do drugs, but your username is "AllBabiesGetRaped"!

[rayrayray11able]

yeah he just said watever he wanted

[nitrotoyota]

he wanted to confuse the crowd that was singing along with him .. and he DIDNT forget the lyrics

[cheseeproductions]

i thought u were gonna show the "Polly says......Polly says her back hurts" inn the studio version. He did not forget his lyrics. He just likes having fun with lyrics......telephone!

[PurpleScience]

'makes me feel good telephone' lol

[cainxx1]

[saumonnn]
