"Weird al" yankovic - Smells like nirvana (Lyrics)

[MimiLaMore16]

Moo :3

[realmusicfan7bakup]

Weird al Is the best parody artist ever. "he who grows tired of wierd al grows tired of life" Homer Simpson.

[ObsessiveCompulsive4]

MOO

[Mithferion]

51 people couldn't figure any lyrics out.

[AmeliaDuphraine]

And really i love nirvana but if weird al parodied your song back then that meant you were like, the shit, okay so calm down .

[AmeliaDuphraine]

Kurt died in 1994 if only he held on for four more years he would have been around in my lifetime, and that would have made my life so much more awesome.

[MrPolishedTurd]

What year did Weird sing this in? Because Kurt died in 1994 o.o jw..

[storm8856]

@MrPolishedTurd 1992

[TheNamelessWarriors]

that ??? would be Kazoos

[halozambies]

Kurt Cobain R.I.P.

[legobroCO]

smells like teen spirit (nirvana)

[insaynDMR]

What is the real song called

[LetsPlayCrusaders]

@insaynDMR Smells Like Teen Spirit



[halozambies]

@insaynDMR smells like teen spirit

[Tcdog44]

2:17 to 2:21 is Kazoos

[no3snae]

Nirvana knew that Wierd Al did this parady of their song... it came out not long after Smells like Teen Spirit came out and they were perfectly fine with it! Back then if Wierd Al did one of your songs it meant that you made it... so take a chill pill geez

[LightningBreaking]

Epic shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :]

[enigma02g]

How many people will see this on comedy central and A. Have no idea what the original song was, B. if they do think he is mocking kurt cobain,or worse - C. Have no idea who weird al is. Amish paradise bitches!!!!

[grandslam475]

WeLoveYouKurt*

[grandslam475]

Before I read the description, I was going to say, Kurt would have found this hilarious.

@WeLoveKurt: my thoughts exactly

[notpointed]

I like his parodies, they're always so nice

honestly, find me one Weird Al song that insults the original interpret

singing so that it's hard to make out what the lyrics are is an artistic choice and the same is often said about Greenday... heck an entire genre called "Misheard Lyrics" was born from it

as I said, I like his affectionate parodies

[superstar14girl]

@justindoucet4 of course he doesn't say anything about the band. i mean, the title is only "smells like nirvana"

[TheNoob765]

1st I'm pretty sure Kurt died before this was made :( R.I.P.

2nd weird al gets permission to make parodies or at least pays for them

3rd yes he used the same tune as nirvana al al did was change the lyrics

[kashamaar]

@TheNoob765 dude, weird al made parodies back in the 80s, he's 51 now, so I think he really did ask kurt.

[TheWierd2]

@TheNoob765 no, it wasn't made after his death

[qadwan44]

Saying that Nirvana didn't know what they were playing and singing...

But that's a good parody.

[osty109]

'i made this by my self' well done you, you must be a genious. awsum song btw

[WeLoveYouKurt]

i swear i was born in the wrong decade. if i was a teenager by the 90's, i wouldn't feel so incomplete.

[Strate2]

@WeLoveYouKurt you would feel much more incomplete

[MEGADETH6630]

@justindocet4..... Your an idiot

He didn't steal the music

he actually played it himself and kurt actually loved it

[lexxieenicholss]

Did you even watch the video? The lyrics vividly state 'buy our album, were nirvana.'

[justindoucet4]

its not a song from nirvana. Its a song that weird al made he dont even say nothing bout nirvana. he just has kinda the same beat. but different words so Basicaly Its weird als song .. that he stole The music from.

[Goofyskater131]

This song was made before Kurt died, and he said he loved it. Just so y'all know.

[TheNoob765]

How the fuck would Kurt hear it jury's dead R.I.P. Kurt Cobain any way who ever has the rights gave weird al the right to do da song

[RufusTheMighty]

C'mon do you guys really think Kurt would be such a snob that he would take this as an insult? :L Like the description says, he gave Al permission and you know it's fucking funny. Much love for the guys of Nirvana and Kurt we fucking miss you dude.

[jacktheripperXIII]

sorry nirvana but i laughed:( i couldn't help it

[AceTreme]

Is this really the live version? o.o It's perfect!

[TheVabbi123]

the bigest crap ive ever heard!!!! wtf is this?! its an insult to Kurt Cobain!!!!!!!!!

[vujcin77]

@TheVabbi123 Shut up and read the description

[joe9320]

@TheVabbi123 You idiot go die and burn in hell!

[3afterPM]

It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss with all these marbles in my mouth.

[Taylorzxzx]

hahaha Weird Al dose it again :D

[Mikothemagicdolphin]

Great Job



[slashaxlizzy56]

i love nirvana and is there any song he cant parody

[howgetfreestuff]

Acually weird al doesn't have to get permission but he does anyway and i don't know if anyones has ever denied him

[greenday2themax]

I love Nirvana and this is fucking horrible...xD No, its amazing and I couldn't stop laughing at the video and the ''poing'' part was hilarious!!!! The guitar is like, rubber or something and the audience started playing the whistle thing...xD

Don't know why there is hate toward it, Al has to get permission to parody songs and Kurt laughed his ass off at the parody, he loved it.

[Raizen20901]

omg when i saw him gargling water live i started to shit bricks hahahaha hes a genius

[bathcool96]

come on weird al is awesome he gets permision hes doing nothing wrong he makes good songs stop hating him and him music and if u dont like it then dont listen to it we didnt make u came and listen to it and make rude comments just stop listening if u dont like is ok? if anyone has a problem with that then tell me

[69scoobertdoo]

Those are kazoos at  2:17.

[Melink03]

@69scoobertdoo And the horn is of the French variety.

[legruneflickmaster]

I'm offended by this in ways I don't understand. Oh I know now. BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A FUCKING SONG YOU PARODY! period.

[tranurse]

@legruneflickmaster kurt gave him permission, as long as it wasn't about food. he thought it was funny, and it came out 3 years or so before kurt cobain died.

[xxchocs48]

I thought the same thing when I heard Smells like teen Spirit on GH 5.

[slang650]

You guys do kno that kurts dead right cause TheKevin94800 doesnt

[killer5306]

Were is the music video?

[Pguise2]

NIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

[ChupkoChupawi]

2:16 is BEE...hmm i'm thinking

[TheKevin94800]

It's a funny song, and Kurt likes this song 

[MarioHc4L]

I like the original, but come on this is funny :)

[TheJD784]

(cool guitar lick)

burp!

(cool guitar lick again)

poing

i rolfed at this part

[08nikkin]

FUCK YOU Smells Like Teen Spirit is BEAST

unlike Wierd Al..

[imsoawesomelol300]

@08nikkin ummmm nooo weird al ROCKS!!

[HitmonFan481]

@08nikkin It's called a PARODY. If you knew what that meant you wouldn't listen to it. Kurt laughed at this song and said it was funny himself. So stop being so serious.

[Hig24]

God, I hate Weird Al. His songs are uncreative, unfunny, and barely intelligent enough to be amusing to even the most mediocrely intelligent toddler.

[Xxciara1398xX]

@Hig24 oh my god he is so funny just cuz u dont have a sence of humor weird Al is the fucken best so dont even think of commentin on this if u have nothen nice to say dont say anything at all so y dont u just go get a life and some cop on and den maybe we can talk k stop spreadin ur hate were it's not wanted rite!!!!

[SuperFronky]

Don't know Don't Know Don't Know Don't Know!!!!!

[dbarbie59]

hahahah i laughed when he had teh marbles in his mouth

[catfishwithrainbows]

:(

[scientificreligion]

I'm not a prude or anything, but I just don't think this is funny or creative.

[Araclain]

Saw him preform this live a few months ago... his spit water almost landed on me =P

[CarEdy23]

funny as hell

[xxLOLrobotsxx]

this is HI-LARIOUS.

[smith01793]

thanks for that cartocke fun

[XShielowSuzuchihaX]

KISS YOUR HAND 10 TIMES

SAY YOUR CRUSH 15 TIMES

POST TO 2 OTHER VIDEOS

LOOK AT YOUR HAND

[jayhan94]

im confused....did kurt cobain committed suicide or did his wife killed him and made it look like suicide?

[gentleman92596]

@jayhan94

It's suicide.

[Lizardprinceone1]

@gentleman92596 I don't belive it was suicide. I believe it was set up to look like a suicide. While we're on suicides and what not I also believe Chris Beniot ( WWE wrestler) didn't kill he's family then kill himself, I think it was a set up as well.

[suckitfuckerIDC]

@jayhan94 well nobody can really say, but judging by courtney love's behaviour over the last 10 years, and the sudden pity rise in popularity her band "Hole" enjoyed afterward, I'm willing to bet she killed him.

[MrAicman]

hahahahahhahahahahhahhahahahah­ahahahahahahahahaha this is awesome i HATE nerdvana

[SuperKandyKanes]

1 hold ur breath

2 go on to another video

3 add this comment but still holding you r breath

4 did you make it if you did then ur a good kisse

[Kyler2013]

The part between Al gargling water and the horn was a kazoo.

[mathewfinch]

Weird al wrote this parody in 1992. Kurt Cobain died in 1994. Everyone get your facts straight. Cobain said that a weird al parody meant that they had made it as a band.

[TheCmworld]

I love Nirvana and Foo Fighters but this is freaking funny!

[Pikachoo197]

@zockblin172

ur very very stupid, u said Kurt said this vid is pretty funny, well, i got news for ya: KURT WAS NOT ALIVE WHEN WIERD AL MADE THIS FUCKING VIDEO!

[suckitfuckerIDC]

@Pikachoo197 actually, this song=1992 kurt's death=1994.

can I get a hurr durr?

[lilwhiteukm11]

weird al asked permission to do this song while nirvana performed on saturday night live and kurt was totally for it

[thorgod8]

people should know the facts before commenting, kurt liked this song.

[deluschewitz]

The song is good but th notation at 0:11 is incorrect. Weird Al doesn't ask permission on all of his parodies. Why do you think there was controversy with Couch Potato and Amish Paradise? Because Eminem and Coolio thought that it wasn't appropriate to do a parody of their song because it was too serious. Kurt may have said that it was funny, but weird al doesn't ask permission. Nothing bad towards Weird al, his parodies are cool, but you are wrong. R.I.P. Kurt

[markpolo97]

@deluschewitz :

Well his lawyers asked Coolio's lawyers for permission for Amish Paradise. They said yes, and Coolio didn't find out until too late. As I understand, they have now more or less made up.

The story mentioned above about this song is correct -- Weird Al talked to Kurt Cobain while he was waiting in the green room on SNL. Kurt said, OK, but is about food? Al said, no, it's about how no one can understand your lyrics. Kurt thought it was funny and OKed it.

[zukolover666]

EPIC! Love it not as much as the orginal, but i love it!

[aleflaite]

this video rocks i like it very much and the lyrics are funny :)

[aleflaite]

this video rocks i like it very much and the lyrics are funny :)

[wsgchopper]

damn is there a song he cant parody?

[shuttler1002]

@wsgchopper yes, some requests were turned down. one was because the guy was a vegetarian!

[4242bobby]

@wsgchopper Justain Beiber it's bad enough already he would make it bettar

[Melink03]

@4242bobby That would be the point.

[Melink03]

@wsgchopper Any song by Brentalfloss, The Adventures of Duane and BrandO, Action Adventure World, The Amazing BrandO, My Parents' Favorite Music, etc...

[lukeindeed]

hahahahah gotta love this

[GabrieloSylarGray]

Idk Wth Are U All Talking About ... Al Doesnt Make Parodys Without Permissions -.-'

And Kurt Gave Him Permission He Said ''its not going to be about food is it '' ? or something like that but , anyways he gave him permission,they liked song and laughed hard when they heard it... and i think they also said something about Al being musical genius

[nativehealing]

dude haha

sweet remake of the original --- cant believe kurt gave permission to do this --- its even cooler that cobian laughed at it after it was made --- dude grunge is the shit and all of his songs kicked ass RIP COBAIN --- DUDE YOUR 1 OF THE GODS OF ROCK AND ROLL ---- COBAIN IS 1 OF THE GREATEST LYRIC WRITERS AND IF ANYBODY HAS PROBLEM WITH HIM OR GRUNGE OR ROCK ----- FUCK YOU THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY rock on all tubers peace

[MrPossessed]

People need to do their research. Not only did Nirvana give him permission to make this, but they thought it was hilarious. I've heard it stated that they even called him a "Musical Genius".

[xXxrachhunnixXx]

i love nirvana andd this is soo funny XD

[EdwardScissorhands66]

LOL this rocks. i hate nirvana, and its true the song is like ''wtf is this??'' great on,Weird Al.

[zeno711]

kurt wanted to know if it was about food and al sed it was about how u cant tell wat they r sayin. nirvana laughed so hard wen they herd it

[PorterA7X]

Hahahaha. Spot on. And to every1 kickin up shit, chill out. Kurt Cobain has millions and millions of fans of several generations and 1 funny song isn't gonna change that. The man was a junkie and he died. Get over it.

[TriggerHappyAngel]

Nirvana is great, Weird Al is great...

[GothicShadowAngel1]

love nirvananannanananana but love Al .

[koRnrocks160]

R.I.P Kurt!!!

[father042]

I like this more than original

[12363brad]

GAY highlight of his career

[upyr1]

never knew what Kurt Cobain was saying until I heard the parody.

[102707924]

why is half of the people here getting hurt weird al got permission to do this and kurt likes it and weird al ask micheal for his music and he like it to like eat it and fat

[dierickenficken]

i love nirvana its my favourite band but i like this too its really funny this isnt against nirvana this only should be funny and you dont have to write such comments only listen to it and when you dont like it dont listen its so easy i exspect when kurt would be alive he would laugh about that

[darkedy90]

Nirvana is my favourite band so fuck you!!

[monster4062]

This was funny.... Great song

[XxKraitxX]

oh my XD

I like both, the original and this one.

Thanks for putting it up

[vampirebillslover]

funny video

[akkandcrover]

@justin12399 er.. I know that you've tried to terminate the dispute but.. you know that kurt cobain was long dead before this song came out ? also yankovic NEVER gave a shit if anyone likes it, it's a funny parody so yeah get down haters ^^

[LUISDASD]

QUE PENDEJADA ES ESTA

[CAPTAIN13ANARCHY]

R.I.A KURT

[Zockblin172]

R.I.A Kurt indeed.

[CAPTAIN13ANARCHY]

@Zockblin172 DEFINETELY AND IF KURT IS READIN THIS IN WATEVER NETHERWORLD / DIMENSION HE IS TELL SID I SAY HI

[princeofteretz]

@Zockblin172 RIA?

[bitchoffthestreet]

@Zockblin172 what the original song?

[sibisanmichael93]

@CAPTAIN13ANARCHY what does R.I.A. mean?

[robleecr]

@CAPTAIN13ANARCHY REST IN A...?

[justin12399]

Everyone in Nirvana listened to this first before he released it to see if they liked it and Kurt cobain actually liked so stop getting so mad guys

[LunchboxJuggalo217]

im sorry but i dont care if kurt cobain liked this song i think its purely disgusting that somebody would do this to a nirvana song

[strongbadmanofme]

@LunchboxJuggalo217 k, then don't listen to it :)

[luckyluciano36420]

just get the fuck over it , big deal he made a parody of a song

[tokumas]

This parody song is a really great interpretatiopn of the real song. But they are nice, they advertise Nirvana even in the lyrics.

[bcpdproductions]

this song massacres one of my personal favorite if not one of the best songs ever made it is an insult to all people who grew up listening to this song

[dxtros1]

i love the original and i love this version....makes me laugh out crazy....... and if its tru he had permission to do it then ppl dont b hatin!!!

[zero26tee]

u hafta be dumb not to be able to figure out curt kobaines lyrics nirvana was the shit he shouldnt be talkin shit about them thats just stupid its not even funny

[misneach04]

I'm a huge Nirvana fan and I must say this song is brilliant and hilarious! And people calm down they didn't set out to mock Nirvana at all

[Thesnowbird15]

weird al i probly better known because i have never heard of nirvana till i saw the music video so i like weird all sooooooooooooo much better than Kurt Cobain!

[honky44]

weird al kicks ass

[honky44]

anyone who doesnt like wierd al can suck my dick because wierd al rocks

[austin8110]

i know

[ikiteru1]

Hey, I love this Song!!!

The lyrics are divine. *_*

[TheNordus]

Great Song.

[chikkenstorm]

There sure are some funny parts in this song (the gargle solo rocks), but I think this one isn't as good as 'Eat it' or 'Livin' in the fridge'. But hey, that's just me.

[guner56]

hey rude nasy fucking faggots online :D you wanna know something all? Kurt Cobain probably doesnt hate this song, he's laughin in heaven. He knew this song was gonna be funny before it evn was made so fags can suck it! and have a nice day :D

[TheHawkins45]

kurt also said he liked it:)

[eblckmn]

Y'know not only did Kurt think it was funny, he was quoted as saying that he didn't know he had made it until he heard Weird Al's song. Thanks for the video. :)

[Zockblin172]

@teganconnery427

Don't be a raging faggot.

[117gotmilk]

@Zockblin172 thank you for uploading!!! HILARIOUS!!!

:D

[WoWplayer4000]

@teganconnery427 U needto calm dude kurt didnt mind

[lightpino]

@teganconnery427 Learn to read the discription:

*NOTE* THIS SONG WAS NOT ORIGINALLY MADE TO MAKE FUN OF KURT COBAIN, HE GAVE WEIRD AL PERMISSION TO MAKE IT

(And did I mention Kurt thought it was funny?)

[damatt11dog]

@teganconnery427 wow real mature now you look like an ass

[guner56]

@teganconnery427 lol you said aloud not alot....xD

[jorock01]

@teganconnery427 Kurt personally didn't like this song...

[TheTigerPrideBand]

@jorock01 he said in a video himself that he didnt think Nirvana got big til Al parodied him

[AndieFront95]

@teganconnery427

man you just suck

weird al is great, i mean Kurt Cobain is great too, but weird al just make some parodys so, chill out, come down man

[the69ryin]

@teganconnery427 go die in a hole, and do the world a favour

[nova2384]

@teganconnery427 Don't like go somewhere else. Make room for someone who dose.

[Yasminnie22]

I love weird al and I love Kurt Cobain. :) <3 <3 <3

[fourperson]

[17mercenary]

[Zockblin172]

@17mercenary

Read the rest of the comments on here before deciding to make a complete asshole of yourself. I know they're kazoos, at least, now I do.

[gonzaloyanezl]

When Weird Al rold Kuer about this Kurt said ''Wait, this isnt going to be about food is it?" Lol

[cheezerocks]

wow this is the first time i've ever been mad at wierd al

[Zockblin172]

@cheezerocks

One does not simply just get mad at Weird Al. As Homer Simpson said, "He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life."

[Lizardprinceone1]

@Zockblin172 Homer Simpson is a cartoon idiot. Who should believe anything he says,but I agree.

[badideass]

@cheezerocks Kurt liked what weird al did to this song, so LoLuMaD Newb?

[tamira10477]
