Nirvana - Floyd the Barber

[pussbuketnott06]

LOL!  XD

[yomama30001]

i know this might sound weird but this song whould make a great movie

[tetoleetd]

he says bell on door clank come on in. dont believe me? go buy the kurt cobain journals and read the lyrics to this song.

[crazygtadude456]

The first line is " Bell on door clank; come on in"

[ryanwalkermusic]

i thought it was "hello, tall drink" :c hahaha

[Bossness123]

If this was any mainstream label today they would sue your family and skin your pets for these lyrics. THANKS KURT YOUR THE BEST, YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR.

[Andrevac96]

Those are the weirdest lyrics I've ever heard. "Pee-pee pressed against my lips."

[CupcakeDude123]

I have a dog named Andy. 1:50

[975mas]

ITS NOT "HELLO COBAIN, COME ON IN" Its "Bell on door clank, come on in". Even listen to live versions of this song...Kurt CLEARLY says that. To be 100% positive, listen to the "Live at Paramount" version...since its a soundboard version...you can clearly hear him. There you go.

[heartshapedlife2]

@975mas Look the damn lyrics up. I f you think those are what it says, you're probably mentally handicapped.

[975mas]

@heartshapedlife2 so I guess Cobain was mentally handicapped as well since he sung the lyrics like "Bell on door clank, come on in". The lyrics you search up could be wrong, I'm trusting what Kurt sang than what some website said..

[heartshapedlife2]

@975mas But, he never even sang those lyrics, so you must have misheard them.

[975mas]

@heartshapedlife2 /watch?v=iGPP4LiszQE crystal clear proof. I even listened to this song off of my Paramount disc with my Beatz headphones. Its clear.

[FrankieLikes]

@975mas yo man cobain was usually to high for shows and made up hisown lyrics.... ive seen nirvana 28 times bro, i kinda know from experience, i could sing i like dog doo in the middle of mr. moustach and by kurts way of doing it i play the song perfectly, just do drugs and everythings cool man.

[Rakeization]

Honestly, it sounds like he says "Hello door drain, come on in". 

[RedPaganPunk]

I love Kurt Cobain, but damn that guy wrote some weird shit!

[georgestrob]

easy riff to play but its nirvana so its really difficult........

[Megaboot101]

awsome.

[BrickGrease]

I listen the this song multiple times each day.

[ChowderedRust]

He doesn't say hello kobain

[MrDimitriPl]

@ChowderedRust no shit man

[ChowderedRust]

@ChowderedRust I know man, this is for the ones on here who think other wise man

[Kurdt1990]

It says bell on door clank come on in.

[sUop99]

It's not bell on door ring, it's Hello Kobain, which makes it that much more worse.

[yeahboy994]

Mann I knew Kurt was a lil weird but these lyrics are brutal Kurt lol

[InsertToasterHere]

@yeahboy994 obviously you dont have a clue about his childhood -.-

[yeahboy994]

@InsertToasterHere Obviously it doesn't matter? I have my own life to live bud, this guy made music.

[InsertToasterHere]

@yeahboy994 it does matter because you were making out that he was a crazy person that made scary "brutal" lyrics, he didn't just write them because he was weird he had one of the worst childhoods a kid could have, so he had his reasons.

[GuitarRockGod951]

what the fuck?? this is messed up haha, great song though

[27caslovesmusic27]

Who else had to replay the start of the song to see if Kurt actually says "Hello Cobain, come on in"?

[edum12309]

i shamedddddddd

[Jabbles2738]

i heard i died smothered in aunt beas muff

[TheBrando382]

is this song about getting raped by the andy griffith's show cast?

[austinfailz]

...This is the most effed up song I've ever heard. Lmfao, wow.

[MrThezho]

@austinfailz Then you haven't heard many songs.

[austinfailz]

@MrThezho Nah, I haven't heard all that many a song about someone going to the barber shop and getting raped/killed by what seems to me to be distant cousins of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre family.

[evilsalesman626]

My band is covering this song tonight

[SKYLARLYLAR100]

I wish I was smothered in Kurts Pee-Pee lol

[austinfailz]

@SKYLARLYLAR100 LOL

[68chev4x4]

best intro EVER 

[SrMinhocax]

I had orgasms!

[studas2011]

its easy to get addicted. Top quality stuff

[PrismaPlay]

ißm 24/7 listening this song! NIRVANA WILL NEVER DIE!

[MrDSiReviews]

7 People were smothered in Andy's butt.

[ChowderedRust]

I could listen to this song 24/7 365 til I die! It's just that awesome

[petya21212121]

baszott nagy :)

[tararatatta]

@petya21212121 úgyám!!

[karamelitsa1324]

they were an awesome band...bleach is an amazing album... all of them ... but bleach is the first nirvana's album... and all of the real fans must love this...

[fossilbox1991]

can anyone tell me the meaning behind this song? movie? book?

[MrRedEspiritu]

@fossilbox1991 Bleach doesn't have much meaning, just raw power.

[TheCitiesAutomatic]

@fossilbox1991 It is a song about Kurt being raped by the cast of andy griffith

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@fossilbox1991 there is no real meaning from what i gather, and what thecities... says is pretty accurate

all the names in the song are characters from an old tv show called the andy griffith show...and yes, it suggest that he's being raped by them.....i don't know his motivation, but if his public persona that is documented from that time is true, then this was both funny and ironic to him...no one ever knows what a song is really about, no matter what they say...only the writer knows

[gorion79]

Imagine if they had made a music video for this...

[MrGm74]

I dont know what cobain is singing about I cant catch a word, can you Americans from east do?

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@MrGm74 i will tell you what i told the other person...no one ever knows what an artist is singing about, they know what they think he means, but the don't know for sure...but in this song, every name you hear is a character from an old american tv show called the andy griffith show...in this song, they tie him down for a shave and a haircut, then put their dick on his lips...then a gang rape happens..going by his image from those days, it was probably funny/ironic to him

[pivotguyninjaness]

Okay so you guys need to stop joking about or sayin that people need to kill them selves that's not funny like not only did Kurt which in my opinion the biggest loss to modern music but severall of my really good friends like would of if I hadn't stopped them so please like don't say shit like that

[waynewalker2112]

its wierd nirvana and alice in chains formed in the same year and both the lead singers,were addicted to herion,and died,both from washington,

[loveslashdeath]

@waynewalker2112 Conspiracy!!

[MrPeguin666]

am I the only one who thinks Bleach is the biggest load of crap and screeching they've ever heard... but there's just something magical about it.

[beardedlantern]

5:23 AM, what else would i be doing?

[wreyoG]

the first line is actually "Hello Cobain, come on in"

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@wreyoG it's definitely not that...the official lyric is debatable, but i'd be willing to bet it's "helen crump...." next word i can't figure out., but it fits the motif of the song, which is andy griffith characters..or i'd say that one of the established lyrics is correct, such as "bell on door clanks" or "bell on door rings"

[KyleFSargent]

@wreyoG no its not i have his journal and it has the lyrics and its not that is just come on in

[eaglemodz]

@wreyoG sounds like "Hello Cocaine, ..." lol

[xThES1L3NTx]

@wreyoG no it wasnt you dumb as

[shadowfootball1]

These lyrics are really fucked up when you listen to them.

[MichealZero1]

back when nirvana had more of a punk influence yes !!!!!

[L2N1A5Jay]

This song kicks ass!!

[TheGatorfan93]

A dream being raped by the cast of mayberry?Haha OH MAN,that's rock n roll.Great band,every song listenable.I don't know any other band like that.

[tobitobide]

Listening to this after sex... pretty amazing. :D

[GrungeGodThenNIRVANA]

Very possibly most likely definitely possible convincingly confident that this is my favorite intro to a song ever. The melody is crazy beautiful. This and Mr. Moustache are freaking amazing both lyricly and everything the whole package 100% definite possibilaty this is my favorite most intriguing inspiring enthusiastic exhilirating poignant album mankind has witnessed to this day. Too many adjectives you say?.........shouldn't have read this in the first place then......Well whatever Nevermind.

[ApriCot47]

what's aunt bea ?

[SPIRITofNIRVANA96]

fucking crazy awesome rad briliant. fuck theres so many words to describe this song

[karanjhalaguy16578]

I thought up a fourth verse for this song: (yeah ill prolly get flamed like shit for this)

Floyd the barber sits in jail,

surrounded by all his evil pals.

Praying as they stare at walls,

waiting for a saviour's call.

They were strained,

they were strained,

they were straaaaaaaaiiinneed......

[Tribe1012]

@karanjhalaguy16578

thats actually pretty good, if this song had a fourth verse, this would be awesome!

[irishmankentuckian]

@karanjhalaguy16578 dude, fucking awesome!

[pigfarts992]

@karanjhalaguy16578 That was awesome...Just sayin'

[MrGhost321]

Krist said Kurt wrote this while watching Andy Griffith Show reruns for a long time

[Healt1111]

Hello Cobain; 'come on in'

[airondee]

yeah goodified music

you still need to fucking bathe.

[Bartenderskills]

Kurt Cobain has written on this topic in a few of his songs. I have always questioned if he was abuse, 'shamed' or 'raped' by someone when he was a child? The lyrics of Rape Me, the acoustic version on With the Lights Out are more personal and tells of 'a nasty guest' and 'make me do it again'. someone abused can be left feeling worthless or empty and suicidal throughout their life.

[warzIbanez]

@Bartenderskills He never said he personally had to face getting molested or worse, but he just saw Aberdeen and most small towns as the nightmare to the Andy Griffith Show.

[wizzill22]

one of the BEST nirvana songs ever- especially played live.

[almoztahbeast23]

the lyrics are sick.but i like everything else about this song

[DynoMite09]

i dnt think those lyrics are right

[davidholmes282]

@DynoMite09 Well if they aren't right, they are still hilarious. LMAO

[aerocmetallica1995]

@DynoMite09 They're right...

[MrRoryTV]

peepee pressed agaisnt my lips

[JordiSmulders]

Best album. Not this clean 'geffen recordings' sound. Rough around the edges, crude drums, just alot of bad bad thoughts, nihilism, hopeless, addicted... the true start of this grunge movement.

The gen X, the lost generation. This is my generation.

[nirvanalovr]

Prolly never gonna forget that first shock of hearing this song for the first time. :D

[JewFroProducti0ns]

awesome song! i did a drum cover of this. easy but sweet song on drums

[stevend1354]

@SceneKidsAreGay456 bleach came before Nevermind

[bustsomecaps]

this song doesnt make sense kurt called it poem i say early drug abuse and depression

still when i was a teen i loved it so this deserves a million plusses

btw teen spirit? fuck that floyd the barber is more badass

[RokoRockt]

@Renabkc omg are u stupid? KURT have HATE SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT and you want wish him a happy birthday with it? nice nice.. -.- your not even a fan of him or his music cuz you would know that... if u where IF we go to a song... THEN we need take a song thats not that popular cuz kurt hate it because of that... for example you know your right would be better lol...

[nicksisoffdachain]

@RokoRockt does it really matter how popular nevermind was? it means they did something right, a band doesn't have to live in the underground to be a good band.

a true fan likes their old music and the new music,

[RokoRockt]

@nicksisoffdachain i dont sayd that i hate it omg learn read i just sayd kurt COBAIN would hate it ... cuz it was popular like hell.... and you cant give someone a birthday present that he would hate cuz if u do that ur an asshole ... its like you want much NIRVANA CDs of ur friends for your birthday but you get just JUSTIN BIEBER CDs ... and kurt cobain would hate smells like teen spirit for his present cuz he hate it to play and hate how popular it is,,, so you cant give that for present.

[nicksisoffdachain]

@RokoRockt i understand what you are saying and everyone knows he hated that song, im just saying you can like the old and the new, it has nothing to do with kurt, he's dead and nothing will stop me from still listening to ALL of his music

[NinetiesYouth]

wonder if he was molested

[nehnehmjfan22]

This song makes me wonder where the idea for Sweeney Todd came from...

:P

[kirstenBLINK]

LOVE <3

[ThePawn666]

well i know one baber im not going to... O.o

[studas2011]

bell on door clanks, come on in.

[CounterCrazeBand]

i love nirvana ..i REALLY love it when its this late ( 4:28 AM )

[stevend1354]

@CounterCrazeBand me too

[HitaroX]

@CounterCrazeBand holy fuck, and I read this 3 months later and it's 4:25 AM :D

[peperubin]

@CounterCrazeBand man when i read your comment was exactly 4:27, what a coincidence....

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@CounterCrazeBand wanna know something weird...i just read this comment at 4:28...9 months later...but still

[281294NIRVANA]

@CounterCrazeBand ur high as fuck :)

[monsterwladi]

BECHOVA...THE NEW NIRVANA OF BRAZIL...CHECK IN YOUTUBE

THE GRUNGE IS BACK FUN FUN FUN

[getyourpizzanow]

@monsterwladi there can never be a new nirvana so stop trying the only way for grunge to continue is to be original

[statmack]

EVERYONE LISTEN UP

descent Music Listeners, you rock

On 28th NOVEMBER we will all be visiting Justin Biebers "One Time" video

which has over 160 million views.

On that day everyone must flag, leave a negative comment and dislike the video.

Help us destroy this modern autotune music that has ruled the world. The goal is to make the dislike bar bigger than the like bar.

Copy and paste this to good vids:ANYTHING GOOD! Thumbs up this plan. THUMBS IT UP!

[ICEDgrunge]

@statmack Get the hell out. Don't you think this time has passed for this?

Real Grunge rockers do not give a single flying fuck about him, I will not insult him nor praise him, but he isn't worthy of my attention, nor anyone else's. And you have the gall to bring that attention to him. He will keep alive through attention. If you were serving the good music, then you would forget about him and leave him be, you brought shame upon yourself by disgracing this Video. I will say it again. GET OUT.

[studas2011]

@ICEDgrunge Are your piles playing up?

[LaynesAddiction]

@ICEDgrunge biebs a child celebrity, he'll be a drug addict in a few years.

fame will consume him soon, that cyrus broad to.

[LaynesAddiction]

@statmack be a martyr then and suicide bomb him

[bignads5]

@ThatGuyTy91 floyd the barber was a character from the andy griffith show. This song was inspired by a melvins-styled song on the Crover demo.

[MrModsd]

No me alcanzarian los caracteres para decir lo bueno que es nirvana...

Aguante el grunge

[MrModsd]

no me alcanzan los carcteres para decir lo bueno que es nirvana

[rycal1]

I am watching this video and reading the lyrics with the Beatles on my stereo in the background. My head is exploding. Just thought I'd share.

[SupraCelica98]

Pretty sure its only henry i presume

they take turns and cut me up

I was smothered in his muff

[screaminrocknroll]

@purpelaar your retarted thats not glam rock you pussy faced vegtable dick rider i hope you die

[ThatGuyTy91]

Is it just me or do parts of the song seem related to the Andy Grifith Show?

:-/

[ThatGuyTy91]

I fucking love this song,

one of my top favs from Bleach.

But I wonder what went through Kurt's head while writing the lyrics to the song,

or even the meaning to the song.

[ucandoitnicky]

@ThatGuyTy91 I heard during nevermind and bleach. lyrics were the last thing he did because he was kindof lazy,thats what he said in a interview but he said so many people try to look deeper into his lyrics,so for inUtero he decided to do songs that related alittle to him inseat of what he useto do put it off until the last minture,but from reading journals he would change his lyrics,and scrach over stuff,and write different lyrics. maybe he liked to sound just right?

[ThatGuyTy91]

@ucandoitnicky Yea,

I heard about that too.

It's possible but now I can see how people make assumptions because it almost seems like it talks either about rape & shit like that or a bad nightmare he had about the characters of the Andy Grifith Show.

[Arabianbeauty100]

I died smutherd in andys butt???..lmfao

[ThatGuyTy91]

@Arabianbeauty100 Wtf?!?!?!

[777jackpot1]

@BecauseIgothigh143 Cuz i spammed him once.

[shinyLucario36]

This songs is so bizzare even for a nirvana song Kurt talked about dying but not in someones butt

[777jackpot1]

Nirvanafrik blocked me and i hate him so i watch ur vids instead.

[SHARPEYEis1337]

the guitar solo in this song is epic

[WalkerMacd393]

Who gets raped at the barber shop?

[EmptyChannelIsEmpty]

@WalkerMacd393 Kurt, evidently.

[edditow]

Best Album!!!!!!!

BLEACH!!!

negative creep

blew

downer

scoff

about girl

and.... FLOYD THE BARBER:D!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThatGuyTy91]

@edditow AGREED MAN!!!

:-D

[jackscagnetti1]

@edditow how bout big cheese

[DackJanielsOne]

@edditow dude, you forgot like half of them.

[TahaMurataladdin]

@edditow and school ofcourse:D

[queenpoo01]

After 5 years of not listening to nirvana...coming back to them is always refreshing :)

[666lbSquid]

Dale Crover plays drums on this.

[MarshallRoberts]

@666lbSquid Yeah, you can kind of tell because he hits the drums way fucking harder than Chad Channing did. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if Dale was in Nirvana instead of Dave Grohl, but then I go make a sandwich.

[xather13]

@MarshallRoberts You have to hit the drums very hard if you are on Nirvana!

[HurleyIntl05]

such an awesome song. putting such an ironic twist on the andy griffith show. he hated the thought of getting his haircut because he loved his hair so i think hes comparing it to rape haha. who knows, kurt always made the best fucking music and his lyrics were so mysterious and metaphorically ironic and catchy. he wasnt the most technically skilled guitarist but that doesnt even matter. like he said, he fell in love with punk rock because it showed him that all you need is heart not insane skill

[iloveyounirvana]

I love this song! Classic! <3 I LOVE KURT COBAIN :'( x I am his number one fan x Wish he was alive in my lifetime xxxx :(

[Hugolastra]

el final, jaja se la rifaron

[LosAngeleno1959]

What the f**k does this have to do with Floyd Lawson, the batber from Mayberry???

[bojosection]

Nirvana is pure punk rock.

[TheGatorfan93]

See,its songs like this that get over looked,its quirky song like this.It's not depressing its kooky and heavy ,catchy as hell

[michameulenbelt]

-} /\/ |[. - - --- - - 58064516 ,no gin?

[themikewhitiest]

because he compares to them. they were all gods in thier generation. thank god he killed GLAM ROCK.

[Eldererr]

''Floyd breathes hard, I hear the zip

Pee-Pee pressed against my lips

I was shamed

I was shamed''

rape?wtf

[ben3698]

@Eldererr its about how he was rape when he was little

[spraypaintthewalls]

Please for the morons who don't know, if you have any respect for this artwork you will not call it grunge you fucking retards read about this shit and you will see. IT WAS PUNK!!!!

[Krissy159]

its grunge.

[styler1005]

so this song is about being sexually abused as a child?

[Vord1134]

@styler1005 It's about a dream kurt had about him being chopped up to death by the characters of the andy griffith show

[Libertinedreamful]

@styler1005 no its actually about a nightmare he used to have on a regular occurance in which he used to be abused and tortured

[Studas2006]

one of the rules of an artist is to not speak about what happened but to find answers in the obscure

[JesusFreak288]

What ever happened to Chad Channing?

[mikeburton420]

they kicked him out cuz he has no rhythm

[mikeburton420]

@JesusFreak288 they kicked him out because hes got no rythm lol

[modernwartfare]

my favorite song by nirvana of my favorite nirvana album

[poonhunter911]

this songs fuckin wicked sweet

[nirvananwa]

this is what the song was about: The people mentioned in this song are all based on characters from The Andy Griffith Show. Kurt Cobain wrote the song thinking, "What if all these people were mad, sadistic, killers?" The guy in the song went into the barber shop for a shave, but instead gets urinated on by Floyd, cut up by Opie and Aunt Bea, and suffocated by Andy Griffith.

[Bayview05]

demo version is a million times better, as with most nirvana songs
