[richace94]

whats with the guy in the background at 2:20

[Rexy242424]

epic, though he is partially right the original song is a bitch to make out just insipid noise, like most of trash metal, now there's this new shit out where there's lots of screaming and talking like some deranged window licker, while playing the guitar insanely fast, wtf, whatever happened to James Dio, now there you got a great singer, or Led Zeppelin, holy shit in their music you can actually understand what they sing, you don't have to decipher fuckin lyrics

[MsVodkaWhore]

The song was about Kurt hating mainstream.

Krist Novoselic (Band Bassist): "Kurt really despised the mainstream. That's what "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was all about: The mass mentality of conformity."

[FallenStarr5]

Listen, Nirvana is the band that made Grunge palatable for mainstream. Kurt knew that but still wanted to act like he wasn't conforming or anything. They were a pretty good band, hell one of the most influential in Grunge...but they don't even come close to one particular band...Alice in Chains

[JamesKravenwolf]

[latreace1123]

"this is so retarded" says taylor

[jstanto4]

one of the greatest bands and songs of alltime! period!

[rachelricochet223]

Kurt gave permission for Weird Al to do this song, Nirvaan are one of the greatest bands on earth and if you're some shitty ignorant 12 year old who only know himf or suicide you need to go fuck yourselves and get a decent taste in msuic.

[LlamaGuy96]

man Nirvana Rocks...U are so true

[rachelricochet223]

(y)

Loved them for agees

[mexicandevilAlex]

Yeah, but there's a 1% of kids of 12 years old tath actually listen the good bands, just like my bro, listen all the bands tath i like:

Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam,ect.

[rachelricochet223]

I'm 12, I like Nirvana and shit like that

:D

[icarose]

oh god now i feel old, i listened to them first time around.

[DomeshotRapez]

Kurt Cobain-0, Shotgun-1. You do the math..

[deathdealers111]

DomeshotRapez-0, My Shotgun-1. You do the math

[darkmourn]

Ok, I can understand the overplayed fandom to nirvana, but diminishing someone's suicide isn't funny dude.

[runescape1234521]

screw u all look at what all nirvina has done wait wtf what did they do i forgot besides kurt kobian shoot him self lmao!!

[torchdalek]

well besides starting a music revololution

[ryuchaos]

dont know dont know

[MrLiamz]

who kirt kobain cuz i think he was amazing

[sonic48051]

WTF

[Pearlcussion]

Kurt Cobain and the band all didnt realize they had actually made in in the music industry until weird al DID a parody of the song, so naturally they gave permission!

[am2bananapenguin]

haha girl scout abuse

[happyhoodlum013]

3:03 to 3:09 - can you say dismemberment!? oh, and that girl scout's accidental bodysurfing was priceless.

kurt cobain was fucking rad, but this song is pretty damn funny.

[enonx1]

fuck this, kurt cobain was one of the greatest, and this piece of shit doesnt know what hes doing...

RIP Kurt

[bjdoureaux]

Weird Al got Nirvana's permission to paraody their song. Their only demand was that he not make it about food. He told them it would be about how no one understands their lyrics, and THEY said ok.

[machine134]

That's not how I heard it.

[mynameisnotalfredo]

He actually loved this song. And Kurt gave Al permission to parody it.

[TheFetusGrinder]

Oh yeah. He's really good at shooting a shotgun too.

[enonx1]

ok look, i take back what i said about weird al, obviously that was just my opinion. but seriously, how old are you? like 12? how could you even think to say shit like this? he was one of the greatest. if you disagree with that, go fuck yourself in a hole.

[6614246]

Haha bagelman 0:17 and 2:52

[DavidAMcLaughlin]

HILARIOUS! Love the parts where Al has the marbles in his mouth, and the kazoos!! FANTASTIC!! :-)

[devestationn]

[Natrocks10]

@0:09 read he drummers shirt

[lightEDiode]

amazing song... the lyrics .. the SOLO waaa man, i'm sure mr. Cobain loved this song... and weird al must have been at least a warm figure to kurt..

Cool W. al.

[iflipyoubird]

1:18 I shit myself it was so funny!

[Belkaid]

Man weird al was even respected by Michael Jacson, no one thinkings its offensive.

[FrescoAgua]

Why are you guys arguing saying that its offensive to kurt?

Kurt liked the song and said weird all was a musical genius in his journal.

[lilpimpsta]

i remember this as a kid, still is one of he's best ever,

[iamEMO111000]

curt was like the crazy uncle i never had =^D

[darkstar0709]

nirvana were shit and kurt cobain was a pussy

[kingrat1]

The whole band felt they had 'made it' because Al had done a parody, which meant that they had shown mainstream staying power.

Keep in mind Al's outlasted an astonishing array of gold- and platinum- selling groups. They've sold their records, are or aren't still around... and yet he is.

[sunnybeachgirlz]

nirvanas the best

[firesyde424]

In most cases, the artists are fans of Weird Al. I don't know if Kurt was a fan, but he did give Al permission to parody the song.

[syberamorino]

I heard that when Al showed Kurt this the whole band were laughing for hours

[darthfurious80]

this isn't emo. its grunge.

[pumahottest]

The original was fucking stupid. This makes sure to point that out.

[aaron350zracer]

freken awsome

[andiegurl98]

this kinda ruins the nirvana song. =/

i like it though

[msmusic4evr]

2:16 is funny

[drtran227]

This is my favourite! :D

[shrikan3]

Is this played like played slightly faster then the orginal? Cause it sounds faster in the chrous

[teenmouse]

kurt really liked this parody song , he said thats funny , It proves that this song is popular

[etwatson1]

actually i don't i watch it every day

[TheMachinimanator]

i do

[XxWindShadoWxX]

1:17 LOL

[Dzoker89]

i think Kurt was one of the greatest artists in modern age, so really do not like this video, it is humiliating....

[CR15TH19N]

it is not humiliatin', Al asked Nirvana if he could do a parody of their song, they accepted it, indeed Kurt liked it... anyway this was made BEFORE kurt's dead...(insert insult here)

[jamespatrick15]

plus 1 the singers would be honord al does good songs. and 2 it made them more fa=amouse

[alexisch1]

okay i'm trying to understand you but the only shit i don't get is WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU WATCHING THIS!!!? In deed this video was filmed before Kurt Cobain's dead and he DO said he liked this so i don't think this bothers him so I say GET A BIG CUP OFF SHIT THE FUCK UP :D

[MeteorArmageddon]

yeah, he was just messing around. this song doesnt even take the full piss.

[schopenhauersring]

Its hard to bargle nawdle zouss with all these marbles in my mouth!!

[tequiziman]

ha ha

friggin halarious, i love the guy on fire at 2:20

[thatonegirl513]

i love kurt and nirvana and i love this song-im sure kurt can appriciate some humor

[alexisch1]

indeed this was done before kurt dead and he commented that he liked it so i dunno what do kurt syas about haters :B

[archangelmike1]

weird als a2wsome

[thebrotherhud1]

werid al sucks

[etwatson1]

at 1:06 this on guys head comes off!

[werido88888]

[jellybeans2828]

i'm a huge nirvana fan and this still made me laugh xD go weird al!!

[narutouberpwnedge]

hell just find any random little thing to pick on! seriously this song kicks ass so much better than any weird al song

[asumarock]

hes not pickng on te song .

and by the way weird al asks every musician whos song he makes fun to give him permission to make fun of it you jerk!

[DereeceG]

kurt rang him and said he loved it

[CazMaTann]

Lmao. At 2:20 - The random guy on fire. What's up with that?

[202nekoboy]

well we dont sound like nirvana we're madonna! :D

[cookiebuddies]

lol!

[crush300000000000000]

we're a grunge band, from Seattle!

Well it sure beats, Raisin' cattle!

[TheNinjaMouse]

LOL This cracks me up every time I see it. There's so much crazy stuff going on, I always see something new.

"We're so loud and incoherent!

Boy this oughtta bug your parents!"

[MamaRocksorz]

This is a tribute not a parody :-) Artist always give permission and are actually honored to have their song altered by Al.

[Shard100]

Its like being knighted...only Al is the queen.

[LigerMan95]

Just to let everyone know Wierd Al ASKED Kurt to make a parady of his song so everyone can just stop saying "Wierd Al is disrespecting Kurt etc."

[SubaruBoii123]

.. Didnt know he could speak to the dead

[imtheprofessor]

this is my ringtone

[Mattrocksyoworld247]

well its a song that wierd al did...and its supose to be funny...soo yeah

[CrfKid96]

[videokidisawsome]

[Siekosander]

It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss....???

that part was crazy.. and funny as HELL

[SylosisFan]

YADDA YADA! YADDA YADA! NAYAYDYA!!

the ending was the best part lol

[mychemicalrelapse]

this is hilarious! the janitor made me crack up ^_^

[elliott421]

Wasn't there a back story here? Wierd Al reminded Nirvana they made "Smells like Teen Spirit", or in other words, Nirvana forgot they made the song, and Al's parody reminded them of it.

[chazofnation]

best song...ever better than smells like teen spirit

[ratmanrussell]

You know, Kurt Cobain had a real sense of humor when this song came out.

He laughed and said "Al is a genuis".

[TheEdbord]

He doesn't curse. He says "Boy, this oughta bug your parents." Also the bald guy has "This Space for Rent" on his head. It's more funny in HD.

[itismeandidcwhoknows]

lol omg  a friken cow????

[piranhas9]

1 : 13 WTF ?!

i love.

[estherdestiny]

Classic!

[dsg1999]

[elliott421]

I laughed at the janitor throughout the whole video.

[6314680]

lol did he said ''fuck ur parents''???

[HeRoToDaYgOnEtOmOrOw]

bug your parents.. lol

[candi10000]

when???

[ReVeRsE128]

he said "bug ur parents" it took me a long time to figure that out

[IMWEARINFEET]

its bug your parents good try thought :D

[TheGoofyKidBand]

I notice something new everytime I watch this!

[theamazingsergioman]

Everybody hates Kurt!

[tdwp3]

I love the original. Nirvana is still a sick band.

[Fishstick177]

Minus the satanism and explicits, this sums up heavy metal for me!

[shsclassicrocker]

hahaha "sing distinctly, we don't wanna"

[jaymrvn3]

I love this as Nirvana didn't exactly "blow my mind". This is a great remake from Al.

[skymunro]

the question i have for you thern is howold are you?? you arewither too young or too old, smells like teen spirit was an indicative reflection of us tail end Xer's/ "cold Y" generation....
