Hate this, for a start, this isn't the flying pickets, you sound Australian, not a bad thing in itself but you ain't the Flying pickets.
Secondly, and more importantly if you are going to feck about with a Nirvana song you better make it something that future generations would want to treasure.
I think this is an awesome recording... It is simply a recording though. This could not be reproduced live by 5 human voices as pictured in the video. There are far more than 5 voices in this brilliant recording.
lol i clicked on this with laugh and WTFing face, but now id rather should slap myslef, its totally perfect lol! as its said, original is the one and only, but this is rly awesome
ive just rediscovered The flying picket,omg they r still amazin,loved them years ago and now today,smells like teen spirit great but the best ever "only you" keep goin and any tours comin up
@Greavesy13 Yes it is The Flying Pickets. The Flying Pickets is the band of a Scottish theatre group. As such, when people leave the theatre group, they're no longer in the band, and new people take over. So it isn't the same group of dudes who had the Christmas number one with Only You, but it is The Flying Pickets.
@v1nnie0012 get the fuck out your own ass. "arrogance to cover kurt cobain"??? the man is my hero, and lemmie tell you he woulda hated you. he used to say 'if your sexist racist or homophobic please leave this show' at the start of concerts. you said 'negro' in a derogatory way so you're a racist. also, this is meant to be lighthearted, not filled with emotion moron; they're not trying to be kurt. finally, he just wanted people to love his music and spread it; he wanted it covered. idiot.
@Jeansieguy Too right.. if your of the age, that had family who were either on the picket line or crossing it.. then you know the emotion of the name....
@Duckieperson A picket line that moves from one place to another, as used during the mining strikes in the Thatcher era. The original band were lefties.
@Duckieperson a picket line was a group of striking workers, usually collected outside there place of work that they are striking from, they would usually be holding placards with slogans of why they are striking, and they would NOT be happy at those who would carry on going too work (called scabs during the great mining strikes of the late 70's early 80's) if you google aurther scargill and the mining strikes you will see what i mean ;)
my version of "Smell Like Teen Spirit" is the most shocking, futuristic, hardcore, monsterish, version ever fucking recorded! come to my channel and hear for yourself!
Interesting to see a band that has none of the original members left - I wondered why they looked so young and was surprised to see them still going - sound good though, if not better than they did originally
lol! I love the way they say 'an albino!', lol! These guys are great! I'm now going to create an A Capella Band now. It's better to burn out than to fade away!! (and yes, I'm aware that Kurt Cobain borrowed that phrase) =P
gr8! this is a real cover! it's musical expression the way that this band felt like,and they did it their way! you may like it or not but at least they don't try to immitate nirvana like most people and bands consider a "cover"
I think this is really cool and I think it's a really nice tribute to one of the best bands ever! For instance, I loved Nirvana and my Dad loves the flying pickets - and now my Dad has a new found respect for Nirvana - a band he would otherwise completely have diregarded as rubbish. So this sort of thing is cool because it unites people through music. And that's a great thing surely.
Been a Nirvana fan for 11 years, thought i'd heard everything but this blew me away. The best cover of the original that I have heard! The only criticism I have is the singers voice doesn't quite do it for me but hey, still the best cover by far!!
Oh and all you kids who don't like this, get a fuckin grip!
this is better then NARVANA i love it and im 22 i love this i love how vocal can make this sound really good, i love how they dont miss a note and how the lyrics sound better, this is a true master piece and i will listen to this alot more.
it's really trippy on the dum de de dum dum "hey!" part how the choir makes it sound. It really is like clouds... or like I don't know! It definitely is enjoying and I agree the voice is hard to just make sound just as good or better... therefore, it best to just turn it to a different song like this.
You realise the guys you've got in that picture didn't sing this? Like literally not one of them. They're just the bunch of talentless asses who somehow took over from the original guys...
