  • digideing digidein digidi diguein diguein.

  • 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.

    This is just shit!!

  • this is NOT the real Flying Pickets how dare they use their name and as has been said won't know what a frying picket is fucking cunts !

  • love this so much

  • Dag duben! COBAIN COBAIN! dagduben! COBAIN COBAIN!!!!!

  • they're not the flying pickets!

  • @rgbmode not the original members i don't think, but i think it's still them, i wouldn't know for sure though

  • Wonderful!!! ;)

  • These guys aren't the real Flying PIckets. Wait what is going on?

  • 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.

  • I love the fact that the muppets are gonna cover this song.

  • Dumb as hell but strangley endearing

    That aint the flying pickets tho

  • Who the hell are these guys? Not uk Flying Pickets. Shit!

  • 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

  • gdybym pżeklinau tobym pedziau cos mondrego.,q;h;qj

    thanks for posting!

  • Like one of Gaga's songs, I was speechless.

  • Surprisingly good!

  • Never knew voices could be so heavy

  • **OMG - THIS IS SO AMAZING!! ~> LOVE IT!!**

  • where is the drum sound comming from?

  • @TheParadoxDarksorrow their mouths...

  • @13MetalSmiles xD True ^^

  • this would be amazing if you had monks singing it in a monastery!! smells like teen spirit after mass? epic!! :-)

  • think they are really good

  • no soul no musik

    

  • 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 

  • sounds like van canto to me

  • Love the Flying Pickets - didn't know they'd done this one

  • Once more:

    Totally. Freaking. Awesome.

  • This isn't The Flying Pickets...

  • @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.

  • Check out the "Weird" Al Yankovic parody, "Smells |Like Nirvana"!

  • I hate it. But I just can't stop listening to it.......! :p

  • Gadang gadang- di didi :D

  • i would love to have just the opera in this song and skip the dong dang sounds

  • @Eeluum There is no opera. They're a capella, meaning all the music/sounds are made by them without using any instruments

  • hahaha wowwwww that was DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!!!! i like it :)

  • kedeng kedeng?

    Where is the emotion in this song?

    Perhaps they should have listened better to Kurt.

    It's not because your voices sound well together and u can stay in rhythm that u can afford the arrogance to cover Kurt Cobain.

  • @v1nnie0012 oh fuck off you tit

  • @v1nnie0012 He shot himself in the face, who gives a fuck.

  • @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.

  • @Motorhed95 shut the fuck up arsehole

  • @v1nnie0012 You don't know shit about fuck, my son.

  • @v1nnie0012 if anything i prefer this version

  • @HandleyHalifax I agree. Kurt who?

  • @Jeansieguy And these geezers knocked of the Original "Flying Pickets", and probably don't know what a flying picket actually is....

  • @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....

  • @Jeansieguy What is a flying picket? I don't know, I'm dutch.

  • @Duckieperson The name 'Flying Pickets' refers to mobile strikers who travel in order to join a picket line in a strike

  • @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.

  • @Jeansieguy Thanks. But what exactly is a picket line then?

  • @Duckieperson Why not type the term into Google and find out.

  • @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 ;)

  • This is a discusting cover.

  • A new word........Discusting....I will use it on a regular basis and make sure it makes it into the English Dictionary, Well done that man!

  • :D

  • x") Funny

  • impresionante!!!

  • Suonds good in acapello, Tori Anos....err(sorry)Amos did a down tempo remake of it

  • Radio 1 and 2 have played this quite a few times in the last few months, pretty sweet how they're getting recognized again!

  • 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!

  • I ALMOST like this.

    It's OK,I admit,but I wouldn't download it.

  • Fucking excellent

    

  • this is this is this is bullshit!

  • Brilliant alternative version

  • even better than the original!

  • WAAAAAAAWH!

  • wow, how cool.....loved it xx

  • Part of this reminds me of Quagmire from Family Guy.

  • lol this is so funny! being a kurt fan lol

  • Listening to covers such as this it really makes you realise how wonderful Nirvana's melodies actually were.

    Love this cover.

    Fantastic.

  • Heard better from a good fart

  • i dont like the start bit and i nearly turned this off but its great :)

  • 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

  • great stuff !

  • why are there different groups calling themselves the flying pickets, I'm confused, like this version though.

  • WTF???????

  • 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

  • Totally think I'm a fan of these guys now ! Love the Yazoo cover :)

  • Love this! Eclieasy listening music

  • Das ist ja der knaller, so ein geiles lied, so wieder zu geben^^

    Respekt

  • Weird... The beginning resp. what they say at the beginning reminds me of Call Me Lightning by The Who

  • 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"

  • interesting 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.

  • One of the greatest A Capella groups of all time.

  • the best i've heard too

  • these guys learned there skills in prison together. they are rock hard

  • 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!

  • one of my buddies show'd me this a few years back. Im glad to actually it again. These fellas got some mad skills.

  • Another good one.

  • There's one good jazz fusion cover of SLTS and all the others r just plain abusing the trademark NIRVANA song

  • @PH03N1XM4N voted down for being a fag.

  • shouldnt they be 6 people?

  • @ronaldinding

    The 3 on the couch are siiting on him.

  • wierd al was better

  • just great!!!*.*

  • ian!!! its nirvana!! guess who?

  • @NaughtyNurse1984 DEBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZZZZZZZZZ :D

  • 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.

  • no one cares how old you are

  • @thebiohazerd1 Fuck off, thebiohazerd1, they're awesome!

  • di didi gid dangh gid dangh :D i like dis

  • flippin amazing

  • Very nicely done. The Flying Pickets manage to make everything sound amazing~

  • quite ok, but much much distance between them and the Original F.P.s from the 80´s. So another group that ruined a great name.

  • these are good but not the flying pickets from the 80's!!!

  • good performance

  • WOW!

  • Funny how they emulate the muted chords

  • I believe this is the Georgetown Phantoms not the Flying Pickets

  • GREAT!

  • @tjellis69 AHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH..i dont agree with you but it sure damn funny

  • its very funny and really good made

  • dude hes the william shakesper of grunge/rock pay some respect

  • loving this

  • nice lol :D

  • Me gusta esta version...

    ....

  • the human voice is amazing

  • What the hell?

    Hahahah!

  • like this

  • 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.

  • well good

  • really good

  • this is more like weird al's version.

  • Quality! Who knew!!

  • I am very satisfied.the one thing i didn't like was when they say albino

  • I just love it - good piece of Accapella!

  • this is great and to think no instruments at all. just their voices how awesome is that!?!!

  • Thats Awesome!

  • es una reverenda porenga

  • Lol.....

  • love it, good work

    original

  • 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...

  • @CabalStudios

    hahaha glad I'm not the only one that noticed :D

  • totally agree...

  • I think it sounds cool

  • Yes, it's almost as bad as the original. If that's possible.

  • So, what? Are you just trying to stir shit?

  • Yea why what u gonna do about it?

  • way to fuckin happy

  • this is deadly good job on it :)

  • um....so wierd..

  • Weird...this is so freaked up x3

  • This is creepy!

  • Oh wow this is different.......not bad....

  • U try do acapello then smartass!

  • it's COOL

  • круто!!) мне нравиться)

  • There are very few tunes that the FPs won't try to wrestle into submission. I love Nirvana, and I love this. Don't fight it.

  • this is awesome it sounds much more

    3d than the real one, if u know what i mean. I love nirvana, so this is amazing

  • it´s all only with the voice t
