The song was actually written about a girl name Polly, whom Kurt read about in the paper. Basically, she was kidnapped and escaped from her abductors.
I wonder what he means by cut/hurt yourself? used to think he was sending me a personal message so i would cut on myself. but now i think maybe he is saying, as the character in the songs story, for the victim to cut herself indicating his extreme level of apathy, desensitization, boredom, and dissatisfaction despite extreme levels of stimulation as if to say heres the knife im bored of torturing u cut yourself. example: ask hot lady on the street to touch you, she responds, "touch yourself"
This was the original version of the song that was going to be released on bleach but they took it off and redid it for nevermind(nirvana did this not some "conartists")
...Where did you get that? That's completely wrong, this was from the Mark Goodier session on November 9, 1991 where they recorded Aneurysm and Been A Son for Incesticide (note that New Wave Polly's on the same album). The only song that wasn't released on the album was their electric version of Something In The Way, which was bootleged.
Also, for an example of what the song was played like during the Bleach era, look on WTLO. The full band demo was recorded during the Bleach era and sounds just like it was played back then. Another example is From The Muddy Banks of Whiskah's version, which was recorded in 1989 and has the same formate as the demo on WTLO.
u relise there was a version live that was played live by nirvana played on the cd...the muddy banks of the wishkah wihich sounded fukn awsum and was fast.alot heavier
Well the song is about a girl Kurt knew that got raped and stuff, and was able to flee by seducing her kidnapper. The song got a lot of negative attention, as platytus said, when a couple of sickos decided to rape a girl while singing this. Kurt was also accused of trying to *advertise* the case and stuff... anyway, lots of bullshit ;-)

theres hundreds of amazing bands, but your 13 so you have never heard of them because the radio doesnt play em and your school buddys are all 13 aswell
just because im thirteen doesnot mean anything and i have more freinds than just thirteen year olds. oh and by the way i don listen to the radio aand why you gotta go round dissin eveyrone on youtube.. dont you have a life, i mean com on if im such a lame school boy why you disin me

kurt cobain was a fucking druggy attempted rapist why not make fun of him
i fucking love nirvana and kurt cobain, kurt was the kind of rpick who gives a shit if people say "knock knock, whos there? kurt cobain, kurt cobain who?, kurt cobain i am VERY FUCKING DEAD" you know why cause kurt cobain liked to party, so fuck off with your r.i.p kurt bullshit
wow you guys are gay. "did nirvana invented the emowith this song???" uhh alright. well its about some murderer/rapist or something. atleast i got the basic story. invent emo? wtf.
u wanker how dare u say that about kurt he was an inspiration to most musicains anyway he supposidly killed himself because of the media. by the way douche bag is a gay word only gay americans use it!!!
if Kurt hated us all, why didnt he come to all our houses and killed us? or why didnt he say on tv that he hated us all. Dont make fun of the fucking dead. if your mom died, am i gonna scream HAHA YOUR MOM IS DEAD IM GLAD THAT HOOKER DIED HAHA? no i aint. so dont make fun of Kurt. you loser
this would sound good if there was a long instrumental break in the middle (and probably at the beginning too)... it's just too much to just speed up the song and expect that to be enough....
fuck ya!
