"Weird Al" Yankovic- Smells Like Nirvana Lyrics

[SwiftHDX]

BEST SONG EVER!!!

[imshunning]

whats the actual song?

[wildboyintraining]

@imshunning smells like teen spirit by nirvana

[jinxxxxrising]

-_- wow out of every song you make a parody of you really choose this one, o wait i remember, you make parody's cause you dont have the mind to make your own legit song instead of taking someone's and flipping lyrics, this parody is terrible i like t he actuall song instead

[JackAerobow]

@jinxxxxrising then... go listen to the original

[xxshawnee3xx]

@jinxxxxrising He makes parodys because that's what he does. I doubt Weird Al is actually going to read your comment. He asked Nirvana first if he could make it and they said yes.

[ZachD8]

@jinxxxxrising You do realize that Weird Al makes sure it’s okay before he makes the parodies. MJ said he LOVED Weird Al’s version of “Beat it” and thought it was hilarious. It seems like you’re the only butt hurt person here.

[2an2makes5]

His gf at the time tori used to put on teen spirit deoderant, lounge act is also writen about her hence lyric "still, smell her on you" courtney love hated kurt playing this song even though about a girl was about tracy (gf for years) ??

[kaykayrocker1023]

You gotta love weird al xD

[EXTRACTdelta342]

@EXTRACTdelta342 Kurt took it as a rebellious meaning and put lyrics to the riff. Later he found out what she actually meant. The song is about kids of Kurt's generation being rebellious with education and laws and not having supportive family. He was not daring Love at this point. It is not about relationships. It goes back to his youth and the generations youth.

[EXTRACTdelta342]

Kurt wrote the song lyrics within the same week he put it to album. He always had the riffs, and wanted it on record, but didn't know what to call it or lyrics. His old friend, forget name, wrote on his wall, Kurt smells like teen spirit. Meaning he smelt like his girlfriends deodorant.

[Cutiepies52]

u know what which ever dickhead made this i wish u were dead instead of kurt cobain

[rhbcweatherdude]

@Cutiepies52 Kurt Cobain was a fan of this parody, actually. Look it up. Also, Mr. Yankovic asked him for permission to record it, and Mr. Cobain granted him that permission, so nobody's a cunt here.

[blooboy4747]

@Cutiepies52 kurt liiked this song retard

[TeamStricklord]

@Cutiepies52 Wierd. I was thinking something similair about you...

[4EvMetal]

They're from Aberdeen, not Seattle. Just sayin'...

[gggoodwin1]

Did he die?

[Anonymous51365]

@gggoodwin1 Yepp Kurt Cobain did. He commited suicide in 1994 but there have bin some out there that have said he was murdered because of certain curcumstances

[oliviaok625]

saw this live lol

[blakewhitmore99]

Man Its funny kurt liked this hahaha rip kurt cobain

[TheFooFighter2]

All you stupid nirvana posers out there, Kurt (not curt) was flattered by this and found it funny. You guys can like things of your own and not have to pretend your Kurt Cobain. Hes dead, be yourself.

[1dcman3]

Wow such a disgrace to curt

RIP

Curt kobain

[SpartanDara117]

@1dcman3 Wow such a disgrace that you spelled "Kurt" with a "C"...

[GeoMcEvan]

@1dcman3 Lighten the fuck up.

[1dcman3]

Wow....I will never listen to wierd al again cuz of this

[JestersVeiw]

lol this is hilarious but in the song when it says what is this song about the original song was about (it pisses me off no one noticed this then or hed still be alive now) is that he was talking about killing himself and his realationship troubles with courtney love and what he thought of his band fellows. always read between the lines of peoples words they may secretly be crying out for help. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain i will always be intwined with your music. :'(

[dragonlover185]

AWESOME!!!I LAUGHED MY BUTT OFF!  :D

[bazuka989]

this fucking awesome

[rissiroodle12]

@caitwon actually, he does have to ask permission. Because he puts all of his songs onto cds and sells them in stores, he does need permission. orelse that would be considered stealing.

[blooboy4747]

@rissiroodle12 as fair use laws, any use of music for parody or response is legal.

[Themanfromthemoon454]

kurt would be laughing with me. this is helarious. good job Al.

[amiable519]

@AbbeyHMusic he dint want his life to go on, therefore he wanted to end it, furthermore that being said its safe to say he found no value in his own existence, he did not have any respect for his life, end of comment!!!

[MrBone123456789]

@caitwon Lol He always wants to make sure that it would be an HONOR to have him do tht

[caitwon]

@MrBone123456789 hmm yep

[MrBone123456789]

IT UPSIDE DOWN! LOL

[MrBone123456789]

¡ʍʇɟ

 ɔıʌoʞuɐʎ ןɐ pɹıǝʍ

[BeCuzMe]

@AbbeyHMusic

kurt was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder which is a mental disease that can get you from being happy to being depressed so it really doesnt mean that he didnt respect his life also in his family there is a history of mental diseases and suicides...

[manofman8]

38 dont know the lyrics

[mindlessbehavior137]

bargle nawdle zouss probably means gargle nonsense and something eles

[hiro928]

38 people raise cattle

[guesswhofails]

why are people arguing over why kurt killed himself... I heard that he did it cuz he was high but im not gonna argue that its the reason and all other ideas are retarded

[BigA1296]

@guesswhofails he was high, but he purposely overdosed on heroin so that he would die if the gunshot didnt do it.

[Brandonlym]

@AbbeyHMusic Actually Kurt was a dpressive person and he didn't really like how he was so famous.

[MathiasDSmith]

come on its easy to bargle nawdle zouss

[ScorpioCarly]

Haha, some kids were playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" at an assembly at school, and I sang along with the chorus to this song instead XD

[candiejame2210]

love wierd ai

[redin1421]

Wow people really are dumb, they need to read early posts or do research before talking smack.

[Pi314Genuis]

I love how the Ads are longer than the actual video.

[bibimyunn]

Lol Kurt did give permission to this...

[supahsimin]

Great ending

[iMacdude63]

nice figuring it out

[ThisFireBurns534]

I thought it was "We're Nirvana. Fuck your parents!"

Not "Boy this outta, bug your parents"

[Cena54644]

@ThisFireBurns534 i know, me too.

[TeamStricklord]

@ThisFireBurns534 Me too.

[xxxIceBunnyxxx]

hahaha this song is awesome and funny. kurt is laughing at this from his grave

[117khan]

Even Kurt would've thought this was funny.

[Deltalander]

now Kurt laughting in grave :). fuc**** good job Al.

[Mariorox10]

PEOPLE! wierd al had Nirvana's permition to make this!

[flamingrose13]

Funny thing, Weird Al has to ask permission to do parodies. Think on that one, why don't ya?

[freakdudebob]

@flamingrose13 he doesn't actually need permission to do parodies; he asks to be polite =D

[MultiFearz]

Kurt told he like this version

[graciek100]

look all i know is this song was an innocent joke like most parodies are so everyone just needs to chilax and if anyone cussis at me i will make your already f***ed life even worse

[chrissAngelfan00]

10andup



[Cheesing80]

It's just a fucking joke people! Get the hell over it! I'm sure Kurt Cobain thinks it's hilarious too!

[rabbidbunnyz]

@Cheesing80 ...I think you mean thought.

[hansolo235]

I Like How Al Rhymed Nirvana With Nirvana.

[mysticpsycho13]

Dimebag Darrell > Kurt Cobain anyday XD



[ifanguitar]

@mysticpsycho13 Dimebag was a better musician but kurt was a better songwriter.

[KirbiesandYoshies]

Lol @ people calling Kurt a legend. I'm sure Kurt would have loved that. Yup, he lived life to become the legend of Youtube Fanboys.

[ryanXsoulia]

@eliwood146 dude if none of ur friends know nirvana then they are cum guzzling retarded gay seals because everyone else loves nirvana and can respect everything they have done. So unless that "diverse" music ur friends listen to involves shit like "wheels on the bus" u shud shut the fuck up. And if the "diverse" music actually does involve "wheels on the bus" then they will know who nirvana is when they are grown up. And u shud probably stop hanging out with kids u perverted scumfuck

[milkandcookies879]

@ryanXsoulia Um... dude... calm down. My best friend didn't know Nirvana til I showed him- before you ask, he's two years older than me, and he's 16. They aren't well known to people that don't like rock/ grunge/ alternative. Also, don't use the word "gay" in that sense. Whether it's intentional homophobia or not, it's offensive. And Wheels on The Bus is the best song ever!

[yamiblue990]

@11yakub Weird Al's only reason for making this son is to entertain those who listen to it.

[yamiblue990]

OK in my opinion i never really like much nirvana but they do have a few good songs out there and i will say Kurt Cobain R.I.P. The songs that Weird Al has parodied h has gotten permission from everyone to do those parodies.

[GuppyGetGonze]

@AbbeyHMusic FUCK YOU Grunge is Awesome and 2 Kurt Cobain was a legend and so is nirvana so yeah FUCK OFF!!!!!!!

[GuppyGetGonze]

Oh yeah AbbeyHMusic, Kurt Cobain was a fucking legend and so is Nirvana In general

[GuppyGetGonze]

hey AbbeyHMusic FUCK YOU grunge is awesome

[MegaAstroFan18]

Kurt Cobain is drastically overrated, but his death isn't something to mock and this parody, while very true, is also just joking around. It's nothing for or against Cobain and his band, it's just a joke.

[MegaAstroFan18]

@AbbeyHMusic Are you one of the ones who goes and hates on Bieber? Because if you are then you're a hypocrit.

[ChoujiMan]

NEWS FLASH: Kurt liked this parody.

"Oh, I laughed my butt off. I thought it was one of the funniest things I ever saw. He has some good people working for him. Those people really know how to... I mean, I'm sure he has a lot to do with it, but they really know how to reproduce things to the T. He had the exact same setup. It's the same video with him in it. It's great."~Kurt Cobain

Weird Al actually asked for his permission to use it too, so don't call him a cunt.

[caitwon]

@ChoujiMan He always asks for permissin before he makes a parody even though he doesn't have to.

[ChoujiMan]

@caitwon Indeed he does. That in my eyes makes him an honest artist.

[arthas640]

@ChoujiMan kurt purposly wrote most of his songs with indecipherable lyrics and sometimes would sing the song differently just to mess with his fans.

[arthas640]

@ChoujiMan oh and sometimes he did forget the lyrics to the songs he himself wrote

[ChoujiMan]

@arthas640 Indeed. Whenever he played Teen Spirit live, he would say "a little tribe" instead of "a little group."

[Kohdok]

@ChoujiMan I love celebrities with a good sense of humor on works parodizing them, such as George Lucas, Mr. Rogers, and now Kurt Cobain. You can tell someone is a good person if they can laugh with everyone else.

[Fuckdisworld93]

All I have to say is for kurt to rip. fuck how he died, the man was an important factor in rock music whether u like it or not. why are u to judge his music based on him killing himself? other musicians do heroin, snort coke, beat their wives, etc... and yet you people are anti-drug and feminists and still love these musicians to death. are u fucking kidding me? u people are so close minded, hypocritical and so insecure about yourselves. so sad

[cosmicsnacktime]

It's funny when al had asked Kurt to use the song his only condition was it wouldn't be about food

[friendorfoe1997]

First off, Kurt mofucking Cobain is a damn legend. Second off, fuck this song.

[jwatson617]

Yous do know that kurt only commited suicide because he had a twisted stomach.. Which was going to kill him anyway.. So just shut up k? Kurt cobian was a legend of music in general and an amazing friend. I love kurt cobian. But god loved him more.

[dannyshurt8]

Good thing he's gone. He sucked along with the rest of the band.

[secretceleb001]

Don't diss Kurt fucking Cobain. Legend of music what a cunt this guy is.

[StayingAlive1398]

I heard Nirvana made a pretty good cover of this song. lol

[14awesom]

@AbbeyHMusic AMEN BROTHER OR SISTER

[ChoujiMan]

You know what's great? Kurt thought this was friggin' hilarious. 

[lyssiebubbless]

@ChoujiMan Well yeah, Kurt hated the album Nevermind.

[HumanDynamite777]

brwarwbbwbwwbllbwllbwew

[atlbraves1025]

Weird al is a fruit lol

[mrsupersmashbros1]

kurt cobain actually liked this song.

[imakittycatful]

gargle



[lockingfrench]

I coouldnt understand the words either until my dad randomly sang. it

[netowner666]

lol i loved this song, ive always thought smells like teen spirit is a bunch of gibberish

[120Reasons]

1:25 "It's hard to bark all these vowels..." lol. I love this song, Nirvana's and Weird Al's versions.

[Reaping702]

This dudes crazy you don't thank god for someones death unless it's like osama or something. you need a fucking life loser!

[Reaping702]

Smells like teen spirit came out of Kurts head it can mean anything. great job weird al I think he couldn't understand what Kurt was saying so he used these lyrics lol

[ShadowSacrafice]

good song but if you listen to smeels like teen spirit close enough, you really can understand what kurt cobain is saying, it may not make much sense, but it is understandable...

[kbibeast]

This song is about the generation that cobain lived and what it was like to live as a teen in that time, then again he could've been high off of his ass when he wrote this so it could be either

[kellon511]

When I listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit, I hear this: MumbleMumbleMumble

[GeekHippieEndarkened]

I love this song because it's so true. I can't figure out what Smells Like Teen Spirit is about.

[MrDrBREAD]

3:16-3:36 actually sounded like Nirvana!!

[babybean234]

we dont sound like madonna here we are now were nirvana the besy part XD

:3

[bankaimasterxc]

really not 2 b mean but yall some extreme dumasses if u heard fuk ur parents da lyrics r right dere and if u go bak and fukkin listen he said bug

[maximumfun1993]

i hope the 2nd verse to this song didnt encourage kurt to committ suicide

[fluffeetalks1000]

nirvana is a great band. but sploggez is right. kurt cobain was a drug addict just like bon scott was an alcoholic the reason hes dead is because he got high off his ass and shot himself. dont feel sorry for him

[iamobeliskquake]

@fluffeetalks1000 he didnt shoot himself because they figured out that after he died that his credit card was being used

[fluffeetalks1000]

@iamobeliskquake that doesnt really mean anything. he was a drug addict and he was depressed. depression and drugs dont go well together. he got high and committed suicide

[Slimrealshady]

@fluffeetalks1000 You're an impersonator of fluffeetalks -.-

[fluffeetalks1000]

@Slimrealshady im not an impersonator of fluffeetalks. i never claimed to be him so im not impersonating him. i like his videos so i made this name

[James76TV]

@ryanXsoulia: You shut the fuck up!! You have no clue that ALL of Nirvana was drunk, not just Kurt Cobain!! Thank God that asshole is dead!! I hate grunge music because it's a bunch of shit!! Fuck off, ryanXsoulia, you douchebag!!

[jb111082]

@James76TV wow, troll much?? I mean, I don't like Nirvana much myself, but can recognise talent when I hear it, and he was a great songwriter.

[ghgh1230]

First of all I miss Kurt he was a good friend and second it is fine to hate america but don't hate on the individuals who live here but hate ppl like obama and all other polatition they are the ppl running the country to the ground

[CurtisAlfeld]

@RogerSteve1994

NIRVANA RULES

[RogerSteve1994]

Way better than the original. Nirvana sucks!

[Sploggez]

@RogerSteve1994 Too true.

[acoolkid59]

That ending part made me chuckle when he coughed after a shot voice.

[ryanXsoulia]

@iluvtacos1231 dude I totally agree with yah rock on bro! \m/

[iluvtacos1231]

@sploggez

Shut the fuck up man. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana=best band EVER. Period

[Sploggez]

@iluvtacos1231 He was a druggy who committed suicide..good riddance to the asshole. I have no respect for people who take drugs.

[sk8erBoiJSF]

@Sploggez kurt is the best have you even heard a song by him why dont you go start a church

[Sploggez]

@sk8erBoiJSF I wouldn't just say someone's an asshole without listening to their music, he's sounds droney and groans all the way through his songs. Why would I start a church? I'm against religions.

[sk8erBoiJSF]

@Sploggez i like that type if you dont like that type dont hate just cuz you hate there music

[10wnu8]

@Sploggez Dude fuck you I hate to bring such language up but you just said your a bobby but your AGAINST religions..

Nice way to screw your job up?

Bullshit you are no cop!

[ThePROproject]

@Sploggez Well, I have no respect for you, so, there.

[Sploggez]

@ThePROproject You..have no respect...for me? I'm a police officer, I actually contribute to the world; I help people. What did Kurt Kobain do? Make shit music and whilst making this shit music would be stoned. Suicide is a crime in itself, and do you think I care that you have no respect for me? No, because I'm here to help innocent people, not drug addicts.

[ThePROproject]

@Sploggez Nice way to take a joke.

[10wnu8]

@Sploggez Dude cut the crap, Your not a Police Officer, We can all sniff out a bullshitter oh but I'm so scared because he might arrest me because We are a legion.

Kurt Cobain, Yes might have speedballed once or twice but theres no need to hate campaign over it...And could you point out why your so immature If your a law enforcement officer and swear your head off at some person who has acheived much more than you and doesnt make shit up saying he's a rock legend (or a poxy police man!!!)

[kibaitachiakamaru]

@Sploggez uz is messed up if u dont like kurt man

[shinryu1285]

@Sploggez You're clearly the kind of cop nobody likes.

[Sploggez]

@shinryu1285 Well, I don't live in America....so most people like me. If I lived in America everyone would try and shoot me down because I hate America.

[xXxSailorNekoxXx]

@Sploggez Hey, America's a nice girl! Don't hate on Ugly Betty!

[Sploggez]

@xXxSailorNekoxXx ??

[IronVampire]

@Sploggez

Suicide is a crime because that looses the government money. Seeing as you are giving the government more then 1/3rd of your paycheck, they want you to stay alive and keep working for them.

However you appear to have no true regard for human life, as you'd know that there is nothing wrong with Drugs as long as you are not harming another person, in fact weed probably would increase your lifespan.

You appear to have no respect for human life, that is true crime.

[Sploggez]

@IronVampire Kurt Cobain obviously had no respect for his own life, seeing as he committed suicide...so why would I respect it if he doesn't repcest it himself? I don't see suicide being a crim from the governments side...I couldn't care less about the government. But I just look at suicidal people lesser than everybody else. I have respect for human life. But when it comes to assholes I couldn't care less. Not technically assholes just being criminals, but rude maybe even illogical people.

[IronVampire]

@Sploggez

It's Kurt's life, he shouldn't be asked to respect it. Also you say you couldn't care less for the government, yet according to you, you act as their personal mall cops?

I feel a man should be free to take his life if he so pleases. It is his life after all and some people would rather just go into an eternal sleep then feel pain anymore, I just think you should have a good reason before offing yourself.

Also may I remind you that suicidal does not mean asshole, they're unrelated.

[seniors4life]

@Sploggez

I have no respect for people who judge without knowledge, please don't act all tough talking you are a policemen, that's like making it worse for yourself.

I don't like opera music, but you don't hear me whining about their ''bad music'' everyone has it's own taste, you should respect that.

[ryanXsoulia]

@Sploggez Dude shut the fuck up! Kurt cobain was a fucking legend! I'm not saying u have to love grunge music but don't fucking say good riddance to the death of a rock legend u asshole

[Sploggez]

@ryanXsoulia HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Rock legend? He wasn't even in a rock band. That is so offensive to the whole genre of rock.

[Sploggez]

@ryanXsoulia 1. Learn to spell.

2. If he was a GRUNGE artist that doesn't make him a ROCK legend, that is a complete offence to rock music.

[TheSnowMobile3000]

@Sploggez He mainly played grunge music, but he also played some rock songs. therefore making him both a grunge and a rock legend.

[aerosmithbeatles]

@Sploggez dude he was grunge and he played rock songs he is a legend

[kibaitachiakamaru]

@ryanXsoulia i agree :( I WISH HE DIDNT BLOW OUT HIS BRAINS

[maggotman46]

@ryanXsoulia fuck ya man rest in peace kurt cobain

[Kenpokid4]

@ryanXsoulia

>all the cursing

Whatever makes ya feel cool, kid.

[eliwood146]

@ryanXsoulia rock legend my ass fucking nobody likes nirvana...i cant name a single nirvana out of the hundreds of ppl i kno and my friends r very diverse in what they listen to

[kurtanglerocks555]

@ryanXsoulia i love nirvana and kurt cobain is my fave mursic artist of all time but this is werid al dude calm down its a joke

[chrissAngelfan00]

@ryanXsoulia how bout u shut up u asshole

[KennethIsFartin]

@Misternerdhater - LOL xD

[TheRealGaucelm]

[babygirl121896]

23 people would rather raise cattle XD

[koolchick192]

You know what, I could've sword at 1:09 It sounded like he said F**k Your parents.. I laughed so hard at that XD!

[risala247]

@djfcrfc he even said, HIMSELF, that he liked this version more. So f**k off, i didnt say i disliked kurts version. I said Kurt disliked his version. Because he did.

[jwsman15]

If Kurt was alive he would beat the shit out of weird al. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain.

[goji2099]

@jwsman15 You realize Cobain approved of this song, and actually loved it, right?

[djfcrfc]

you cannot take the piss out of kurt cobain!

life just doesnt work like that!

[Sploggez]

@djfcrfc Obviously his life didn't, he died 2 years after this song was made...good riddance.

[27byakuyafan27]

I love the end of this. XD

[thedude9099]

"grunge band from seattle" not garage

[DarkMasteLink101]

@thedude9099

Pretty sure he says garage, as in a garage band, local band. I think :P

[Sploggez]

@thedude9099 Nirvana started off as a garage band.

[thedude9099]

@Sploggez do u mean an underground band or a garage rock band. cuz every band starts off as underground

[Sploggez]

@thedude9099 Garage rock band

[OMFGWATDIDUDOTOHIM]

i love nirvana xD but i love this too

[MrChrissie1996]

Thumbs up if you heard at 1:08 F**k your parents!

[Sportygrl57]

@MrChrissie1996 he said "bug your parents"

[Danemarkofmalvern]

@MrChrissie1996 no...just no

[TheFergusB]

@MrChrissie1996 Its bug ur parents

[258legolas]

@MrChrissie1996 may have heard it but u heard wrong
