OUR HIT PARADE - Kathleen Hanna - Smells Like Teen Spirit - Rebel Girl - 12-15-2010

[KurdtKobain09]

She can't sing.

Very well at least.

[oywidapoodles]

I'm in love.

[highheeledfeminist]

Fuck she's perfect

[bmthoma4]

I won my team a bonus point at trivia tonight, because I knew that Kathleen Hanna inspired "Smells like Teen Spirit." And it was all thanks to this video!

[XxSonicSalmonellaxX]

see i knew that one of his friends wrote "kurt smells like teen spirit" on his wall. But no one ever told me it was fucking Kathleen Hanna. haha amazing

[LomtickofToast]

She is awesome! And such a babe.

[Violeyt]

achei q ela tava de sacanegm no inicio.... e no meio...aí eu parei de ver :/

[LastMemory3]

I respect Kathleen Hanna, but despite how many times she denies being a 'bitch', she has made an ass of herself many times in the past. She's an age discriminator. She was a bitch to both Kurt and Courtney. And apparently, she thinks she's like the fuckin' feminist police or something because she always shuns those who don't meet her impossible standards.

I just don't agree with a lot of aspects about her, but I like her music, that's all.

[222Bobbobable]

@LastMemory3 I do agree, I don't like a lot of her opinions. Like, there's so many ways to be a feminist, and I think her and a lot of her fans don't see that. But I think on the whole, though flawed, i think it's pretty brave that she does what she does. Like the fact that she fights so hard for women, is so unbelievably admirable.

[seachaange]

this actually made me tear up. fucking love kathleen hanna.

[fathale]

Compared to Perry and Gaga, everyone is awesome.

[BritishBrummie]

Why were my teenage years never as cool as this?!

[kronos3636]

So fucking awesome!

[mixmastermonte]

@grrlwiththemostcake oh, I think I mixed her up with Carrie Brownstein.

[TheCreepySun]

My god. Kathleen is my actual hero.

[MsLoungeact]

08:09 makes me sad! That girl is fucking gorgeous...

[Bballjunkie42]

Maybe kurt wouldnt have died if he ended up with someone awesome like her

[mixmastermonte]

not the greatest voice but good story teller. 

[BronzeDragonflight]

God is gay

[godisgay1000]

@BronzeDragonflight you got it

[zero17]

She's like a angel.

[johnkiedis27]

I miss Kurt

[ZSNYC1]

KH needs to evolve.

[ophy4]

Kathleen is a God.

[MotorsportMonster]

Kathleen Hanna should be dead after her Gaga and Katy Perry comments

[EleanorAlys]

@MotorsportMonster Oh get over yourself, Kathleen Hanna is fucking incredible. I love everything she represents, how she stands up for herself and is so passionate about everything. She's right about Gaga and Katy Perry, they are soulless sucky sucksters and we suck for even acknowledging them as possibly “credible” musicians. Hanna is a feminist icon who everyone should probably learn about, a much better role model and musician than Katy Perry. She's a legend.

[BlueDubuJJang9]

@EleanorAlys Agree with you, but she lost credibility saying Jason Mraz is horrible. I was about to think she was a great woman that thought about music till she said that.

[zackfair73195]

@BlueDubuJJang9 Jason Mraz does suck. He's a fucking fruit when it comes to songwriting. His cheesy fuckign "I'm yours" is so nervewracking.

[BlueDubuJJang9]

@zackfair73195 So cheesy means bad? Ahahahahaha What a joke and what a way of saying he sucks.

[KurdtKobain09]

@EleanorAlys FREE SPEECH. KATHLEEN SUCKS. DO HEROIN.

[godisgay1000]

@MotorsportMonster why lady gaga and katy perry are attention whores wholl sacrifice everything to be liked why like them

[godFlintstone]

I need to show my friend this ASAP. This is too cute and I just want her to see it so bad. Reminds me of her so much.

[sexykatie90]

thumbs up if you like OUR HIT PARADE - Kathleen Hanna - Smells Like Teen Spirit - Rebel Girl - 12-15-2010

[zerrson]

bottom

[zerrson]

Dream to Kathleen Hanna.

[fleessa]

FUCK. YES.

[CausticGirlfriend]

For all of those who know what the Riot Grrrl movement is and/or love Hanna CNN did a great interview with her called The original riot grrrl on Katy Perry, '90s revival this is a great interview!!

[thejoamiq]

What?! That was amazing!

[lillerbutton]

ok that so needs another audience :P

[lillerbutton]

youre simply awesome kathleen hanna!!!

[dbremmer]

From punk to lounge act in a mere 20 years. That's sad.

[curtmastor]

@dbremmer pluse fucking one. her and rollins are huge hypocrits

[godisgay1000]

@curtmastor please elaborate 

[pennieroyaltea]

God IS gay!

[img921]

FINALLY! A version I can understand the lyrics in...THAT'S what the song was saying? :D

[Joellercoaster]

So, so so much respect. My daughters will get Bikini Kill records when they're big enough to dance.

[merryann89]

wait so...a riot grrrl/feminist was a STRIPPER? that seems contradictory...

[MechaSixVII]

@merryann89 Not really.

[autodidactic]

@merryann89 Lots of girls are feminists and strippers. One of the main tenets of feminist thought is that slut shaming is sexist b.s. :)

[PirkkoUnkarilainen]

@autodidactic Yes, and one of the reasons sexism exists is that some people sell their bodies for money... I have always supported feminism, but if this is REALLY what feminism is, then I will distance myself from it.

[2DGorillaz192000]

@PirkkoUnkarilainen selling bodies for money is one way sexism (and classism) manifest. the idea of gender superiority/inferiority is the cause.

[salamurai]

VH1 Storytellers lives!

[fashionista16]

GO GIRL!

[todnyc]

oh my god, that crowd SUUUUCKS!!! Just a bunch of boring-ass middle-aged fartbags. Look at 8:50 - no one is even moving an inch!!! yeah, what a "RIOT," grrrl!!!! what is that, a Starbucks??

[crocen0]

this was fun.

[zezthenoobforpk]

Such a beautiful cover. Makes up for that one cover Cyrus girl did.

[BKsMadPlanet]

How the FUCK is he gonna use "Kurt Smells like teen spirit" as a lyric?

[biscuitboy4life]

This is making me cry. Why is this making me cry.

[temptationsgirl]

i love this woan she's amazing!

[GwenBsMule]

hahahaha. "what can us GUYS do to help YOU FEMINISTS?" derp derp derp

[adeilaede]

Kathleen Hanna can be a total bad-ass AND adorable, all at the same time! Fucking amazing woman...

[jas1n]

if you really think that Kathleen Hanna has no place covering Teen Spirit, then you're wack and you know nothing about music from that era. i'm only hearing this cover today, and it's fucking great. the first cover of this song i really like.

[Imaginecide]

@jas1n Did you like Tori Amos's cover?

[jas1n]

@Imaginecide i like most of her covers, and i was pretty big in to Tori's music when she put this out. i like the cover, but i feel like it is missing something. missing what? i don't know.

[GwenBsMule]

@jas1n I think a second female vocal harmonizing would be excellent.

[jas1n]

@GwenBsMule yes! and maybe another instrument.

[Boe1771]

@jas1n *maybe* it needs some drums..

[reflectwhatyouare689]

fuck it, i love kathleen hanna an bikini kill but this is shit, smells like teen spirit is revolution punk anthem, this is supposed to make you feel not just young but rebel and punk gonig against the system, to me it feels like someone covering anarchy in the uk in piano that just sucks, to me kathleen hanna just made the same shit cover that paul anka, and tori amos did

[scartissue94]

Why were people laughing when she said she and Kurt were feminists? He was really a feminist!

[macskasegg]

No voice and she can't sing.

[MARXA123]

is she telling the truth?

[Jeanne587]

@MARXA123 Yeah she is, when she wrote Kurt smells like teen spirit, she meant that he smelt like this girls deoderant.

[teddysextramp]

Fucking awesome.

[MissOMG323]

shes married to ad-rock right?

[countchunkula]

@MissOMG323 Your on the internet, you already have the answer lol.

[christylmay1]

cool story

[PrincessPi314]

It's like a journey with her talking. She's so captivating~

[ponygrrrrl]

She is so freaking rad!

[NeonAngel1997]

@ponygrrrrl I know she is a badass!

[rsohlich1]

This is so cool.

[niandrahalades]

oh my god i absolutely adore her. why can't there be more female artists like her?

ps does she not age or what?!

[AlphabetSoupCircus]

why is she so fucking awesome

[jackscourage]

i like pizza and tacos and a hundred dollars

[EstringWarrior]

WOW! her spoken word is SOOOO much better than her singing. I would actually MAYBE pay money to hear her tell stories. I would also pay money to hear her not sing.

[mageedis]

Wow! She has no talent, AND is a moron! All in one package!

[tengobotas]

@mageedis your use of an ! makes you look pretty dumb too.

[mageedis]

@tengobotas WOW What a comeback! Did you think of that all by yourself???

[KristieHerself]

Wow i just stumbled upon this accidentally. what an adorable woman :3

[milkowaif]

hardcore lads-ask not what you can do for a feminist-ask what a feminist can do for you...

[todnyc]

@QueenJuliana EXCUSE ME??? How DARE you!!!! It's like SOOOO not cool to insinuate that.... Well anyway, Courtney Love was a stripper too. for (the only?) 3 pictures of her at work in the mid-80s, go the first result you get when you Google: dangerous minds courtney love stripper

[Teenager2thecore]

Kathleen Hanna, stripping to Smells Like Teen Spirit.

I must be dreaming

[mimickick]

This is fucking righteous. The spirit lives on.

[lipglossytopmodel]

This version of this song is great and Kathleen is hysterical. I cannot believe she's 42.

[skelin12]

riot grrl for life :DDD

[IHaveFlagella]

Love me a great story.

[rob5000x1]

i have to watch this more then once every once in a while, its so funny and great

[EonianPal]

Why did he marry love when he had such a angel in front of him?

[polosandpearls]

@EonianPal uh because they didn't like each other that way obviously seriously

[mixmastermonte]

@EonianPal I think she's gay, so that's prob. why.

[foofermoe]

so cute. yea.

[fmdjd]

His path is still woven through us, he shines, tks Kathleen, a beautiful, funny vision of the past...I can just smell it! :) Cheers

AMi

[SettleForNothing]

I knew that someone had written "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on his wall. I never knew that someone was Kathleen. This made me cry. Such talent gone to waste...

RIP Kurt. You will always be in my memory. Thanks for the memories, KH.

Ps. Was Hanna talking about Fort Reno Park in Tenleytown (DC)?

[trashwomenn]

she is so amazing.

[Twinharps]

Best Christmas present ever!

[xyzdcp]

Great video by the way, really great.

[dertolleHenning]

[TheKiki890]

She defines Riot Grrrl for me

[insidiousheart]

Kathleen is so fucking amazing, what an awesome story. I miss the '90s. :(

[snaganubbin]

we all love kathleen & have yet to be disappointed

[ars3nalpromo]

this is totally hilarious and funny

but at the same time its kinda sad, in a "think back on that friend you used to know" kind of way

[toodarkmark]

That was awesome.

[TheSparadrap]

muttonchops! classic nz band :)

[vladislav93]

Adrock from Beastie Boys on the guitar!

[somekindakate]

@vladislav93 they're married.

[vladislav93]

@somekindakate I didn't know that.

[shittyshit69]

@vladislav93 you mean piano?

[vladislav93]

@shittyshit69 Piano? Beastie Boys fansite says, that he was on the bass. That man from 8:41.

[Toloblitz]

Oh, this really brings a tear to my eye.

Thanks for posting this.

[WLDFLD]

aaahhhhh how great

[soilstories]

hah, never knew 1. she inspired that song and 2. was a stripper. fucking love you, kathleen hanna.

[AlphabetSoupCircus]

@soilstories apparently, kurt was dating a girl at the time who wore "teen spirit" deodorant and she was making fun of him. xD

[dark3rbol]

@AlphabetSoupCircus He was dating Tobi Vail, a band mate of Kathleen's in Bikini Kill.

[benboogaloo]

aw man! i can't believe how long ago this was. this makes me so nostalgic! nirvana was my first favorite band. my late middle school/early high school friends and i covered our walls with nirvana pictures cut outta circus magazine. we always wished we could've seen them play. too bad we were like 10 or 11 when kurt cobain died.

[TheLaughFactory]

Love rock 'n roll memories.

[op2910]

great story!

[ybambi]

Awesome!! Full of awesome!!

[pioughd87]

such a great story. a little depressing thinking about how long it's been since songs like Rebel Girl were cutting edge.

[jessismissworld]

THIS IS EPIC. This is the definition of epic. And her version is epic.

[moviemonkeys]

@jessismissworld hang on, don't we know each other from Tumblr? haha so awesome. (and yeah, it's so epic)

[jessismissworld]

@moviemonkeys @moviemonkeys YES, yes you do! Hi E.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jipsifallon]

I love this fucking story and how she tells it!

[WeirdAl68]

Well now isn't this just unexpected and random?

[DiscoLocoHackney]

@WeirdAl68 indeed! but charmingly so....

[TaylorRama]

I've missed her.
