Weird Al asked Cobain if he can do a parody of Smells Like Teen Spirit and in like five seconds Cobain said, "Of course you can do a parody." The famous quote from Kurt was, "Is it going to be a song about food?" because at that point that's primarily what I was known for. And I said, "Well, no, it's going to be a song about how nobody can understand your lyrics." And he said, "Oh, sure, of course, that's funny."

This came out back before he died, and Kurt said it made him laugh so hard he was in tears. He also said weird al is a genius and that he didn't realize he had really made it until weird al wanted to do a parody of him,

[Evan Houston]

No he isn't. You are the one who is jealous.
