“The song was a call to reflect on his own conscience,” said Krist Novoselic 2000 – a hand grenade of avengers Cobain against the disappearance of youth culture in the throat of the large corporations.
Producer Butch Vig heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit” for the first time in early 1991, recorded by Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic in a rehearsal barn in Tacoma, Washington. On cassette, over ghettoblaster. It sounded horrible.
Hello, Hello ‘part and the chords “
Vig, who was supposed to look after the Nirvanas Major label debut “Nevermind”, did not listen to the song that he would soon turn the underground punk a new mainstream. And Cobain, a problem loaded young man with strict indie ethics, to the megastar. “Somehow I heard the” Hello, Hello’-part and the chords, “said Vig later. “But everything was so indistinct that I didn’t know what I was expecting from it.”
“Teen Spirit” blew the remaining remains of the 80s overnight from the pop map. “The song was a call to reflect on your own conscience,” said Novoselic 2000 – a hand grenade of avenger cobain against the disappearance of youth culture in the throat of the large corporations, invited with the malicious chorus: “Here we are now, Entertain Us.”
With the sentence, Cobain often came to parties, “to break the ice,” as he said. The line also illuminated, said Novoselic, “as Kurt saw the world. He could also be what he sits in front of the television and gray him from pop culture”.
Copy of the pixies?
Cobain used the sound of his favorite band, the pixies. The cunning Hooks also reflected his admiration for John Lennon. According to Butch Vig, there was “this contradiction between punk anger and alienation on the one hand and vulnerable pop sensitivity on the other.
With ‘Teen Spirit’ this vulnerability is particularly in his voice ”. Too bad that Cobain had enough of the end of the last US tour at the end of ’93 to have to play“ teen spirit ”every evening. “There are many other songs from me that are just as good if not better,” he said.

Load Up on Guns, Bring Your Friends
It’s fun to loose and to pretend
She’s over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, i know a dirty word
Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low
Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low
Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low

I Feel Stupid and Contagious
Here we are now, Entertain US
A Mulatto, Albino, A Mosquito, My Libido

Nirvana – “Smells Like Teen Spirit”: Lyrics – Translation
Snap a bunch of weapons
And bring your friends with you
It’s fun to lose and pretend as if
She is bored with death and confident
Oh no, already understood, that’s a dirty word
Hello, hello, how deep down?
Hello, hello, how deep down?
Hello, hello, how deep down?
Hello, Hello, Hello …
It is less dangerous when the lights are off
Here we are, now let’s say something
I feel stupid and infectious
Here we are, now let’s say something
A mulatte
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yay! Hey! Yay!
Even with what I can do best, I’m bad
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our small group has always been like that
And it will always be until the end
Hello, hello, how deep down?
Hello, hello, how deep down?
Hello, hello, how deep down?
Hello, Hello, Hello …
It is less dangerous when the lights are off
Here we are, now let’s say something
I feel stupid and infectious
Here we are, now let’s say something
A mulatte
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yay! Hey! Yay!
Don’t know why I taste it
Oh yes, I think that makes me laugh
I found it difficult, it was difficult to find
Oh, I don’t care, already good
Hello, hello, how deep down?
Hello, hello, how deep down?
Hello, hello, how deep down?
Hello, Hello, Hello …
It is less dangerous when the lights are off
Here we are, now let’s say something
I feel stupid and infectious
Here we are, now let’s say something
A mulatte
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
