I’ve always wondered what the words to that song are.
Well, whatever.

I think that is the chorus. Google found the phrases; I have not heard it.
I have a difficult time believing that someone in North America has not at some point heard Smells Like Teen Spirit. I’m not accusing you, Jim, of being a closet Nirvana fan, it’s just a song you’re likely to hear at the grocery store these days, or somewhere else in public.
I wonder if anyone has recorded a samba version of it. I imagine so. I would expect there are covers in any genre you’d want to name.
Here’s Sturgill Simpson’s version of “In Bloom”.
I like it and the video is properly weird.

If I ever heard it in the background somewhere, I did not know what it was, and yes, I live in North America.
If you ever get the chance to see him live, do it.
Our little group has always been and always will until the end.
“Bleach” is by far their best album, btw.
I literally had to google that lyric because although I’ve heard that song 17,000 times and that’s just in the supermarket I have no idea what 80% of the lyrics are. I had no idea it was from SLTS.
I gave Dave Grohl a kiss once, you know. I can’t remember whether I’ve mentioned this before.

Dave Grohl is high on my list of people I’d like to drink beers with.
You remember the band, side project, Brad? I got proper lit with Stone Gossard and their drummer (can’t remember his name) in a random Chicago bar 20 something years ago.
Gossard couldn’t play darts for shit.

Yeah, I can see how that slips your mind.
Well, I mean, I tell a lot of stories around here and a good many of them are true and sometimes I just cannot REEcollect.
Pics out it didn’t happen.
We didn’t have cell phones back then.
I was at a show at the old 9:30 Club. I’ve broached this before, but I was in there all the time. I wish I knew who I’d gone to see that night, but it’s impossible to say. After the show I was filing out of the club. There were two ways out, you could leave the way you entered, which was to walk out of the main room and into a long hallway that led to the street. Or you could walk down a nearly equally long hallway that paralleled the entry hallway and led to a second bar. Along this internal sort of passageway there were places to sit and booths maybe and, eventually a smallish bar. This is the bar where I was sitting minding my own business when a seriously altered Bob Forrest then of Thelonious Monster and now of Celebrity Rehab appeared and after some back and forth we exchanged shirts, his having been previously owned by Flea. So I had Flea’s shirt. It had a pattern of tall ships. He inadvertently put my shirt on backwards and when a bandmate of his pointed this out he took off his jeans and put them on backwards, too. That’s how he appeared on stage, in my shirt, backwards, and his jeans, backwards. They were really good that night.
So I was filing out by way of the back bar and there sat Dave Grohl. This was JUST as Nevermind was going nutso and he was clearly not totally accustomed to people knowing who he was. For reasons I can’t remember I had a Hershey’s Kiss in my hand, and as I approached him he was kind of looking at me and I held out my hand in a way that made it obvious that I was giving him something and passed him the Kiss. He took it with some surprise and looked up at me with an expression of, like, Score!

I grant you guys that once upon a time I had a pretty interesting time of things. Now I find myself chatting with third graders and cleaning out the litter box.
