![]() ![]() ![]() That is a long time.Īs time goes on, my opinion that this song’s perceived importance can mostly be chalked up to the circumstances of its release. The crazy thing is that this came out in 2002, and at the time I remember thinking “man, it’s been so long since Kurt died!” but it’s now been 20 years since this song came out. This song seemed revelatory when it came out. I never, ever skip this song when it comes on shuffle. I can’t really rank it as highly as I would like to, because I’m sure that I’m actually not “correct” about this, strictly speaking. But the whole thing is just so dirty and fun and catchy to me.Īlso, the lounge-y noodling in the little bridge section is great.ĭudes, I love this song. And I know that Cobain talked about it kind of dismissively in at least one interview, and considered it kind of a throwaway. There’s one other Nirvana riff that I might like to play as much, but we haven’t actually covered that one on this series yet, so I won’t mention it…īut I guess if you’ve never played this song with your buddies in a jam space (preferably with a good drummer who can nail the intro), you might not have a sweet tooth for this song the way that I do. But the song starts off with what is probably my favourite Nirvana guitar riff to play. This mix of the song starts off with what sounds like Dave Grohl talking about a porno movie. Except maybe “Tourette’s”, but that’s in vibe only. That being said, it doesn’t really sound like anything else off of In Utero. It was recorded during the In Utero sessions, so it’s got that amazing In Utero/Steve Albini sound. It might be a top-ten Nirvana song for me. This one is a little tough for me, because I am pretty sure that I like this song a lot more than it actually deserves to be loved, and certainly more than it is loved by Nirvana fans at large. So when the compilation album came out, with a Nirvana song on it? I saved up and bought the shit out of it! On cassette! I don’t know about you, but I loved Beavis and Butthead. ![]()
