"Weird Al" Yankovic - Smells Like Nirvana

"Weird Al" Yankovic's parody song, "Smells Like Nirvana," is a humorous take on the iconic Nirvana hit, "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Released in 1992, this acclaimed track showcases Yankovic's musical and comedic talents. With his signature accordion-driven style and clever lyrics, Yankovic perfectly mimics Kurt Cobain's unique vocal style and enigmatic demeanor.

The song features rolling drums by Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, thundering bass by Steve Jay, and crunchy guitars by Jim West, who form the backbone of Yankovic's band. Their tight musical arrangement and spot-on Nirvana impersonation create an uncanny likeness to the original grunge anthem.

"Smells Like Nirvana" delivers a flurry of playful and satirical references to the music industry, poking fun at frontman Cobain's sometimes incomprehensible lyrics. This song showcases Yankovic's ability to parody not only the music but also the style and attitude of the artists he emulates.

You can enjoy and download the delightful sounds of "Smells Like Nirvana" here. Indulge in this comedic tribute that pays homage to the iconic rock band while adding Yankovic's signature brand of humor.

A garage band from Seattle
And I forgot the next verse
Ayiyaaaaaah!
Ayonawa, hodinawa
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
Can you tell me what I'm sayin'?
Can't figure any lyrics out
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
Didn't think so
Don't know, don't know, don't know, I don't know!
Don't know, don't know, don't know, I don't know!
Don't know, don't know, don't know...
Don't know, don't know, don't know...
Don't know, don't know, don't know...
Here we are now, we're Nirvana
Hing!
How do the words to it go?
I just can't get it through my skull
It's unintelligible
Odinaya, yodinaya
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
Sayonara, sayonawa
So have you got some idea?
The lyric sheet's so hard to find
We're so loud and incoherent
Well it sure beats raisin' cattle
Well, I'll see ya
Well, I'm yellin' and we're playin'
Well, we don't sound like Madonna
What are the words, oh nevermind
What is this song all about?
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Yeah!
Yeah!
