oh snap, we're breaking format again to bring you the antithesis/doppelganger/opposite of last week's epic all-nirvana backwards tribute, featuring nirvana covering other bands... with bands... covering nirvana.
"OH MY GOD THAT'S SO REVOLUTIONARY I DON'T EVEN KNOW I'VE LOST THE ABILITY TO CAN"
yeahyeahyeah, anyway. it is my desire to bring forth some maybe lesser known (except for tori amos' cover of "smells like teen spirit"; i think we've all heard it by now, but it is pretty darn different, and therefore earns a spot here) and slightly weirder covers, whilst at the same time avoiding ripping off the entire nearvana - san francisco album. (seriously, it's pretty awesome) so yes, now, to the music~

lyrics: sell the kids for food
weather changes moods
spring is here again
reproductive glands
he's the one
who likes all our pretty songs
and he likes to sing along
and he likes to shoot his gun
but he knows not what it means
knows not what it means when i say
he's the one
who likes all our pretty songs
and he likes to sing along
and he likes to shoot his gun
but he knows not what it means
knows not what it means when i say
we can have some more
nature is a whore
bruises on the fruit
tender age in bloom
he's the one
who likes all our pretty songs
and he likes to sing along
and he likes to shoot his gun
but he knows not what it means
knows not what it means when i say
he's the one
who likes all our pretty songs
and he likes to sing along
and he likes to shoot his gun
but he knows not what it means
knows not what it means when i say
he's the one
who likes all our pretty songs
and he likes to sing along
and he likes to shoot his gun
but he knows not what it means
knows not what it means when i say
he's the one
who likes all our pretty songs
and he likes to sing along
and he likes to shoot his gun

knows not what it means
knows not what it means
knows not what it means when i say

nirvana - scentless apprentice
big shocker, amazon doesn't have bile's cover of "scentless apprentice". damn, amazon, you're really dropping the ball here, son. however, they do have bile's cover of "midlife crisis". that's some good stuff there... gonna have to get that one. anywho.
lyrics: like most babies smell like butter
his smell smelled like no other
he was born scentless and senseless
he was born a scentless apprentice
go away
go away
go away
every wet nurse refused to feed him
electrolytes smell like semen
i promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
there are countless formulas for pressing flowers
go away
go away
go away
i lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms
leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
you can't fire me cuz i quit
throw me in the fire and i won't throw a fit
go away
go away
go away
go away
go away
go away
go away

it's fun to lose
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
hello, hello, hello
with the lights out
it's less dangerous
here we are now
entertain us
i feel stupid
and contagious
here we are now
entertain us
a mulatto
an albino
a mosquito
my libido
i'm worse at what i do best
and for this gift i feel blessed
our little group has always been
and always will until the end
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello
with the lights out
it's less dangerous
here we are now
entertain us
i feel stupid
and contagious
here we are now
entertain us
a mulatto
an albino
a mosquito
my libido
and i forget just why i taste
oh yeah, i guess it makes me smile
i found it hard, it was hard to find
oh well, whatever, nevermind
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello
with the lights out
it's less dangerous
here we are now
entertain us
i feel stupid
and contagious
here we are now
entertain us
a mulatto
an albino
a mosquito
my libido
