[Verse 1]
Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's overboard self assured
Oh no I know, a dirty word
[Hook]
Hello, hello, hello, hello?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, how low, 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 mulato!
An Albino!
A miskito!
My libido!
Yay! Hey! Yay!
[Verse 2]
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
[Hook]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
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
[Hook]

Track 1 on Nevermind
About Smells LIke Teen Spirit
One of Nirvana’s biggest hits, “Smells LIke Teen Spirit,” was the lead single off of their second, most successful album Nevermind. It was what made the band so popular, so naturally Kurt hated it and almost never performed it again.
Kathleen Hanna from Bikini Kill scrawled the phrase “Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit” in spray paint on a wall, from which Kurt took the title. Kurt took it as a call for a revolution, but it was later revealed Hanna was referring to the brand of deodorant worn by Kurt’s then-girlfriend (and Hanna’s then-bandmate) Tobi Vail
Voted 9th on the Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Songs All-Time.
