What's your opinion on the song "Smells like Teen Spirit"?

It's a song by Nirvana (for those who don't know but I doubt there are people here who has never heard of the song).

Anyway, if you have heard of the song (which I'm sure you have), what do you think of it? Does the song have a hidden message it's trying to tell? What's is the message it's trying to come across?

Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit Lyrics Verse 1-

Load up your guns
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's overboard and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Chorus-
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 mullato, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
yeah

Verse 2-
I'm worst at what I do best
And for this gift I am blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Chorus-
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 mullato, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
yeah

Bridge-

Verse 3-
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah I guess it makes me smile
I find it hard, hard to find
Oh well whatever nevermind

Chorus-
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 mullato, an albino
A mosquito, my libido


Yeah I'm trying to find the meaning of those lyrics.

Exactly. Not every song has to have meaning...He just got drugged up...said random things and came up with a hot beat/rhythm...

And we have a great song...

I like the beginning of it, but after that I rarely know what the hell Kurt is even saying. Its hard to get into a song when the singer is making up words as they go.

Smells like Nirvana by Weird Al Yankovic
What is this song all about?
Cant figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish youd tell me, I dont know
Dont know, dont know, dont know, oh no
Dont know, dont know, dont know...

Now Im mumblin and Im screamin
And I dont know what Im singin
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin
I still dont know what Im singin
Were so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents
Yeah

Its unintel-ligible
I just cant get it through my skull
Its hard to bargle nawdle zouss(? )
With all these marbles in my mouth
Dont know, dont know, dont know, oh no
Dont know, dont know, dont know...

Well, we dont sound like madonna
Here we are now, were nirvana
Sing distinctly? we dont wanna
Buy our album, were nirvana
A garage band from seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah

And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheets so hard to find
What are the words? oh, nevermind
Dont know, dont know, dont know, oh no
Dont know, dont know, dont know...

Well, Im yellin and were playin
But I dont know what Im sayin
Whats the message Im conveyin?

Can you tell me what Im sayin?
So have you got some idea?
Didnt think so -- well, Ill see ya
Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, odinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Ayaaaaaah!

My interpretation.

Here are the key lyrics Here we are now entertain us I feel stupid and contagious

The song is about going to a gig or concert to see a band and getting the energy off of it.

"Here we are now entertain us" was something Kurt said when he walked into a party. As for the rest you could be right.

What's your opinion on the song "Smells like Teen Spirit"?

It's a song by Nirvana (for those who don't know but I doubt there are people here who has never heard of the song).

Anyway, if you have heard of the song (which I'm sure you have), what do you think of it? Does the song have a hidden message it's trying to tell? What's is the message it's trying to come across?

I think its just nonsenceical lyrics, there nmo message to it,
