Can't go wrong with a little "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

 

I never knew the words to that song. They are so hard to decipher. Which is why Weird Al's version was so hilarious to me.

 

So, I was watching the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Joan Jett doing the lead singing with the two remaining members. I put the closed caption on to see the words.

 

Holy crap - I was better off not knowing them. They make ZERO sense!

 

The tune is good, though. I was just under the impression that the words were something life changing, with all the acclaim the song got.
