Load up on guns, bring your friends
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

Yeah, hey, yay

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

Yeah, hey, yay

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind

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

A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial


"Smell Like Teen Spirit" is a really famous song of the band Nirvana.
This song's from the album "Nevermind"(1991), in the same album there's another famous song called "Lithium" but all the songs in that album are beautiful.

The story of this song is quite funny,  it was quite a joke.
Kurt Cobain (singer, songwriter & guitarist of the band) had a party at his house and that night him and one of his friends were goofing (and kind of drunk too-) and writing graffiti all over the walls of his house and she wrote "Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit" and later on they had a kind of discussion about revolution, teen revolution and stuff like that. So he took that as a compliment, thinking she meant he's a person who could inspire... Turns out he thought it would be a nice title for the song and, after writing the song he discovered she just meant the deodorant (he didn't even know that type of deodorant existed lol-).

Curiosity:
You might not know the name Spencer Elden, you will almost certainly recognise him as the baby that featured swimming naked on the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind album, which sold over 30 million copies across the world.
