Smells Like Teen Spirt (Demo)
Nirvana · With The Lights Out [2004]
Come out and play
Make up the rules
I know, I hope
The tide is blue
Though some are dead
I'll walk from you
I know, I'll light
The way to go
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello!
I'm a liar and I'm famous
Here we are now, entertain us
we're and i'm famou
Here we are now, entertain us
A libido, an albino
A mulatto, a mosquito
Here we are now, entertain us
we're stupid and we're famous
Yeah!
Hey (x4)
Come out and play
Make up the rules
I know, I hope
To find the truth
We're wide awake
And heavy feeling
We'll go outside
And pray for me
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello!
I'm a liar and I'm famous
Here we are now, entertain us
we're so stupid, and i'm famous
Here we are now, entertain us
An albino, a mulatto
A libido, a mosquito
Here we are now, entertain us
we're so stupid and famous
Yeah!
Hey (x4)
Come out and play
Take off your clothes
Make up the rules
I'll see you in court
Another night afraid of you
I'm now a lie, the same as you
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello!
I'm lazy and famous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and we're famous
Here we are now, entertain us
A libido, an albino
A mosquito, a vagina
Here we are now, entertain us
We're so stupid, and famous
A denial! (x12)
Make up the rules

Smells Like Teen Spirit (Demo)
This recording captures the raw, unpolished energy of Nirvana's breakthrough hit during the sessions for the 2004 archival release With The Lights Out. The demo version retains the band's signature grunge sound, featuring the distorted guitars and aggressive vocals that defined the early 1990s alternative rock movement. Released alongside other unreleased tracks from the same period, this track highlights the band's evolution from their raw early work to the more refined production of their major label debut. It serves as a crucial document of the band's creative process and the specific sonic texture that would come to symbolize a generation.
