Smells Like Teen Spirit
Nirvana · With The Lights Out - CD 2
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
Yay!
Hey!
Hey!
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
Yay!
Hey!
Hey!
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, nevermind
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

Smells Like Teen Spirit
Released in 1991, Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' stands as a defining anthem of the grunge movement, reshaping the landscape of alternative rock. The track features Kurt Cobain's distinctive vocals and Dave Grohl's driving guitar work, capturing the raw energy and disillusionment of the early 1990s. Originally appearing on the compilation 'With The Lights Out,' the song transcended its initial release to become a cultural touchstone, influencing countless artists and solidifying Nirvana's status as the band that brought grunge to mainstream attention. Its enduring power lies in its unpolished yet visceral delivery, which challenged the polished production standards of the era and sparked a global musical renaissance.
