Kurt is a funny dude if you think about it. As Weird Al never does a parody unless the artist gives him permission, so I can imagine how that went when Weird Al went to ask Kurt. Haha Kurt probably thought the idea was brilliant and just funny, as well it's Weird Al parodying one of your songs lol
@@rsmith02 Yeah the internet led me to that answer just a bit after I made this comment. Kurt just asked Weird Al, "Will it be about food!" when he called him to ask.
man nirvana is getting gimmicky with thier concerts with those cheerleaders, at least cobain is a little more understandable now, novoselic hair is looking a little ratty though, pat smear pulled the whole song through though when cobain decided to stop playing like right at the beggining, lol like wtf, your the lead, play the guitar, grohls drumming has seemed to gotton worse, and who the heck was that guy on the keyboard
it was all sad and boring until he filled his mouth with water.. then i started singing and banging my head. That's probably due to the reaction of the audience.
@@bl5533 and I think we’re all glad Kurt Cobain paused for a beat after Al asked him if he could do the song about how the lyrics were hard to understand and then said “yeah I think that’ll be funny”. If I read right, the song revived his career.

I've wondered this since seeing Al perform live in 2013: do those two cheerleaders travel with the band? Or do they hire separate dancers in each city? It seems so odd to have backup dancers for only one song.
Honestly, I bet that had Kurt lived, he WOULD have played this! I saw Nirvana live - I think at the Crocodile in Seattle, (L-O-U-D!!) I could easily see Grohl on drums and Krist on bass! Would Kurt have gargled? Yup! Long live Al and Rest in peace Kurt. Krist could have done an accordion solo too!! 😁
This has to have Killed Als Voice. How can you scream like that and Not Hurt your Voice. it definitely Destroys my Voice everytime I do the Screaming Part from this Song.
@@tamerlanenj I still have trouble with that when I do Teen Spirit Covers irl. I can sound Loud and Raspy and Powerful And similar to Kurt Cobain but I usually Always Scream as Hard as I Can and Put Everything I have into it until I Blow out my Voice at the End in order to get that sound and I almost Always end up Destroying my Voice for a few days.
He was, and he and the band loved it. Kurt also said in an interview that when Weird Al asked to parody the song, he knew that Nirvana had made it big.
Can you please tell me why the guitar he’s supposed to be using is a 69 lake placid blue mustang, however he’s using a Stratocaster with a telecaster head stock (yeah, I know. I’m a nerd. No need to tell me)
You probably think that be he’s not actually playing the guitar the vocals are recorded live and the guitar is just a reference to the music video along with the rest of his outfit

If you meant Kurt, he actually really liked it. He liked the music video Al made better than the original, and said he felt like he had finally made it once Weird Al covered him. The song was released before UA-cam, when Cobain was still alive.
He’s the one who gave permission and asked if it was gonna be about food, Weird Al told him it was gonna be about how no one understands his lyrics and Kurt thought it was funny, just look it up like the previous commenter said theres a whole interview on it
He's "playing" left handed. Nice touch.
im left handed really and i have a left handed fender telacaster
He’s talented eh
i don't think it really matters weather your left or right handed. im right handed but i can play this song just as good.
I'm left handed but don't even play left handed guitar lmao I just learnt right handed cause it was what my right handed older brother hax
Kurt played left handed that’s why it’s a nice touch
Love how the bass player even lowered his bass way bellow his waist like Krist
The ridiculous choreography of the cheerleaders makes this even more awesome than it already it is.
But say what you want, the girls have skill and talent!
i love how he doesnt even plug in the guitar, weird.....
James Williamson what ye is this ?
His band has a different guitarist... he's just mimicking Cobain
@@rsmith02 yea
@Ryder why

Weird Al is one of the most important figures in music history.

Weird Al is the only one..
The closest thing to a Nirvana concert in the 21st century.

Just need to get Dave on drums and Krist on bass. Nobody will notice Kurt being replaced with Al
“And I forgot the next verse”
(complete silence)
“Oh well, never mind.”
Weird Al is a genius
he's so random i love him
he who is tired of weird al is tired of life
His technique is flawless
So smooth. Almost as if he wasn’t playing at all during some parts

Fun fact: Krist Novoselic, Nirvana’s incredible bass player, is also an accordion player like Al.
I love that when he forgot the last verse he finished it with the actual lyrics
That's the joke. Usually the fans sing the lyrics here flawlessly, must have been one of the first concerts where he played this one.
I believe Al completely forgot his third verse! Could you believe that?
No...it was a rip on Kurt being so trashed that he would forget his lines.
@@truesoulghost2777 if only someone made a joke about it 🤔
This is the man who memorised how to sing the last part of Amish Paradise backwards, so… probably!
I can imagine this being a live Nirvana concert if they were still around
Imagine Nirvana covering Weird Al's parody of Nirvana. Almost wish you could see it.
1:51 my favorite line from any weird al song
*takes the whole stand with the mic during the last verse*
Its the fact the song slowly speeds up
