- To anyone who feels the need to be a homophobe, or use hateful epithets, I may not be able to monitor the comments section all the time, but when I do I will just delete your comments. Here is a little video for all you bigots: • Video
Kurt once grafittied "homosexual sex rules" on the wall of his high school. That was in the 80s when supporting gays was a big no-no
Unlike now where everyone accepts homosexuality 100%.
thats wat the joke there was they were being sarcastic lmao
+Nick Lazear ah ty i dont always pick up on that v well
Kurt wrote "Everyone is gay" on All Apologies. He said he wondered if he should have been a gay guy's play toy in one interview instead of being a rock star. Like gay guys, Kurt loved girl rockers like The Breeders, The Raincoats, Transvision Vamp & Edie Brickell.
That's the real teen spirit
"At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favour for us - leave us the fuck alone. Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records." - Kurt Cobain. Remember him as he was.
Yeah, Kurt himself said that he isn't gay but that he wished he was so that he could piss homophobes off. I loved Kurt.
longfellowrocked wonder what Kurt would be if he was born a gen Z, he'd spend all day on instagram liking edgy memes that are now the counter culture (the opposite of what it was back then) he would liked to be straight just to piss libtards off ebic style
@@michaelcooper4010 hey gen-z here, and yeah fuck edgy memes. homophobes can suck my fucking dick and fuck my peers for using jokes to hide their hateful attitudes. fuck the transphones, fuck insta, shits gone fucking out of pocket
Homophobes Are Just Pissed Cuz They Can't Get Laid
I love how this is tagged as 'education'
Why did people click on this song just to be homophobic. I'm straight and love nirvana , but I find absolutely nothing wrong with homosexuals or this song.
+Gareth Idiot
Kurt also loved Pansy Division, so there's that.
Literally Kurt was part of the LGBT too. He was a supporter of equality as well.
Ugh literally being an edgy counter culture teen, I'd love to see his reaction to his praised counter culture becoming mainstream, I bet he'd spend the day shitposting about minorities and women
Tlilticoatl Art Kurt even told homophobes to not buy/listen go his music
Of course Kurt loved this he was a strong supporter of the lgbt and women rights and he hated smells like teen spirit that even he would make fun of it
Yep
He was bisexual
@@cullenscott7940 I don't think so, I remember him saying he wished he was gay to piss of the homophobes
It was released after he died. He never heard it
It was released as the B-side to Fem In A Black Leather Jacket in 1992, two years before he died. @@sliat1981
I found an album by these guys in my library of all places. Imagine the fuss it caused playing the album at high volume back then. I just couldn't help myself, gay rock instead of the high energy high camp stuff that was the "gay thing" back then.
Can't believe it has been almost 20 years since I found that tape. I then went to my local "Virgin Megastore" and ordered it causing the poor bloke taking my order some embarrassment as there were three other shop staff at that CS desk.
Though he got his revenge one Saturday when the shop was full by shouting at me across the floor that the album was brilliant and would a I like to meet up for a drink. I was so shocked I just said yes, while a couple of my friends were trying to stop themselves falling over with laughter as they knew I hated such public acts. I have never gone so read before or even since then.
Dermacrosis that sounds adorable
I ship it.
Kurt Cobain LOVED this, by the way......
How do you know?
Ghost phone duh.
@@sewingmachine420 listen to the interview with john savage
Shame his wife didn't
@@Black_Sunshine I think your about six years late to this comment
They missed the chance to rhyme "Repeater" with "weiner"
The Trolliest Troll i love weiner
Yankovic stated that when he called Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain to ask if he could parody the song, Cobain gave him permission, then paused and asked, "Um... it's not gonna be about food, is it?" Yankovic responded with, "No, it'll be about how no one can understand your lyrics." According to members of Nirvana interviewed for Behind the Music, when they saw the video of the song, they laughed hysterically. Additionally, Cobain described Yankovic as "a musical genius."
They only agreed to do a show with Nirvana if they could do this version of it.Because they were tired of hearing "Smells like Teen spirit" all over the radio.Turns out, Nirvana loved the idea.(I'm reading "I Found My Friends The Oral History of Nirvana".Funny stuff)Nirvana encouraged other bands to spoof their success.Bjorn Again did a cover for them of it in the same gig.They watched from the audience taking photos.
btw kurt would of fucking loved this.this is more nirvana than nirvana.
Just watching an interview with Nardwuar where the band is mentioned and yeah, Kurt was certainly aware of them and seemed happy about it
so true
Probably done with the full approval of Kurt Cobain, "the most openly pro-gay rocker of his generation," to quote The Advocate. Oh, and this differs from the Nirvanna original in that you can actually understand the lyrics. :)
The first time I heard this I thought I was just hearing the lyrics clearly for the first time.
David Cheater funny because when they told Kurt about parodying their song they told him “ it’s about how people can’t understand your lyrics “
Kurt loved it when he actually heard it
I couldn't help but think this is the best remake of teen spirit from Nirvana
hell yeah it is -obed
I love unapologetically gay songs
saw these guys play years and years ago (probably around 98 or 99)
I think they were playing with The Mr. T Experience. it was a great show. I miss those days.
i also remember pansy division once opening for green day and they thought the shock factor was so funny
will the commie i word pay just to see PD Green Day word just be a bonus
"Spray silly string around their rooms" gets me every time. XD
Catch me bopping to this down the halls of schools and hoping to god everyone thinks I'm just listening to smells like teen spirit.
Reminder that Kurt was super pro gay,and hated homophobes.Im sure he’d eat this up.
Axolotl Hamilton He did eat this up. Look it up.
For context, Jesse Helms was a conservative authoritarian who wanted to control, illegalize, or restrict all non-procreative practices, including things like queerness and birth control. This is commented on in the pamphlet Queers Read This, which gives more background.
@mikey12093 Nope, here's part of the 'lost interview with Kurt Cobin'
cobain: never. pansy division covered "teen spirit" and reworked the words to "smells like queer spirit," and thanked us in the liner notes. i think it said, "thank you to nirvana for taking the most pro-gay stance of any commercially successful rock band." that was a real flattering thing. it's just that it's nothing new to any of my friends, because of the music we've been listening to for the last 15 years now.
First off, oldinfant23, Kurt was never bi. Kurt once mentioned that he wished he was bi or gay so he’d piss off all the homophobes that listened to his music. Second, Kurt was totally fine with this song.
First time I hear this song (even when I "sort of" knew the band from a time ago) but this it's funny as shit, as punk is (supposed to be) funny, and all about first thought best thought! I don't get at all why people goes mad at this song! C'mon Kurt kissed Krist a lot of times in their presentation (well, they engaged in fights too, but that's not the point here!) besides they (Nirvana) said a lot of times that people that didn't liked gays or womens stopped going to their concerts!
why isn't this on Spotify
Play fugazi.. Play repeater!!!!!!
I listen to a great alternative music show in Sydney. Whenever some moron rings up the station to request Nirvana, Wayne (the DJ) promises he'll play some and then plays this. LOL
At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records.- Kurt Cobain Incesticide liner notes
Thank you for reminding us this comment! So people who is saying this song insults Nirvana/Kurt or themselves could wrap their minds around it!
I am going to write the gayest song. 10 gay. I'm bi
play this at my funeral
This is a pretty cool cover. I like that they didn't just redo the guitar solo for the bridge.
Happy pride
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands!
The bass player is from Aberdeen WA, Kurts hometown!
If you love Nirvana and Kurt, you have to love this bc this is the cover he would have loved
Kurt did in fact love this
LOL, F**k my ribs hurts from laughing.......definately a song I should listen to cheer myself up! ha ha ha ha....
Just kiss another guy....come on, try it, bet you'll like it ;)
No one wants to kiss me cuz i'm trans XD
@@connermason7874 youses valid
@@connermason7874 thats a damn mood
As a lesbian, I promise I won't
This. Is. Perfection!
If only I could find an instrumental of this song, that guitar is just as great as the one in the original song
I'm pretty sure the last time I heard this was on an old 45 record that I got at a sales booth at a college dormitory way back in the day
Saw these guys in like 1993 or 1994 as an opening act for Helmet and Henry Rollins!
Ifucking love that they put propagandhi in their comments video that songs the shit
kurt would love this :0
He did.
He did
NO DENIAL. Great cover.
They've always been one of the most fantastic punk rock bands, Pansy Division. PLAY FUGAZI PLAY REPEATER bwahahahahaahah
You become what you hate... or just live in denial for the rest of your life. I feel sorry for all of you trolls on here.
Lol who else listened to this on the way to pride?
I'm setting this to my ringtone
@quoidanslemondequoi Ummmm no Kurt Cobain wrote "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Patty Smith did a cover of it. So did Tori Amos and Paul Anka. Wow. I really don't understand where people come up with stuff. Teen Spirit was a deodorant marketed to teen girls by the way started in 91, lost its popularity.
Did Kurt ever hear this? I think he would have loved it!
He did. I'm pretty sure they first played this when they opened for Nirvana
@@AriOrSomething great to know Thanks for the info
@mikey12093
nope, he did an interview in 1993 where he mentions the Pansy Division's version. Google 'The Lost Interview with Kurt Cobain'. It's a great interview.
i love pansy division
Is this for real?
I'm impressed... I have to admit, "I love Pansy Division!"
:D
Andrew
x
This is beautiful
Wow thats them?. They are cute! I am gay but love straight men but they do look nice!
So good!
WHY IS THIS SONG GOOD
@alexfanx yep...and dis one actually makes sense!
Kurt would have loved this
Smells like teen spirit (better version)
kurt liked gays. he would have been tickled pink with this
@generalityrandom777 Many people have covered SLTS and I agree that it's a REMARKABLE song but still, no one deserves to be tortured and stuff just because they covered it and changed the lyrics. It actually shows respect towards Nirvana and the song.
Fantastic. Wish my daugther was queer rather than getting me worried!
This is awesome haha love nirvana and love pansy division
Great statement these days. Love.
its punk and queercore (actual genre) so no one cares if it offends you.
Is a legend for a kids that see MTV
he died b4 it was released, it was weird al's version he was talking about. as a supporter of gay rights, i'm sure he would have loved this though
Uh... no this is not correct. This song was released in 1992, and Kurt was a fan of their version.
Jordan May lyrics.fandom.com/wiki/Pansy_Division:Smells_Like_Queer_Spirit
@@jordanmay1041 wrong you’re thinking of Weird Al’s version
@@sliat1981 I stand corrected. Song was released by Pansy Division in 1995, after Kurt's death. You are correct.
What I was trying to say is that this was recorded after Kurt died, but that I didn't think he'd mind since he was a fan of Weird Al's parody, and I thought it was unfair for Birdgirl01 to assume that "He soo didn't want" PD to cover it.
anyone else here find out about these guys from the new green day documentary
Collin Lane Nope. From Coming Out on Top. 😎
You figure that out all by yourself? (Golf claps) Good job.
Lyrics?
whenever i hear this song all i can thin of is weird al's version...bargle bargle gargle... ;)
No...I think I remember him talking about this version in a nardwaur interview or something.
Im not even gay , but this is the greatest thing I've ever heard from the nonconformist eighties and nineties.
I accidentally ran into Pansy Division at a rally in San Lorenzo Park in Santa Cruz, California. I'm straight but love these guys.
These guys rank up there as understudy of the Ramones!
Well, and, to me, the Ramones are Gods.
@xXgrungie yes she has some sort of undeserved since of entitlement she should give up while she is ahead you know what i miss real grunge now that was music
@xXgrungie no kidding your right she would have no claim to fame if it was not for her dad everything she has is because of him all of her songs involve a god damn synthesizer
I love people who can't understand when somebody is joking.
Haha one of the best tributes to this song. Also, I recommend checking out the Melvin's cover. LGBT Pride all :)
@Birdgirl01
Is that even possible? Anyways, I'm pretty sure Kurt would have been cool with it. He LOVED Weird Al's.
i love these guys
this is so brilliant
Couldn’t pull off the solo huh?
would love the lyric 4 this
AMAZING!! THIS BAND KICKS ASS! Who gives a rat's ass if your gay, your still awesome. And this band is awesome!
did you get here how i think you got here
this is hilarious !!!
I fucking love that they put propagandhi in their comments video that songs the shit
that sort of makes sense.
how many of you are gay? Like this to support homosexuality.
Chingon
@xXgrungie i suppose your right but nothing can truly be as good as the original i am just saying that i was mad at first but now i can see your view as a sign of respect still i did find wierd al yankoviks really offensive and demeaning
@DragonSorrows he said that ... you better read his biography on wikipedia...
It's not wrong to sing about sex in abundance like this, look at Adam ant. Humans are very sexual beings there's sex in everything so what's wrong with another band that's at least singing about something that could do with the publicity
Kurt Cobain would be proud!
IS A GREAT BAND!!!
Haha, Nirvana would fucking love this.
Also, this was recorded in 1995, so unless you meant to say "Kurt's splattered brains didn't want Pansy Division to cover the song", you're not making any sense.
Liam T this came out before 95, Kurt knew about it, nardwuar brings it up in a 1994 interview
