Yesterday afternoon, our little family was walking home from church. When we were almost home, some middle-aged guy driving an expensive car was blaring his grunge rock at an obscenely high volume. There's just something funny about seeing a guy in his mid-40s rocking out to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Of course, as I heard it, all I could think about was Weird Al's version, which, in my humble opinion, is much, much better.
If you know the song, you'll appreciate Weird Al's first two verses:
What is this song all about?
Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you'd tell me, I don't know
Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
And I don't know what I'm singin'
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
I still don't know what I'm singin'
We're so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents
Here's Weird Al's parody:
