My Top 3: Covers of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

8/23/2017

 
I remember in college, watching Nirvana perform Smells Like Teen Spirit on MTV. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I also remember them publishing a version of the video clarifying what the sometimes mumbled words were, and then seeing the video again interspersed with a grieving Courtney Love lamenting Kurt Cobain's untimely death. 

Fast forward many, many years. My daughter's junior high school band covered this song at a recent concert, which inspired me to find new, different covers of this now retro song.

Smells Like Teen Spirit: It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing

This version features a starlet Robyn Adele Anderson covering the song with a 1940's swing style.

Smells Like Teen Spirit: Full Orchestra and Choir

More instruments! More vocals! Even more smelling like Teen Spirit!

Smells Like Teen Spirit: A Capella

...and now for something completely different. This time, no instruments at all are needed. Instead, it's four guys, Maybebop,  with microphones in a hallway doing amazing things with only their voices.
