Tourette’sNirvana

The “Tourette” in the title refers to Tourette syndrome, a condition involving severe anger and violent outbursts.

The song is only 95 seconds long and features a mix of screamed vocals, overdriven guitars, and a pulsing drum beat.

It’s said that the final section, where Kurt Cobain shouts “Cold heart,” is the only fully intelligible lyric.

Track 7 from the third album, In Utero.

In addition to a noisy, swirling guitar sound reminiscent of R.

E.

M.

from a certain period, there are touches of an Asian flavor woven in here and there, making it a short yet highly memorable song.

Nirvana – Where did you sleep last night HD – Unplugged in new york {{Best Sound Quality}}
Where did you sleep last nightNirvana

It’s a cover song of Red Berries by Nirvana, but compared to the original, other versions, and even other songs, this might be my favorite.

Since Kurt took his own life afterward, it’s an incredibly poignant and sad song.

Downer – Nirvana (LYRICS)

A song in which Kurt Cobain attempted political lyrics.

The hidden track on the album Nevermind.

It wasn’t included on the first pressing.

The only way to hear this song is to wait 13 minutes and 51 seconds after all the tracks have finished.

Other albums known for including hidden tracks include Pearl Jam’s Ten and Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill.

Track 6 on the compilation album Incesticide.

A cover of a song by the Scottish band The Vaselines.

The Vaselines seemed to be a band Kurt admired, and he covered other songs of theirs as well.

While retaining the poppiness of the original, the harder, more aggressive sound makes it a remarkable cover.
