omg, i havnt heard this song for ever. i was a freshmen in high school when he died, i grew up in seattle, so as you can imagine. he was god. plus i have the same name as him. so i always felt a bond to him and nirvana.. im proud to say i lived and continue to live the grunge life style. rip kurt. ive missed your great music. but love the music you left us with. thanks. your fan curt.....
Nirvana are musical gods. I swear one of the best bands of the late 80's mid 90's Absolutely amazing band they are my favorite band and have been for ages. they have a sound that i just cant find anywhere else Cobain was a genius. and hes right up there with hendrix and zeppelin imo and this song is absolutely phenomenal. Beautiful I'd do anything in this world to shake that mans hand just once. he was a truly amazing man R.I.P Kurt D. Cobain!
The song "Polly" by Nirvanna was released on the Nevermind album in 1991 becaues the label didn't want it released on the Bleach album. The album Incesticide was released in 1992 that had a new version of "Polly" on it.
Courtney should authorize a re-issue of this album. It really needs to be remastered and the volume of the songs be turned up so we get a fuller sound. I have the vinyl of this album too and it sounds just pristine.
"Polly" is based on an actual incident which occurred in Tacoma in June of 1987. A Fourteen-year-old girl returning from a punk show at the Community World Theater was kidnapped by a man named Gerald Friend (no relation to Lonn), who hung the girl upside down from a pulley attached to the ceiling of his mobile home and raped and tortured her with a leather whip, a razor, hot wax, and a blowtorch. She later escaped from his car when he stopped for gas.
Kurt's got heart... wouldn't find many artists with the vision to make a track about it. I think he also used the proceeds for the girl's charity (she escaped like in the song)
Cobain wrote "Polly" after reading a newspaper article about the abduction, torture and rape in June 1987 of a 14-year-old girl by Gerald Arthur Friend; Friend had picked her up near the Tacoma Dome in his car after she had attended a rock concert. She was able to earn his trust and sympathy by convincing him she enjoyed it. She managed to escape when he stopped for gas. She got out of the vehicle and made a scene attracting attention from surrounding people. (Wiki)
Esta Versión de Polly es del Disco Nevermind, La versión del Disco Incesticide es otra./This version is the Disco Polly Nevermind , the album version is another Incesticide.
new wave polly is on inesticide this version is on nevermind i have a boring fact 4 u! polly is the most featured nirvana song, it apperars on 3 albums, nevermind, inesitcide and unplugged in new york!
For you guys that don't know Who he's referring to As "Polly", Polly is a 14 year old girl that was Raped & tortured for two days after being abducted after leaving a rock concert. There is another story about a girl named "Polly Klass" buyt i'm pretty sure it's not about her (She has the same story as the First Polly) since She was raped & killed in 1993 when Nirvana's "Nevermind" ablum came out in 1991.
Perhaps someone else said this already but I'll say it anyway: There is another version of this song with drums. The comment might have not been in reference to that version but hey, Maybe new fans will learn of that other version through this comment.
@hunterhearsthelmsy I haven't got a clue :P i assumed she was a parrot as Polly is fairly often used as a name for parrots. But the lyrics made me think otherwise.. :S
Yes, but in which state? PTSD - post traumatic stress - kills you slowly if you cannot get cured for it. Some things are far more worse than "just death" in Life.
@N3kras Suicide is a perminent solution to a temporary problem. 3 years is a while but its still temporary. Been in a few holes myself. Hope you're doin better.

This song creeped me out with the skips... I was in a kind of trance while listening to it and playing it on my guitar, wow
My favorite Nirvana song.
This is Polly from the nevermind album.
Polly from the Incesticide album is new-wave, faster.
thank you. was wondering what was a little different.
Jenom jedna z mnoha kvalitních písní od Kurta. requiescat in pace

This is not the the Incesticide's version of "Polly".
+Mateus Gores its still a good version
Its not a tumah Yeah, I like both versions.
Courtney should authorize a re-issue of this album. It really needs to be remastered and the volume of the songs be turned up so we get a fuller sound. I have the vinyl of this album too and it sounds just pristine.
This is the Nevermind version. Incesticide's version is New Wave Polly.

Polly in nevermind

This is the Nevermind version of Polly... On Insesticide it's called (New Wave) Polly -- I'm looking right at the cover,
Kurt's got heart... wouldn't find many artists with the vision to make a track about it. I think he also used the proceeds for the girl's charity (she escaped like in the song)

Get your albums right kid
this song spazzes out at about 2:20 due to the greatness of Mr Cobain
Brasil (SP) Nirvana eterno.
new wave polly is on inesticide
this version is on nevermind
i have a boring fact 4 u! polly is the most featured nirvana song, it apperars on 3 albums, nevermind, inesitcide and unplugged in new york!
MI CANCIÓN FAVORITA *-*
class track man.
This song is about a guy who kidnaps a girl he calls "Polly." In the end of the song, "Polly" escapes.
@Trapt87 it was live at reading i remember watching it on utub
For you guys that don't know Who he's referring to As "Polly", Polly is a 14 year old girl that was Raped & tortured for two days after being abducted after leaving a rock concert.

this is saddic BUT SO FREAKIN HILARIOUS
The album of Polly it's Nevermind.
@Ryukyagamisan I thought she flirted her way out of it, so he would untie her. And when we went to get some food or something, she escaped.
Lol Polly is on the Nirvana Album.
Polly(new Wave) is on the Incestide album.
Perhaps someone else said this already but I'll say it anyway: There is another version of this song with drums. The comment might have not been in reference to that version but hey, Maybe new fans will learn of that other version through this comment.
omg are u serious? thats the most amazing story i've ever heard good thing from him to write a song about it !
@Ryukyagamisan oh really tht is sad thanks for tellin i have always wondered
@hunterhearsthelmsy I haven't got a clue :P i assumed she was a parrot as Polly is fairly often used as a name for parrots. But the lyrics made me think otherwise.. :S
yes this is the version from nevermind
@Ryukyagamisan Ah, the song actually makes sense now ..
Oh, that's good to know. I knew something didn't sound right...
promi-take a ride
Alex Lyster I got that too I was singing it so I got pissed
Polly ❤❤❤❤
i like the unplugged version best:)
@joey360x0 This version isnt but there is A version of polly on this album.
Now, you're ready to play New Wave Polly :D
nice song!
@pop7rox Well there is a Polly on Insecticide. x3
polly è dell'album NEVERMIND!!
Yes, but in which state? PTSD - post traumatic stress - kills you slowly if you cannot get cured for it. Some things are far more worse than "just death" in Life.
@devdhieuQA nooo you fool, this guy (the fan, the dude who wrote it) is called Curt with a 'C'
@N3kras Suicide is a perminent solution to a temporary problem. 3 years is a while but its still temporary. Been in a few holes myself. Hope you're doin better.
This is not Incesticide Polly.
Mihal Tšerný yeah. this is from nevermind. the one from incesticide is called (new wave) polly
This was on Nevermind.
@Ryukyagamisan Haha i just read that in the "come as you are" bio 5 mins ago :p
@El0nw0lf i was thinking he was refering to courtney love, and same with most of his songs, god kurt was in lot of pain man
new wave
This skips at the end. o:
yes...yes i believe she does :D
This song is actualy from Nevermind , and it wasn't ever on Intesticide.
@Ryukyagamisan foooook!! sick fooks in this world!
Well, you know, that's the double entendre.
yeah not this version but "new wave polly" was in incesticide,
in 1987 a 14 year old girl was kidnapped when she was returning from a concert in Tacoma, Washington. She was abducted by a man named Gerald Friend,
Gerald Friend raped the girl, and tortured her with a whip, razor and a blowtorch. When Gerald Friend took her for a ride and stopped for gas the girl escaped. Gerald Friend was sent to jail thanks to Nick Paramus.
@hunterhearsthelmsy A girl who was kidnapped and starved and tortured with a blowtorch, no joke.
This isn't from the incesticide album ;) This polly is from nevermind. The polly on incesticide is a newweave and faster version ;-) nice upload though
@AbarouneDaFishizzle Have you been smoking anything...if so...pretty much.
The Rape was actually after one of Nirvana's concerts
The story behind this song is sad.
its on Nevermind you dork!
This isn't the version from Incesticide. The version from Incesticide is faster and uses electric guitar.
What did you do with that amazing song?
Learn The (New Wave) It Isn't As Easy As This One For Sure!
... yhea... it is...
That's cause it is the version from Nevermind.
@addie1467 right when you're already into too
At the end, right?
this is of the neverminda album xD
@Trapt87 it wasnt on the 'best of' Nirvana fing was it?
"She's just as bored as me"
polly said...
@seanieXDseanie i like it too
This is the Nevermind's version.
This version of polly is from nevermind not insecticide
I fucking love the guitar ^^
Whoa.. Did it skip for anybody else??
The description of this video is wrong.
This song was written about an actual parrot.
I thought it was abotu rape
+End my Life I think it was sarcasm.
@MrMetalBurrito go ahead, no one's stopping you. I just thought id share.
can someone tell me the story behind this? i never knew nirvana much before this so dont hate cuz i dont know
did this song like skip 2 parts or something or what?
It's Nevermind*, not Nevermaind.
@Czarny : I want a kraken too. :)
definitely the polly off of nevermind.
at 2:23 it skips
This is on Nevermind?
hey dude this song is from Nevermind not from Incesticide.
ya wasnt kurt looking thru the paper and figured he should write about something other than his own experiences?
