    This song literally was the death nail in the coffin of 80s glam rock. Changed the music scene overnight. Only around for a few years before the lead singer took his life. Drummer went on to form the Foo Fighters, 25 years strong. They have a string of FFantastic songs - the Pretender, Everlong, Best of You, Learn to Fly, Walk, Run, Rope, White Limo, Big Me, Sky is a Neighborhood.

    Lyrics:
    Load up on guns, bring your friends
    It's fun to lose and to pretend
    She's over-bored and self-assured
    Oh no, I know a dirty word
    Hello, hello, hello, how low
    Hello, hello, hello, how low
    Hello, hello, hello, how low
    Hello, hello, hello
    With the lights out, it's less dangerous
    Here we are now, entertain us
    I feel stupid and contagious
    Here we are now, entertain us
    A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
    Yeah, hey
    I'm worse at what I do best
    And for this gift I feel blessed
    Our little group has always been
    And always will until the end
    Hello, hello, hello, how low
    Hello, hello, hello, how low
    Hello, hello, hello, how low
    Hello, hello, hello
    With the lights out, it's less dangerous
    Here we are now, entertain us
    I feel stupid and contagious
    Here we are now,…

      It was an amazing time.. remember reading literally hundreds of articles about them. I recall no stations where I lived would play their stuff because it didn't fit on the top 40, wasn't classic rock, rap, country, wasn't metal, so it didn't fit in, so they just wouldn't play it. Started referring to it at first graciously as the Seattle sound... then as the olders clutched their pearls, Grunge was born screaming into the world 😄

    This song CHANGED THE COURSE of music. It put a merciful end to the 1980’s “hair bands” and “glam rock”’where guys looked like chicks. This ushered in “GRUNGE” with other GREAT bands like Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and other great bands. “GRUNGE” music came out of Seattle, not L.A. like all the “Glam Rock” bands. This song helped change the course of rock and roll.

Is it so hard to believe? If you look at old interviews you will find that a lot of rappers, Puff Daddy off the top of my head, liked “Nevermind” a lot. When Mr. Video made the point about the pre-chorus, or whatever you would like to call it, I could definitely hear it as a hook for a banger!

    What you just reacted to was arguably the band & song that ended "80's Metal" and kicked off "Grunge" in the early 90's. Practically overnight, everyone traded in their black leather and hairspray for flannel. I remember it well. Nirvana was historic. Oh... "Teen Spirit" was a popular perfume back then.

    • @MissyGail4eva
      @MissyGail4eva 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Smells like Teen Spirit, at I always believed (correctly so, too..though Kurt later deplored his mistaken misappropriation) was a facetiously funny nod to a certain girl's deodorant scent produced by Mennen that was as ubiquitous to the 90's as Bath & Body Works' Sun-Ripened Raspberry body spray, Elizabeth Arden's eau de toilette, 'Sunflowers', and Davidoff's 'Cool Waters'.

They also do Heart Shaped Box which is a good video and Come as You Are is a classic video.
