That...HARMONY at the END!!! The first time I heard it, it brought me to tears, and that was like 3 years ago. And it still gives me the chills every single time. Gosh, these talented people......
Hahah! I like the originals of those songs and they made a hilarious, yet very catchy arrangement. Great job UC octet! I applaud you for talent and hilarity!
This is sheer genius. The recordings of this performance show how talented this group was. I know the octet continues on, but this particular combination was fantastic.
I sat laughing through all this! Oh man, I can just imagine, Kurt looking down and saying "well, it's not how I did it but I'm glad you're having fun with it!" Awesome work.
Nirvana Medley & Bo Rhap are the videos I use to introduce people to the Octet or my "little sickness" as my friend Erin calls it. Thanks, guys, for completely gobsmacking my bestest friends.
Possibly my favourite moment: the switch in the lead's facial expressions at 0:45 as the music suddenly picks up. Never fails to make me laugh, and I love this whole rendition!
Oh my god, this just made my life, lmao. I'm sure Kurt would've loved it, if only he could see it. If there's a heaven, he was probably looking down and cracking up.
I'm sure if Kurt had seen this, he'd be laughing...he had a good sense of humor with this kind of stuff. Anyways...this is excellent. Very funny, and lots of talent. :-)
This is so fantastic. I love Jason's expressions. His voice actually reminds me of the lead singer of 'Reel Big Fish.' Any ideas what these guys are up to now?
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was actually the perfect mix of technical ability (love how it sounds with 8-part harmony) and humor. I seriously wish I could hear better recordings of this octet, rather than a camcorder in the crowd.
@RichyUK86 he did this arrangement, and several others in this concert. Rick Wood (who sang Not Pretty Enough) did the original arrangement for I Like Big Butts.
That...HARMONY at the END!!!
The first time I heard it, it brought me to tears, and that was like 3 years ago. And it still gives me the chills every single time. Gosh, these talented people......
It's been 14 years and this is still amazing! I've been coming back to all of your videos at least once a year and I loved it every single time!
Also, I wonder what the lot of you is up to these days. are you guys still making music?
Every once in a while I watch this and remember why I love these guys so much. :)
the arrangement choices are so clever !
This is brilliant. I'll never think of All Apologies and Lithium the same way again.
Just an amazingly arranged medley, and the singing was SPECTAACCUULLARRG.
The group of spring 2003 really set the bar for the octet.
Hahah! I like the originals of those songs and they made a hilarious, yet very catchy arrangement. Great job UC octet! I applaud you for talent and hilarity!
This is sheer genius. The recordings of this performance show how talented this group was. I know the octet continues on, but this particular combination was fantastic.
:)
I love nirvana, and choir.
this made my day.
way to go guys.
That was awesome!! Great Tribute I was laughing the whole time!!!! Job well done!!
The best Nirvana medley/cover ever! Changing grunge into such diverse genres, with a lot of humour and skill, is simply extraordinary.
On the contrary, Kurt Cobain loved parodies, and would have dug this.
Damn im searching this video until 7 years.. i forget and always forget
This is so disgustingly awsome
I sat laughing through all this! Oh man, I can just imagine, Kurt looking down and saying "well, it's not how I did it but I'm glad you're having fun with it!"
Awesome work.
Nirvana Medley & Bo Rhap are the videos I use to introduce people to the Octet or my "little sickness" as my friend Erin calls it. Thanks, guys, for completely gobsmacking my bestest friends.
you took everything i love and made it into a joke. a lovable joke. THAT WAS AWESOME
Possibly my favourite moment: the switch in the lead's facial expressions at 0:45 as the music suddenly picks up. Never fails to make me laugh, and I love this whole rendition!
Speechless. Totally speechless.
I WANT A STUDIO VERSION LIKE ASAP!!

I swear, I am still listening to this!
ahhhhhhh!!!!! i FRIGGIN LOVE IT! i am actually theeee biggest nirvana song but i also loooove acapella harmonies and this is amazing. blows my mind
very clever! Nice work...i highly enjoyed this.
I love the description. Most definitely they way grunge was NEVER supposed to be. I like it though :)
They seem so cheesy, it's awesome.
I loved it...
This is probably the greatest Nirvana vid off the face of TH-cam.Kurt Cobain would be so so so proud
Oh my god, this just made my life, lmao. I'm sure Kurt would've loved it, if only he could see it.
If there's a heaven, he was probably looking down and cracking up.
this is priceless. great,fantastic unbelieveable,awesome.
You guys are awesome I like it very original
I have big pleasure and enjoyement each time I watch this video since 5 years.
this was great. i was smiling the entire time.
This NEVER gets old!!
Outstanding!!! Wonderful!!
Why on earth doesn't this have more views???
This always makes me smile.
Part of me wants to run away screaming, but part of me wants to stay and watch because this is so amazing. It's like a freakin' train wreck.
only a great Octet group like these guys could take an already brilliant Nirvana song and change it into something really unique. Good Job guys!
I enjoyed this very much!!
Best cover ever
this song is kick ass and so are the guys when they sing it acapella this is frickin awesome.
I love Nirvana, this is hysterical!
:) That's me. I haven't had the bleach for like four years, but I used to get that semi-often!
This is awesome! Hilarious and such harmony! :D
i guess they were laughing so much because they never thought grunge could be arranged that way haha
@MasterofEtherium The harmonica thing is called a pitch pipe. A cappella groups use them to provide a pitch reference.
i wish i could hear what they are singing over this laughter
open your ears? i can hear fine.
I'm sure if Kurt had seen this, he'd be laughing...he had a good sense of humor with this kind of stuff.
Anyways...this is excellent. Very funny, and lots of talent. :-)
The guy with the dark haired fro arranged it... he's the soloist in the song "Beauty's Only Skin Deep" also here on youtube.
AMAZING!!!
This is amazing!
This is so fantastic. I love Jason's expressions. His voice actually reminds me of the lead singer of 'Reel Big Fish.' Any ideas what these guys are up to now?
Genius!!! love it. ;)
Made of awesome!
siete dei geni
this made my day
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was actually the perfect mix of technical ability (love how it sounds with 8-part harmony) and humor. I seriously wish I could hear better recordings of this octet, rather than a camcorder in the crowd.
Wow I love this x
AWESOME GUYS. VERY COOL.
Dude!!!... cool !!!...really cool!!!
I never expected to hear Sir Mixalots "Baby Got Back " a cappella...you'd be surprized what these guys can do.

Brilliant!
I had to listen to some actual Nirvana to catch the comparison. Love what the guys did.
@RichyUK86 he did this arrangement, and several others in this concert. Rick Wood (who sang Not Pretty Enough) did the original arrangement for I Like Big Butts.
That was spectacular
2003 was the octet's best yet ever
Where is Andy Bernard?
This is amazing and hilarious at the same time.
that's what MAKES it fantastic!
All Apologies, Lithium, Smells Like Teen Spirit...
This was spectacular.
Awesome!
If I could add things to my favorites again, this would take the cake.
awesome!!!
this is great :DDDD!!!
They would've sung "Rape Me", but MTV wouldn't let them.
The "yeaaaahhh" in lithium had me lolling!!! sounds like the beach boys
thank you
I have a terribly huge crush on all these men xD And I laughed so hard when they sang the "In the sun" section, lol!
great!!!!
this makes me so very sad.
this also makes me so very happy.
wow! just wow!
well done!
brilliant
awesome
he's got great face expressions, very artistic :)
!! YES!! the BEST acapella to rock medly I have heard.. EVER.. who did the arrangement??? Please TELL ME!!!
OMG!!!! this is soooo funny, i love the original, and this is totally hilarious!

Ben and Jordan harmonizing @ 2:54 is a beautiful thing.
