From its explosive introduction to its Generation X-aping refrain of “Here we are now/Entertain us”, the stage is set for Seattle grunge trio Nirvana to have a huge hit this Christmas.
Despite some hardcore fans of the band accusing Nirvana of selling out by releasing such a commercial tune, bookies now pitch ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ as second-favourite for Christmas number one. The song deals with what singer Kurt Cobain has put on his Christmas list, namely “A mulatto/An albino/A mosquito/My libido/Yeah”.
Put on your Santa hats, lift your lighter and shake your bells – this is what Christmas is supposed to sound like.
