Weird Al Explains Kurt Cobain's Reaction To Nirvana Parody (A Top Story)
. In an video interview with Loudwire, Yankovic says he was nervous about asking the Nirvana frontman for permission, but that Cobain was "cool" with the idea. He says: "I remember that phone conversation very well - I wish I had recorded it, it would have been a nice little piece of history. I was very nervous, and I didn't know how he would take my requesting the parody. But he was extremely cool. I just told him, 'hey, it's Weird Al Yankovic and I would love to do a parody of Smells Like Teen Spirit.' "His initial reaction was, 'oh, is it going to be a song about food?', because a lot of my hits at that time were. I explained it's about how nobody could understand his lyrics. There was probably half a beat on the phone and he said, 'yeah, yeah - sounds like a funny idea.'" - more on this story Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
