2: I beg to differ

Agreed. The amazing thing about Weird Al parodies is that even purely musically they're better than the originals they copy.

Still, I like the toy instruments version, and for another toy instrument song (with the original version's vocalist!), I've always enjoyed this.

I have happy memories of Al's version being played at clubs in the 90s and watching the grunge fans who leapt onto the dancefloor grinding to a halt as they realised. We kept dancing!

I might like that one better if I had any idea what the original sounded like....

I was the guy that took my copy of the single to our local dodgy rock club, the DJ had missed the chance to buy it

There is one other Teen Spirit cover that I like, but it involves Kathleen rambling a bit, worth it tho

Thanks for that, I hadn't heard that story before.

4. The decision-makers will have blood on their hands.

[andrewducker]

They absolutely will.

Clean hands!

[lsanderson]

But their hands will be clean! They don't have to touch the rope, the gun, or the pills.

[dewline]

That may well be their goal.
