Courtney Love reveals Kurt Cobain's early lyrics for “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” During the latest episode of 60 Songs That Explain the 90s, she sang two versions of the lyrics. She sang the first verse, “Come out and play/ Make up the rules/ I know I hope to buy the truth/ Who will be the king and queen of all the outcasted teens?” And then she sang a chorus: “We’re so lazy and so stupid/ Blame our parents and the cupids/ A deposit for a bottle/ Stick it inside, no role model.”
Courtney said she wishes Cobain would have kept the “king and queen of all the outcasted teens” line because it “would’ve helped my life a little bit better, taking on the sh*t that me and my daughter have.”
