if Nirvana wrote "KIDS" by MGMT

[@BradTheProducer]

I don't even know the lyrics to Kids, and in true Nirvana fashion, I still don't.

[@a.d.3788]

That was my exact first thought too. The lyrics are presented obscure enough to be real Nirvana lyrics.

[@sabinal17]

😂😂😂

[@TheRealLoneStranger]

The lyric sheet's so hard to find. Oh well. Whatever. Never mind.

[@user-lg9hc1nl9u]

I just looked them up. They still don't make any sense even when you do know what they're saying.

[@andersjjensen]

@@TheRealLoneStranger GET OUT! :P

[@bn-auric79]

Feels like a lost single

[@matt_the_trucker]

Thinking the same

[@I-0-0-I]

That's just because he is so damn good. Could be "the dictionary read by x rock band," and I would probably love it.

[@Unbeliveabruh]

Nah. It sounds like Failure, but that is a good thing.

[@rtyuik7]

0:30 - throwing in a reference to the "Top of the Pops" performance, where Nirvana had to play to a backing track, so they made it Obvious that they were playing to a backing track

[@andrewpappas9311]

That performance is absolutely hilarious, they just give zero shits and I love it

[@magroves]

Look up the box tops singing the letter...their miming in a similar situation was awesome back even the 60's

[@Enword_Jim]

Faith no More did the same thing, too.

[@trainhairs1403]

there's no way you could make anything cursed when you properly pay respect to the true essence of both bands and blend them perfectly. every. single. time. this ruled.

[@Wulfentine]

110%

[@pickleshanks]

The bad lip synching is my favorite reference

[@DeluxeFlame]

that's a reference!? hah I was wonderin

[@EvilGoatBoy]

​@@DeluxeFlameon one of the 'live' shows Nirvana did, they were forced to lip sync, so the band made it REALLY obvious to throw shade at the network.

[@VistasSrinagarun]

@@DeluxeFlame kzbin.info/www/bejne/moHXe6eYh72caas it was at top of the tops back in the day

[@Dog1818YT]

@@EvilGoatBoy they didn''t have to lip sync but they did have to sing live to the instrumental of the actual song.

[@analogmike1534]

The first time I thought it might be a mistake. The third time, I knew it was for those who know.

[@dpittman9484]

The guitar solo incorporating the initial “Kids” synth melody is genius.

[@damientalrose553]

What really made that solo was how it wasn't right. Very how Cobain would play it.

[@billhicks9056]

Mac Glocky is my new favourite genre!

[@jedimasterho9382]

I feel this moment in my soul 😂

[@GingerBred_Steve]

"Im sorry Ms Jackson" by Alien Ant Farm??? also solid mash up... its a vibe

[@Azihayya]

Damn, that's good.

[@lastnamefirst650]

Dude how did you think of that. YES

[@rongiefaustino8867]

My man! Straight from the year 2000...

[@xenogorwraithblade2538]

I am four eels!

[@ADDISON2507]

Fuck yeah

[@a.d.3788]

[Every single time] Mac: “These don’t really go together. Im not sure why this was requested. I’m not sure this will work.” [Proceeds to write an absolute fucking banger.] 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@autophreaktrishield]

The more cursed the better it seems

[@CJ_Carpenter]

Your ability to NAIL these every time is very impressive. Rock on, brother.

[@kingcarl34]

the only thing that's cursed is your ability to make masterpiece covers; its unnatural how good they are, awesome as usual.

[@believeinmatter]

At first it’s hard to visualize the combination of bands, but then I see the final product and I’m always like “yes exactly like that.” You have an insane talent dude 💪

[@r.b.ratieta6111]

If this had come out in the early 90s, it easily would have played on the top charts for at least a year.

[@jordandavis84]

If Deftones wrote Outshined by Soundgarden

[@CarpeGuitarrem]

The way you reworked the signature riff from KIDS into that solo near the end was genius.

[@danielmvids]

Honestly wasn’t so sure how this would work. But this totally feels like In Utero. Very Frances Farmer feeling

[@malloycade8626]

It's a nevermindl x in utero mash for sure

[@Eyeupthebison]

Yet that riff is super in utero but the vocals are super nevermind

[@darraghodonovan]

Feels more Lithium to me, either way 👍

[@malloycade8626]

@Eyeupthebison and guitar sound is nevermind

[@Eyeupthebison]

@malloycade8626 I just realized the chrs is just drain you with an in utero extra chord breakdown

[@coolcat33333]

If Deftones wrote Don't Speak by No Doubt.

[@Hekromancer]

Omg please do this one!!!

[@xaxinoreis]

"This is probably going to be cursed." You always say this and it never is, Mac. You're too talented to not make things like this somehow work. You're too harsh on yourself. As always, this was amazing.

[@lienmeat]

I don't know how you do it. You're too good at this. That turned out to be more Nirvana than I thought possible. I'm always left in awe.

[@XeL_666]

We need more AIC! God you do such an amazing AIC impression!

[@SniperYETTI]

My favorite band. Definitely need more AIC.

[@Eidenhoek]

Shouldn't it be AiC?

[@smokejc]

​@@Eidenhoek no

[@SniperYETTI]

@@Eidenhoek Yeah, but.......bro someone's bored.

[@KozakuraRabbit]

I knew this was gonna work well as soon as I saw the title, and it definitely did!

[@lynararosewater923]

This song is Far from cursed. Many years ago, doctors had me completely fried out on heavy mood stabilizers for "behavioral disorders". I used to listen too Smashing Pumpkins a lot cause it was one of the very few things that could both sooth and stimulate my zombified brain. I know this is Nirvana's sound, not the Pumpkin's, but it has that same energy to it that got me through that miserable time. Somewhere out there, someone Needs this song to help get them to tomorrow and I hope they find it. You've done good. You've done really good.

[@LyraliaBunny]

Yeah, this kinda ruled. This is opposite of cursed.

[@Kearafaithmajestic]

Love the breakdown and the ending, this was everything I wanted and more 😭🫠

[@RhinestonePickupTruck]

This goes so so hard. Love the Drain You chords thrown in. Chorus is so huge!

[@nickbz1303]

You really have a great talent for making these covers sound so right. There's a certain spirit and reverence to the writer and the style inspiration that you have that impart a wonderful genuineness to your work. I watch a few other cover folk and they induce that swelling up of joy and nostalgia that your work elicits.

[@slackerlitgeek]

Honestly, you call it cursed, but I love it. What a great melding of the two.

[@mrinnan]

You really know how to capture the essence of an artist. Amazing work as always!

[@emiofnnc]

Unironically the chorus of this song, rly is Nirvana esque when you give it the proper instrumental. You did an amazing job.

[@connerhoward8502]

The Dave Grohl-esque harmonies are a really nice touch. Well done!

[@Tunda2]

What if System of a Down wrote “Picture” by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow?

[@movmakerNeo]

as per usuall....the absolute opposite of cursed, this is awesome!!!

[@artboy_shelly]

My favorite part!! 1:09

[@jonathanregehr3078]

Amazing job with the vocals! This is so well done and super articulate. Love it

[@NixonCutz]

This is mind blowingly good!!! Someone already said it but I agree, feels like a B-side that could blow up as a major radio single!

[@andersjjensen]

Never heard Kids by MGMT, but this would 100% have fit in on a Nirvana album. Not cursed at all.
