Smells like Teen Spirit - The Ukulele Orchestra

Great version ;-) of Smells like teen spirit (nirvana) by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

[@susanmarie2231]

I’ll say one thing. This is the first time I ever understood the lyrics to this song. Thank you.

[@michaelb5639]

This ain't a cover, this is the original.... Nobody has found out until now....

[@pianickname8514]

Michael B xD yesss

[@Frisbieinstein]

Russia caused this.

[@DoctorDistortion2011]

Whoosh....

[@TheLesungBatu]

@@marcelogomez4745 relex mate. He just joking....

[@sydalfox]

@@marcelogomez4745 You really didn't understand that he was joking ? Before you write something on internet, I suggest you think for one moment.

[@MissGeorgiex1]

I'm a massive fan of Nirvana, and this one is a classic, but I wasn't insulted by this, neither would Kurt be, it was hilarious, nice job guys!

[@maksphoto78]

Man, when you play an instrument and you play Nirvana, it's awesome!

[@jiimmyyy]

The comedy of this performance is undermined by the quality of it. The harmonies are too awesome for the satire to come through.

[@velyogendra108]

At least now I can understand the words.

[@twolegsnotail]

Vel Yogendra What a great comment, LOL, thanks, you made my day. Thanks so much!!!

[@senordd]

Vel Yogendra Except he gets the chorus wrong, it's "a mosquito, my libido"

[@EdwardMuscare]

senordd I think that's what he's saying; he's just pronouncing it the British way.

[@AnyManProjects]

edarem I think he was just being 'funny' ;)

[@user-wx9rq9td3w]

It's pronounced li-BEE-do" in the UK as well. Not li-BY-do.

[@alecluis93]

i love how they're sort of mocking it while also paying homage to it...pretty awesome, probably the greatest thing ive ever seen!

[@maksphoto78]

talented musicians all around, and yes, when you can play it you will have fun and pay homage.

[@christopherdavies7213]

It is both mocking it AND respecting it. It is absolutely extraordinary.

[@AnyaForgorThings]

the long hair guy headbangin'

[@kerricantelupe8337]

These guys came to my college once for a concert. It was such a good time.

[@haunopauno]

I went to the Sibelius Hall concert with positive, cheerful expectations. I came out completely amazed!. - And I had with me my mother and my auntie, both ladies in their seventies, both as overwhelmingly satisfied. Ukulele-Finlandia is something one does not hear very often. You certainly took this audience. Thank you, boys and girls!

[@deko4848]

I have seen them live. They're so much fun. It's a fantastically harmonic version of the song. Essentially the original has virtually no harmonic and just lots of energy. They're brill :-)

[@castellum40]

8 years later i still love it

[@scubapod]

Hands down one of the funniest things Ive seen in ages .... these are real legends

[@Uhmu]

Love this version. There aren't many good covers of this song. This eye-winking version rocks.

[@TheVampireAzriel]

This is the best cover of a Nirvana song I've ever heard.

[@TheReallyRealDJBlaze]

The Guy on the left end is amazing

[@TheAnsz456]

the guy on the left is so into it xD

[@gloriam.sweatman3152]

You guys are my favorites ! You are cool and you have class, character, and totally awesome!!!

[@rhiannonfuller-sandys8629]

the chorus killed me.

[@cvo_f]

lee-by-doe not libido

[@colin25250]

brilliant - irreverent, outrageous and fun. Could watch these guys for ever1!!!

[@pianickname8514]

I got to see them live... It was amazing

[@sunilvenugopalsunil0910]

I cant stop watching this! you guys are awesome.

[@Kirkcaldytiels]

I never tire of this ❤

[@saxy15]

Will always love them for this cover!

[@amy83079]

Step outside the box folks. This is a great tribute to KC and an honor. You should be so lucky to have one of your songs covered by a band outside your genre.

[@78musicdude78]

I very much enjoyed how he sang the chorus. Much respect to the vocals. And the entire preformace on the ukuleles was very nice altogether as well. :)

[@moviearticka]

With this video my life is a little closer to being complete. Truly a masterpiece!

[@sash6226]

I never imagined this song could sound so good on ukuleles :D amazing

[@parseliskriu]

Kurt would love this for sure, definitely one of best pieces melody wise, though still, very very strange to see it and listen to it.

[@live4music12321]

Thanks to him enunciating so clearly, I now actually understand the lyrics to this song. Plus it was a very creative arrangement of a great song. Very entertaining performance.

[@Keryth987]

So, THAT'S what Nirvana was singing.

[@themeanmachine84]

yep, the secret`s finally out.

[@drscaine]

Brilliant take on it! Love what these guys do....

[@RoboCorpse3000]

I love the fact that you can understand the lyrics. This is pretty much the first time I understand the song. OH NIRVANA, YOU SO CRAZY!

[@ObaREX]

this song is so addicting and... contagious.

[@martyklestadt6766]

Well, I'm here now, and they entertained us...

[@anonymousperson3433]

It’s pretty stupid though.

[@CrisRockFeliciano]

Cara, ficou muito bom mesmo. Muito talento e criatividade, fazer cover não é qualquer coisa, bom é quando um cover tem identidade. O cover não tem o intuito de superar o original e sim fazer uma releitura...

[@peterharding8204]

These guys and girls are great, fantastic sound.

[@37510060515]

MONSTROSSSSSSSSSSS. Que Maravilha de versao. Estao de Parabens...

[@guillaume1306]

Never thought I'd find myself head banging and laughing on Ukulele, well done guys !

[@heytheregeorgeygirl]

Great voice!

[@GreekDemon]

Who said that homeworks can't be fun? Never thought I'd see a cover of this song by a half-dozen ukulele band but here I am with a smile on my face. Kudos

[@karenmckenzie5931]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@PizzaBlade17]

Easily the greatest Smells Like Teen Spirit, they incorporated their own style to such an amazing song! I think Kurt would've love this!

[@SteveyBy]

The guy on the very left is probably drivin'&rockin' the most ^^

[@Paulthepsych]

He comperes at Glastonbury every year.

[@echtNoel]

Great! Love the sound of you all together

[@gbtalking]

love it on every possible level

[@spesishope]

Never have I been so confused as to what to feel for something. I think someone divided by zero and this came out.

[@xtremegamer4696]

*before I watch the video* Why do I feel like this is going to be epic!!! *after video*Yep I was soooo damn right this is EPICOSITY!

[@LazySummerTrio]

I love this! The ukulele is so fun, my favorite instrument.

[@cyndifoore7885]

You guys are great!!!

[@TimothyBussMusic]

These folks are amazing, check out the other things they have done...

[@gojucu]

its just a comedy why everbody thinks thats a serious cover :( and i think its pretty good :)

[@jv-ep2tc]

+Furkan “GOJUCU” Çetinkaya It IS good. Oddly, even though they are at the other end of the musical spectrum, I feel like they "get" the song.

[@ergbudster3333]

Um. Because we love the song and expect some bit of respect even though it's clearly a satire?

[@gojucu]

Erg Budster then nobody should do comedy, comedians joke about everything (death,war, god, diseases), thats what they do and everybody keep laughing at them do you ever watch conan o'brian ? ibet you dont like conan either ? i love the song and kurt he was great guy i bet he would like this version too .

[@FeathersMcGraw_]

+Erg Budster This is respect. Have you ever noticed that they don't cover bad songs?

[@jimbosmith912]

Grow up LOL

[@Psyroh]

His singing an his voice is the reason i like this song.

[@adambouraoui445]

THIS IS AWESOME.

[@serenaely3940]

Omg this was on my Ukelele website I used when I was in grade 4!

[@babyshambles93]

Its 3:37am my girlfriend just woke up next to me "why you still up?...what you listening to?" my response: "I really don't know..."

[@83Anaconda]

Oh my God, this is so impressive! I hope after (?) the pandemic you come to Germany, please! I'd be there first row.

[@gazzah54]

these guys are amazing

[@luxe.8419]

This is so hilarious

[@peachrei]

Only in Great Britain....

[@tombratcher6938]

Weird Al would disagree. Mostly in GB though.

[@donaldswink6259]

You guys are amazing.

[@123SIMEONJACKSON]

They are amazing!!!

[@aluxifer1534]

[@johnnybravo380]

For everyone who is too ignorant to understand this is a comedy -_-

[@solosixkiller8526]

and still awesome music wise :)

[@deanfarley132]

This is the one and only video that inspired me to buy and learn to play the ukulele!

[@maltavmalta]

Saw this live recently - fantastic!!!

[@noveli77]

What a hilarious massacre!

[@yakomarusquealer5195]

best... cover... ever...

[@corona02]

Stfu 😂

[@starfish1271]

love their sense of humor, I couldn't stop laughing! very good musicians indeed

[@dianasclafani8946]

Awesome, great effort!

[@farner8452]

So goofy, it's lovely :)

[@rubini46]

oh. how i love being a Brit, inovation, irreverence, always pushing the boundaries, a slave to no one, cheeky, humerous, never a slave, always embracing great ideas, never satisfied, always looking for something new and exciting, loving our history but not trapped in it, loving God but knowing we made him in our image so that we could excell the angels of our imagination., music can set youi free !!

[@guilhacerda]

Funny and genious interpretation. Congratulations.

[@babsinjrzy]

I really enjoyed it! Excellent!

[@canvas-of-sound]

Kurt Cobain would not care because he absolutely hated smells like teen spirit and messed it up on purpose...

[@babyshambles93]

Gerald Paul Gibson He didn't hate it, he just got fed up with it.

[@juliehughes6145]

Awesome and flippin' clever LoL

[@wulfrig321]

This is the best thing on the Internet

[@mikeytheblack]

Hilariously awesome.. Keep it up you amazing troupe.

[@calima5762]

It's ment to be a joke the audience wouldn't be laughing if it was a real cover its ment to be bad the uke is good tho

[@somanymagpies]

This is awesome...too bad for the commentators who don't get it.

[@theheraldsoTND]

Loved it. I've degrade myself from guitar to Uke's n I'm savouring it watching you BTW. For myself I'm taking baby steps. 😅

[@levmatta]

I began listening to this music without watching the video, and it rocks. The singer is very good, and the ukelele has the right sound.

[@vladambrose1399]

How funny the guys are Like from a parralel universe :D

[@colin25250]

Also, forgot to say that I could never understand what Kurt was singing - hear Weird Al Yankovitz's parody to see what I mean - whereas here I can understand and hear every word - even if his singing upsets some.

[@percy297]

Juste excellent !!

[@jackscht]

Can't wait to see them again.

[@AnyManProjects]

Joe Swanson can play the ukulele?

[@MultiSnakeman]

Hahahahahaha

[@FaizalYacob]

i wish i could give more Like.

[@eclipse76]

This is awesome.

[@MARCOPOLOVM]

Sou fã dessa banda inglesa, muito criativa! Aqui do Brasil!

[@hirogerthisisme]

middle age fun?

[@546268]

reading the comments below irony, some people just don't get it must be a British thing!!

[@elianasousa4018]

Estou amando vocês. I love you

[@richgarc84]

That was awesome!

[@italoabril8764]

Me encanto

[@brianabril8582]

guau alfin te animaste

[@juliebethstiles7779]

awesome awesome awesome! but what is this libido mis-pronunciation thing? that's how they pronounce it over there? that said, i LOVE that he gets the first lines in each verse just a wee bit flat JUST like cobain did - always bugged me that cobain slurred those notes, but now that its so iconic, i think i love it in this cover. the facial expressions were amazing - he just needed to be in a smoking jacket with a scotch on the rocks in one hand to go all out.

[@joeyabels100]

It sounds better when it is slightly out of key.

[@TalithaCostaVideos]

Very, Very Good. Thanks too much, from Brasil.

[@markeaston5026]

OMG, wonderful.

[@AutumnAsh81]

im not opossed to diff versions of Nirvana songs like a lot of Nirvana fans are (harder core fans like myself tent to be very picky with nirvana covers, however, i am not. i enjoy all kinds of music) but i just felt strange watching this. and it was a little creepy. or something. like while hes singing a rapest is creeping up behind me, this would be the song playing as a soundtrack while that happened. ill pass on ever watching this again.

[@DavidAMarin]

It's meant to be amusing. The atmosphere that is scaring you is exactly what makes is all that great.

[@fibradk]

Oooooh sensitive :)

[@christopherdavies7213]

Superb version

[@tistimetogo]

Really like this. Tis a voice with character.
