Teenage Fanclub - About A Girl (Nirvana)

[@beakerland]

makes sense that they would choose this song as tfg and kurt both loved 60s power pop and even kurt said about a girl sounded like a 60s beatles song. Its cool to see that song be played as if it was straight out of 1967

[@Tomnedreb]

Cool to see one of the bands Kurt liked and toured with do a cover of one of his songs :)

[@superfurrygaz1]

They sprinkled Fairy dust over that song... awesome.

[@valeskahanel1023]

wonderfully said.

“We did the European leg of Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ tour in 1992, which was pandemonium and phenomenons like that don’t happen.We’d know Nirvana from their Bleach period and they remained the same. They were still down-to-earth; maybe overwhelmed by what was happening.I’ve great memories of us hanging out in a playpark eating ice cream in Stockholm after a soundcheck. Even though Kurt [Cobain] had some issues, he was generally happy and in a good space then.” Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub)

Best cover of a Nirvana song I've ever heard

[@stevenpaulwerth]

They get the assignment well

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

Magic....the slide guitar is a genius idea

[@matthewcummings7705]

100% - icing on the cake. This is one of the best covers ever.

[@KitariItsSomethingRottenHere]

*These dudes actually shared an European Tour with Nirvana, they hanged out with Kurt and Company back in the early 90's and Kurt called them "The Best Band in The Word" haha*

[@kylehegedus5498]

Better than Puddle Of Mudd’s embarrassing recent cover!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@aarondoodles3380]

Ten times...better! 🥁🤭

[@PatoMeza1980]

Amazing cover! TFC are one of my favourite bands and this song is a classic

[@YessiEoy7]

Fantastic cover. My two favorites! Hugs from Argentina

[@gustv999]

Buenaa! Aguante teenage fanclub

[@arieljoaquinalderete1499]

Bien ahi..

[@SuperExponential]

Teenage Fanclub = Tremendously Fabulous Covers?

[@DTR1847]

Turned it into a psychedelic Beach Boys song.

[@aarondoodles3380]

I can't believe I'm only hearing this epic cover today 🙂

[@xmillion1704]

Very cool! Did not see this song as so easily lending itself to a psychedelic treatment before. Way to go TFC!

[@beemelonhead1]

This is brilliant.. still laugh about Puddle of Mudd attempting this. This 100% original and how covers should be. I think I might like more than the original.

[@kurtispopp]

How did I not know this existed until 2019??

[@shelbythomas]

same here, Kurtis

[@eddiewillers1]

@@shelbythomas I recall listening to TFC on KXLU-Loyola Marymount College Radio back in the early 90s when I lived in LA. At the time, I didn't think much of them. Now, almost 30 years later and thanks to You Tube...

[@KitariItsSomethingRottenHere]

*Indeed, this band is OG, one of those hidden pearls from the 90's little people knows about, it's a shame really and they even played with Nirvana.*

[@indamaking]

This should have atleast 1 million views

[@smyst1538]

Super! Nice cover. Kurt must be happy.

[@Flashdrums1]

How the hell am I only just discovering this cover? Been a Fannies and Nirvana fan for decade's and saw them both live back in the day.

[@barbaracres]

Syd Barrett-esque

[@gedcoffey3327]

Wtf is that slide guitar upto. I love it.best cover ive heard in a while

[@TheHappys]

This is a really unique cover. I love it.

[@aroom101]

bless 'em (Kurt's probably thinking the same thing)

[@blakemcnamara9105]

Who came here after Puddle of Mudd to remind yourself of what a good cover sounds like?

[@kylehegedus5498]

Blake McNamara Me!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Whatruacop97]

(PTSD intensifies) OH GOD GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD

[@mulio7167]

Can anyone help - was this ever released on a compilation or single?? I can't seem to find it anywhere except here!

[@swirlingfudge]

They toured together, I seem to recall? Before Nirvana went global. Not sure who headlined, I doubt either band cared who did :-) those were the days

[@CarlosSantos-cx4fe]

whem i was 19 yearsold, i knew about nirvana, but no abot tgc. Im now 47 years. I still like nirvava, but I reallly love TFC.

[@MrMookRecords]

Andy, they toured together when Nevermind became major label hype mania. Saw Nirvana in '92 in a huuuge venue with Teenage Fanclub & Breeders supporting

[@kudraet]

@@MrMookRecords Think about that lineup! Three great bands.

[@shelbythomas]

@@kudraet Dream show, in retrospect.

[@JohnSmith-cw5hs]

@@MrMookRecords wow

[@christyjia8449]

When was this recorded? This is incredible.

[@KitariItsSomethingRottenHere]

*It could have been in the early 90's maybe, they shared a time with Nirvana back then.*

[@triplesevensix291]

Nice one Noodles. This is new to me man. Take a bow. ;)

[@swirlingfudge]

Noodlewrist - you post some really great stuff. Keep wristing up helpings of delicious noodles

[@douglaswright2143]

I'm almost thinking 13th floor elevators!

[@ann-mariemartin5713]

Ha I was watching true detective. Had one of their songs on.. ended up here

[@douglaswright2143]

Agreed

[@emilthomasg]

Really good cover!

[@germanodias2862]

KURT APPROVES...

[@inigomontoya603]

how dare these villains rip off the ingenious Kurt Cobain and go back in time and sing it first!

[@reversefulfillment9189]

Gently drop a tune in a 5 gallon wood smoked oak whiskey barrel of maple syrup and stir slowly.

[@DrunkTranquility]

So much better than the original

[@davidsanchezcaballero9630]

Year?? IT's GREAT!!

[@andreabernardi5853]

Like a britpop (Jangle rock) cover

[@CS-sf1rz]

Luv it!

[@douglaswright2143]

Indeed fairy dust!

Better than the original, and I loved it.

[@Nuffsed81]

Sorry to be the negative one but this cover has drained the life out of such a great song.

[@robertcreighton4635]

Puddle of mudd did it better
