Cover: Paul Anka, "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Undergoing the opposite process to my below post is Paul Anka doing Nirvana. One one level you could argue that re-enacting a popular song of underground culture and rebellion (which of course became the icon of that culture's mass reproduction) as a Jazz standard completely drains out its meaning, but on the other hand... I think Kurt Cobain (who had a sense of humour about himself, sometimes) would've found it hilarious, especially given his well-known resentment of that song's popularity. I like the idea of the song's popularity leading to it being canonized by the guy that wrote "My Way." And to be honest, the song doesn't sound bad at all with the trumpets and bongos and stuff. "Here we are now, entertain us" is a pretty adaptable phrase, as it turns out.
