Things which are awesome (twenty) - you wouldn't stop me if you'd heard this before
You know what song is made of awesome? Laura Barrett's cover of Weird Al Yankovic's parody of Nirvana's most famous song. Wooo.
Yes, that is correct. A heartfelt, single instrument rendition of Smells like Nirvana. Do not misunderstand; it's a lovely, haunting tune... and you combine it with the lyrics and suddenly everything is Made Of Hilarious.
Now I'm mumbling and I'm screaming, Barrett enunciates clearly for our benefit, and I don't know what I'm singing. Crank the volume, ears are bleeding, she adds gently, illustrating for us the magnitude of her desperation.
I still don't know what I'm singing, she tells us, and it is a plaintive cry.
But though our souls bleed for her, there is no help we can offer. We did not read the lyric sheets either.
