Friday Jukebox 4.25.14

It has been 20 years since Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was found dead of a suspected heroin overdose in his apartment. Nirvana was among a plethora of bands that was the forefront of the 'grunge' scene in Seattle back in the early '90s. Nevermind, from 1993, was a breakthrough album at the time, featuring "Smells Like Teen Spirit" ('Weird Al' Yankovic did a parody entitled "Smells Like Nirvana") and this one, "Come As You Are."

Also, Weird Al's Off the Deep End(?) cover was based upon the Nevermind album cover, but in a different way.
