00:00So there you go.
00:01And with that I'm gonna head straight back into more music with a classic track by Nirvana.
00:05This is Smells Like Teen Spirit.
00:13Now did you know that the title of this track was basically inspired by a female teen deodorant?
00:19Yeah, that's right.
00:20So the story goes that one of Kurt Cobain's friends, his girlfriend at the time, was basically
00:25walking through a department store with her girlfriends when she spotted deodorant that
00:30was basically called Teen Spirit.
00:33And the girls joked about what that would smell like.
00:35Now they went back to Kurt Cobain's apartment, they stayed up, had a discussion.
00:39And when Kurt Cobain fell asleep, one of the girls took a sharpie and wrote, Kurt smells
00:44like Teen Spirit on his wall.
00:47Now when Kurt woke up and saw this, he thought the girls were basically complimenting his rebellious
00:53spirit.
00:54He had no idea that that was the name of a teen deodorant, a female deodorant nonetheless.
01:00Anywho, that phrase stuck in his noggins.
01:04So later on when he was writing the song, he brought it back up and decided that that was
01:08gonna be the title of the track.
01:10Now get this, after the song was released, the actual deodorant teen spirit saw a massive
01:16spike in sales.
01:18Even though the name of the deodorant was not part of the lyrics at all, it was just in
01:22the title of the track.
01:23So if you didn't know that before, well now you know.
