This isn't just a great cover of Nirvana or Lithium.. it's one of the greatest covers of anything ever. This is a celebration of the song. Amazing stuff.
Hello. I'm a time traveler from seven years in the future. You are right, but also, I hope everything is going well for you seven years from now. Cheers!
I can't stop watching this video, just their childlike joy as they're playing and singing, just completely going for it with every fibre of their beings, it's just so incredible to watch, so so much enjoyment on that stage, I live for things like this.
The Big Short is such a totally awesome movie. I fully understood the whole thing, every word, every little nuance in it. Oh yes. Great, great film indeed.
I found the movie a little hard to follow at times because I'm just not knowledgeable enough of the housing crisis, but really loved the movie. Steven Carrell did a great job.
Gospel is doing too much good for them. No, I am not defending "pure soul church" here at all - they aren't a gospel, because there is too much singing on the same notes. It isn't actually really that much of a choir either. The only luring lie is that they are wearing what a gospel choir would wear. So... Sorry to break it to you - but you weren't listening with your ears. You were watching with your ears - appearantly. :D You and all the likers - me among them. ;D It's still sooo cool - even if it fails to be gospel musically, it still gives out the message of the song really well - having symbols which cause Great conflict to all us humans. :)
Wow! I can't believe how great this song is and the vitality and energy of this group, its members and their diversity. I saw a few moments of this video on "The Big Short" and I had to look up the credits...love this.
This band does a wonderful job covering this particular song by the late Kurt Cobain. Also, *The Big Short* is an amazing, important and informative film for all to see.
WOW! What an experience it must've been to be there, I can only imagine what those people felt in that moment. The energy is unified and freeing! Something we can all use more of nowadays
I'm a massive fan of both Nirvana and The Spree, but this song is such an amazing cover. It takes all the fear out of the original and actually makes it sound joyous as opposed to paranoid. cheers for uploading it! -m
This is not only the best Nirvana cover that I've ever heard, it's probably the best cover I've ever heard, period. That includes the covers of classic rock songs that Type O Negative has done. This is just amazing. I need to catch these guys the next time they're in Dallas.
Disney version? The song is about mental illness and religion, and this cover is clearly making a parody of the pop rock in church "everything will be alright" type of deal.
You may want to wake up and watch that movie...The Big Short. The bankers really have totally destroyed your future and have enslaved you. This show ain't over yet. The sequel will make you destitute....not impoverished...but destitute.
That's reminds me of the old days in the band room when schools still had that class. What an eclectic group of musicians and singers. I'd love to see them sometime
I've loved this group for many years & I thoroughly enjoyed Tripping Daisy as well...but for some reason,this particular single slipped past me all these years & I never heard it until now.after watching The Big Short & catching a glimpse of this video in the film,,it brought me here.the glory of RUclips.Rock on,people
One of the best Nirvana covers that I have been able to find, most don't capture the epicness of Nirvana. I guess it takes several to achieve it, great job everyone!
I loved Nirvava as a teen…. And still love them at 38…… Wowee! I like this even better than Nirvana, it’s the tooting horns and soaring voices❤ PS- I love how he “broke our mirrors” like he was tapping a fairy wand 😂
on feeling alone, they knocked this out of the park... watch the live versions, and the absolute joy of the band and the audience during this song, it's completely undeniable.
god this group's stage presence and enthusiasm is unmatched, i adore it 💕 loved the spree since middle school, their albums have gotten me through some rough times
i believe the reason why they'd chosen this song was that when Charlie would tell anyone he knew of their doomsday predictions, they would tell them they'd gone crazy and his mom would just suggest he take lithium.
They seem like a band that is meant to inspire groups and ppl with addiction and in recovery. Uplifting and just kinda makes you happy to listen to lol
Huge fan of Tripping Daisy back in the days, knew about Polyphonic Spree but didn't realize they made a Nirvana cover aaaaand the big short brought me here!
this is literally what makes the difference in the song tbh idk what it is about the arpeggiating piano but it brings out the other sounds of the song for sure
This is the craziest Nirvana cover I've ever seen or heard. And the best. Period. And you can't tell me that it's anyone else than Dave himself playing that harp. Lol.
I agree. It's like the other end of the spectrum as far as the vibe of the song. Nirvana makes you feel despair and this makes you feel...something more vibrant idk a word to explain it
@@dbxniker7484 lol kurt cobain said he loved " the shaggs" as a joke because the music was so bad. Cobain was trolling the interviewer. it obviously went way over this guys head. Lmao.
I am so overwhelmed, near the end I actually couldn't hold in my laughter. And it's not cause they look funny or I am making fun of them I just felt so strange but so great at the same time I had no other way to express myself other than laughing like a maniac.
I ve seen a short part of that cover in the Big Short and was amazed! I really got goosebumps!!)) it's just wooooow! Truly best cover! Love the way back vocal girls dancing, so cool!)) Wana dance like them too everytime I hear Lithium 😂 😂 😂
@@jesserondinelli5160 you are clearly not a sound engineer? This is a work of art and behind the scenes deserves a lot of credit. You don't notice how the levels for the different instruments change throughout so that the vocals still come out clearly?
I love this cover -- and I do mean *love* -- and I love Polyphonic Spree, but I always feel like I'm being brainwashed when I listen to them. I think it's the robes.

This is hands down the best interpretation, or as they say a "cover" of a Nirvana song. It's done so right in every way.
thank you for putting "cover" in quotes.

The best cover of a Nirvana song is "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle" by Jay Reatard.

+Jake Pendleton Me too
Same - I actually never knew what the lyric was until I heard this version.
So true I said the same to myself
Best cover of lithium. Period.
While Kurt was kinda subtle about the message. This group is utter madness!

I have to agree this is probably the best cover I’ve seen.
The people who call this guy "gay" and "a fag" are absolutely wrong.
@@cryptsub Who cares who calls him what....
There's a message?
The energy from this performance could power a small country.
I loved Nirvana, and I love this. This is hands-down one of the best covers of theirs I've ever heard. Superb job.
A great interpretation of the song. Love at 0:31 when the choir kicks in it just becomes amazing.

For Jamie and Charlie the Housing Market Doomsday prediction was music to their ears.

Who is here because of The Big Short...?! I wonder what Kurt would have thought of this? The harp is ill! I wish the crowd had been more hyped.

The energy, subtle instrument interplay, joyous singing, and those horns grabbed me upon first listen and won't let me go.
Just re-watched The Big Short and didn't remember this from when I saw it in the cinema - what a great track.
Pretty fucking rad cover actually.
I was thinking this was like the Radio Disney version. . until 0:46 when it all picks up and I gotta agree with you.
Disney version? The song is about mental illness and religion, and this cover is clearly making a parody of the pop rock in church "everything will be alright" type of deal.
....I honestly don't even know what to think here but it's sort of bizarrely impressive
You're verified how??
This is fantastic. The Big Short bought me here, and I'm glad it did. What a brilliant cover. Gotta love them choir gals.

That's reminds me of the old days in the band room when schools still had that class. What an eclectic group of musicians and singers. I'd love to see them sometime
Holy shit, that's the best Nirvana cover I've ever heard/seen. Kurt would be proud. Rock on, Polyphonic!
Best cover of this song. Love the piano and how it goes that well with the guitar.
These guys look like they are having such a good time performing this, I've never seen a band look like they are having so much fun
it always strikes me when i watch videos of them performing...the sheer joy and enthusiasm EVERYONE in the band has is just wonderful to see
Don't watch the "official" video and just listen to their version.. I'm a Nirvana fan but this version grew on me really fast.

As a huge Nirvana fan who actually isn't that fond of Lithium, this is a pretty awesome sauce cover. And yes, the Big Short brought me here too.
Only The Spree could take a song of despair and turn it into something incredibly fun and uplifting
I've never heard this cover version, but to tell the truth I cannot stop listening this since yesterday! This is the Best!!!
Invest in Lithium. Save Lithium. Buy Batteries. Don't fear the future.
This guy....I like this guy! haha
Genius
It's soon I guess
So the batteries
What is this in reference to? Sounds familiar
I came to remember this song thanks to the movie the big short!! I loved her :P
Omg, they did it. They managed to cover Nirvana amazingly!
Best nirvana cover yet
For Jamie and Charlie, the housing market doomsday prediction was music to their ears!
I love how proud he looks when he says we broke our mirrors and does the tap thing absolutely incredible performance

Their dress-up, and this song's lyrics, is an apt description and interpretation of angels in the halls of heaven having their "day off" ..there.

Put my like under this video 9 years ago. It's still there!
saw it on the big short movies, and boom !!!! I was so amazed and searched this song right away. Best cover I ever encountered. Well done !

This version is manic, Kurt's version is depressive. Fitting since lithium is given to manic depressives (myself included).

His voice makes me smile... it's a trip.
