  • When Kurt Cobain appeared on Calvin Johnson's "Boy Meets Girl" show on Evergreen State College's KAOS Community Radio, in September 1990, he brought along an acoustic guitar and a few new tunes. Just how new were they? As Cobain told the K Records founder during an on-air chat, he had written most of the lyrics that evening, adding, jokingly, "while I was driving…with one foot." He kicked off the mini-set with "Opinion," a tune that, in the tradition of future Nirvana prime cuts like "Teen Spirit" and "Rape Me," is built around a repeating four-chord progression that carries through both the verses and choruses. But despite some pointed lyrics (Cobain takes aim at the media in lines like "a year's subscription of bad puns"), "Opinion" comes off as little more than a sketch of a song. And unlike some of the other tunes Kurt played that evening - "Dumb," "Polly," "Lithium" - it was never developed further.
    Tuning: Detune guitar almost half step down.
    Equipment: Stella Harmony 12 string(with 5 nylon stings) Same model guitar as Kurt had
    Lyrics: Congratulations you have won
    It's a years subscription of bad puns.
    And it makes your story our concern
    And you set it up for returns (Alt: You said it all and you glory burns)
    My opinions. Mmm. Mmm. [x4]
    And there seems to be a problem here.
    Your state of emotion seems to clear.
    You rise and fall like wall street stock
    And you had an affect on our happy talk.
    Our opinions. Mmm. Mmm. [x2]
    My opinions. Mmm. Mmm. [x2]
    Congratulations you have won
    It's a years subscription of bad puns.
    And it makes your story our concern
    And you set it up for returns (Alt: You said it all and you glory burns)
    Our opinions. Mmm. Mmm.
    Your opinions. Mmm. Mmm. [x3]
    My opinions. Mmm. Mmm.

    • @Lat3xE4teR
      @Lat3xE4teR 4 года назад

      Tomnedreb yeah I think I had kind of been getting the same vibe with the lyrics now that I hear it again, with the “congratulations you have won with your subscription of bad puns” and of course the song’s title being opinion, and stuff about people not being able to think for theirselves, then the “monkey see monkey do, I don’t know why” line in stay away, but I don’t think it should really be looked into too much, like Kurt said, he doesn’t like it when his lyrics are misinterpreted or have too much meaning out into them by others.
