Name | New Career | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Dave Grohl" | "Now the lead singer of the Foo Fighters, arguably more popular than Nirvana but not as infuential. He has also played for Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, Queens of the Stone Age, and Nine Inch Nails, and is now in a supergroup called Them Crooked Vultures." | - dxman |
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Sliver" | "Grandma" probably would have been better, since Kurt's telling her to take him home several times. - rocky |
| "Lounge Act" | No lounge act mentioned, but Kurt does say the 'f'-word, which would be contraidictory to what a real lounge act would allow. - rocky |
| "Lithium" | Although Kurt Cobain mentions "I'm not gonna crack" several times (and 'cracking' is why some people are prescribed lithium), the drug is not mentioned in the song. - rocky |
| "Smells Like Teen Spirit" | As this song is known for having misheard lyrics, my dad believed this song was called "Let Me Entertain You". If that was the case, I could belittle Robbie Williams for ruining a perfectly good song. But he didn't, so I can't. - Ned |
| "Smells Like Teen Spirit" | "Here we are now, entertain us" - B1982 |
