Good thing Kurt Cobain did a terrible job at writing pop songs (and trying to copy The Pixies). The Aberdeen, WA based trio started a music revolution with this anthem release from 1991.

Speaking from an awful personal experience in front of the entire student body in high school, I can tell you the song is made up of just 4 simple power chords…but that doesn’t mean you should try covering it. Cobain’s voice is not quite as easy to duplicate. But that doesn’t really matter anymore anyways…we have Activision to thank for ruining what was once a plethora of kids growing up wanting to be rock stars to now couch potatoes. I’m sure the King of Grunge is turning in his grave.

Fun fact: a mulatto (from the chorus) is a person with one black parent and one white parent, but in America we just call them African American (like our newly elected President). I bet if Obama was the President of Kenya he would be the first white guy to be elected.

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It’s fun to lose and to pretend
She’s over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay

I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it’s hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido

A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial
