Subject: Nirvana song lyric quiz: Times up! The rest of the answers are shown.

Written By: Step-chan on 09/08/07 at 7:15 pm

I didn't see one for Nirvana on the first few pages, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Here's how it works... There are 21 samples of lyrics. You have to name the songs they came from.

Which songs do these lyrics come from:

1. Feel the blood becoming chowder rust(an early gross song of Kurt's)Mexican Seafood- loki 13


2. Look your legs are ashes, charred into a puzzle(This song was played at KAOS radio in April of 1987)Anorexorcist


3. With eyes so dialated, I've become your pupil
Drain You- ladybug316


4. I had to eat my dinner there, mashed potatoes and stuff like that(This song seems to play on childishness)Sliver


5. I'm so horny, that's okay my will is good
Lithium- Red Ant


6. There are countless formulas for pressing flowers(This song started out as a riff Dave Grohl had, lyrics based off of a 1986 novel called "Perfume")Scentless Apprentice


7. Our little group, has always been and always will until end
Smells Like Teen Spirit- Red Ant


8. And I swear that I don't have a gun
Come As You Are- loki 13



9. So I, can sigh, eternally(One Kurt's earlier songs... ended up on their final studio album)Pennyroyal Tea


10. I don't need a host to live(one of the more abrasive songs off of In Utero, has a unique melody)Milk it


11. In this climb, I am blind(A song that was recorded at the Bleach sessions, it was left off because it sounded abit too Melvins like, it ended up on a compilation a few years later)Big Long Now


12. The kind with seashells, driftwood and burlap(This song is about a traveling couple)Swap Meet


13. Take advantage while, you hang me out to dry
About A Girl- Red Ant


14. All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly(A song about bands that do similiar things to be successful)Aerozepplin


15. As defense I'm neutered and spayed
On A Plain- ladybug316


16. And the situation wasn't quite as intense as I thought(A song about a lack of expected intensity)Blandest


17. We can plant a house, we can build a tree
Breed- Red Ant


18. Black is black, trading back, we were enemies(About Jonathan Poneman of Sub Pop)Big Cheese


19. She should've have made her mother proud(About Kurt's dad hoping for a certain gender)Been A Son- loki 13


20. The grass is greener over here, you're the fog that keeps me clear(This song's title is named after a song writing formula)Verse Chorus Verse- ladybug316


21. It amazes me, the will of instinct
Polly- ladybug316




I made sure to do a mix of easier ones as well as harder ones, so there is a pretty broad mix of songs.

There is no set time limit for completing this, when it gets down to the last 5 unanswered lyrics, I'll post hints.

I'm sorry I couldn't participate in this quiz, not being a Nirvana fan at all. Still, I'd like to compliment you on your effort, and I do hope you'll be posting more quizzes.

BTW: what's the correct answer to #16? ???

Oops! Missed that one! Hold on.

Edit: Blandest is the answer.

I don't know if I will be... The only other things I can think of are anime or doing a haphazzard one about me. Anime fans are in the minority on this site. My knowledge is pretty specialized, so it's hard to do one which most people on here will know enough to try.

I'm actually surprised it got as many answers as it did.(I have bad luck with most of my threads in general)
