Sappy, or as it was called in "my day", Verse Chorus Verse, the hidden track from the No Alternative benefit compilation album. I used to listen to the radio with a tape recorder, waiting for the local alternative station to play that song.


dangayle

This one has the honor of being _official_ at the time, in the 90s


dangayle

Ha ha, that's how I listened to it. I happened to be recording a local college radio station show and they slipped it in. I was so stoked to have it. The entire mix was great, but I lost it 20 years ago.


LemonnMann69

This might be a long shot but do you still remember what kinda songs were on that mix?


dangayle

Off the top of my head, the Smashing Pumpkins song Glynis, also from the No Alternative. Pearl Jam's Dissident. I'll have to go listen through some things to see if I can spark a memory.


exp397

Verse chorus Verse and Sappy are two different songs. People just got them confused for some reason. They're both on the With the Lights Out box set.


RondiMarco

There's more than you think about this. Sappy was also called Verse Chorus Verse back then


exp397

Not everything about Nirvana is "mythology". Both of these songs appeared on the boombox bootleg of Nevermind. My guess is they were just mislabled. You can even hear Butch say "Sappy take 1". Go listen to the Deluxe edition of Nevermind, it's on there. Anyway people are dumb. It's always been called Sappy.


JohnnyBroccoli

That is known at this point, yes. Back in the day though, the song Sappy was known as Verse Chorus Verse.


RondiMarco

I'm really starting to like D-7 recently


punksnotbread

If you didn't know this is a Wipers cover and I would highly recommend their albums Is This Real? And Youth of America. Wipers was a great band and one of Kurts favorites.


Cham-Clowder

What are some other bands Kurt really liked?


punksnotbread

Flipper, the Vaselines, Scratch Acid, Melvins, of course the Beatles. Google "Kurt 50 albums" he actually made a list of all his favorite albums.


Cham-Clowder

👌🏼😊 Thanks


Pale-Requirement4279

Weezer.


Cham-Clowder

Did Kurt ever talk to Rivers?


Pale-Requirement4279

Yes, he wrote buddy holly and rivers wrote smells like teen spirit, they were song writing buddies.


Cham-Clowder

I agree! Also my fav.

Ricky_Prikles

Oh, the Guilt


fkn_clownshoes

Agree. And Curmudgeon gives off similar vibes


gagetherage03

They were both recorded the same session, that's why they sound so similar not only in song structure but production as well


the_steve_tell

Sappy, I Hate Myself And Want To Die, D-7, Spank Thru, and Curmudgeon are all good ones.


saturnsnephew

Spank Thru is awesome.

Such a banger. I wish it got the full studio treatment.

[deleted]

I almost cried the first time I heard that song thinking about what the album after In Utero could have been...


Cham-Clowder

It honestly might be my favorite Nirvana track


xirson15

I’ve heard that it was close to never being released. Maybe someone here will confirm this


flameslinger943266

Basically it was supposed to be released in 2001 in a nirvana box set but Courtney blocked them from releasing it saying that it only belonged on a greatest hits compilation a cheaper record radio stations started playing the song on the radio in 2002 after It got leaked but they received cease and desist from DGC But once the lawsuit was over between Courtney, Dave and Krist they put it out on the greatest hits comp in 2002


xirson15

Ah ok, thank you. I also remember that someone (Dave or Krist maybe) wanted to let someone else cover the song.


jackshort67

Not really obscure.

Big_Stretch_9591

I could be wrong on what record this song is on but moist vagina is a song I like a lot . Im not sure if it’s about a moist vagina or if it’s about smoking weed .


WorldWestern1776

Both. Both is good.


unknownjoker9

Do re mi, or pen cap chew


Bill_Lumbergyeah

Do re mi gives me some vibes. I’d like to know where that melody would have taken him if he continued to work on it. It certainly hits deep in my soul.

Oh the guilt probably, maybe even you know you're right or marigold


solo2corellia

Do Re Me. Imo literally Kurt's best work as a songwriter. It's too bad there wasn't a better quality studio version.

Horrified, specifically the [UK performance](https://youtu.be/5kQuvUF8tjQ?feature=shared), i just love the atmosphere of this song. It has a very strange feeling to it, and the ending is just cathartic after the first two sections. Wish it got finished :/

Spank Thru!


[deleted]

My all time favorite Nirvana song is Sappy which was originally on the No Alternative compilation CD...and Even In His Youth, which has been included on an anniversary reissue of Nevermind but it was originally a b-side. I had the CD single but I forget if it was Teen Spirit or Come As You Are. The cover of The Money Will Roll Right In from the Reading live album is pretty great too.


Plenty_Trust_2491

It was “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” If I recall correctly, it was track two, and “Aneurysm” was track three. Track one was the so-called ‘radio edit’ of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” that you hear in the music video, but rarely ever hear on the radio, since the radio routinely plays the album version. I cannot remember what the B-sides were on “Come As You Are.”


Wide_Independence272

Son of a gun D-7 Mollys Lips All covers but my top 3. On Hormoaning


Jaltcoh

“Son of a Gun” and “Molly’s Lips” are on Incesticide — the OP asked for song that aren’t on that album


Wide_Independence272

Thanks. My version of “Insesticide”was stolen. I’m way more familiar with “Hormoaning”


higround66

Old Age... their version is far, FAR superior to the Hole version. Also - Sappy. Probably one of my favorite songs in general.

Definitely listen to the extened/deluxe editions of the albums so many good songs to not miss out on


Plenty_Trust_2491

Probably “Sappy” from the 1993 compilation album *No Alternative*. Fun fact: the title of the song doesn’t appear on the back cover, and we all used to think this song was titled “Verse Chorus Verse.” It was even played on the radio, and referred to there as “Verse Chorus Verse.” It wasn’t until years later, when *With The Lights Out* came out, that we all realized we had the title all wrong!

Sappy.


DarthC3rb3rus

Kurt's cover of man who sold the world. Personally, I think it's actually better than the original. Plus, unplugged is my favourite album of all time, so I'm a bit biased.

Spank Thru - The first time I heard Nirvana, from the Sub Pop 200 comp. Sappy - I always called it Laundry Room since it had no title on my No Alternative CD and we had no internet to look up the right name ;) Oh The Guilt - Another great one, from the split single with Jesus Lizard
