Huh, I never knew that was a cover. I like both but like Nirvana's version more I think.

@thepreposterouspanda 🤔. I ... don't really mean to call you out, but have you never seen the mtv live set this comes from? or listened to the cd of the same? I could swear he says fairly clearly before playing 'this is a meatpuppets song'

@dirge I've never watched the full performance, no. Just a clip of it and I don't believe he mentioned it. 🤔 If he did, I didn't pick up on it. 😅

@thepreposterouspanda I went fishing, cuz it's been forever since I've seen it. it's on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/NirvanaUnpluggedNY1993
around 39:06, cobain brings them onstage. I guess he doesn't announce it as a meat puppets song like I'd thought.

@thepreposterouspanda for a long time I also didn't know it was a cover. But eventually it became my doorway to the Meat Puppets
