"Smells Like Teen Spirit" is such a catchy song, even though I could never decipher the lyrics, something that Weird Al even pointed out.
@kamsismith

I couldn't decipher the lyrics either as I was confused about whether it was geared towards high school culture at the time the song was made as shown in the music video or something else. It doesn't matter either way as Kurt Cobain would later hate the song despite its long-standing impact years after his death. It's still a good song even if Kurt thinks otherwise.

When Weird Al asked Kurt Cobain if he could parody the song, the only concern Cobain has was if it was going to be about food. When Weird Al explained that it was going to be about how nobody could understand his lyrics, Kurt apparently laughed and gave the okay. He had later stated Weird Al to be one of the best parody artists he's ever heard, and he wasn't wrong.

The song "Hallelujah" was notably covered by the late great Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright (while it was on the Shrek soundtrack, the actual film uses the John Cale version, the Rufus Wainwright version on the other hand was for the soundtrack only since Rufus was under the DreamWorks Records label at the time).

David Platt had a middle of the night experience & wrote what became the song Africa. He took it to his band mates in Toto. A few didn’t think it sounded like music that their band would play. At least one suggested Platt keep the song for a single album release of his own. In the end, without much enthusiasm, it was released on their next album. To pretty much everyone’s surprise it became a hit.

Well, if James Cameron (director of "Titanic") had gotten his way, NO ONE would've recorded the song. (Céline's reluctance was because she'd already done movie songs--"Beauty and the Beast" and "Because You Loved Me"--but her husband and manager convinced her to do a demo; that demo version was what won over Cameron.)

It was Steven Adler who convinced him to keep the guitar riff despite Slash’s hesitation. He was doing the riff out of nowhere when the band wasn't practicing.

I think Slash mainly used the riff as a means of practicing before actually doing rehearsals and didn't think anything of it. It was only when the band heard him do it that they wanted to make it into a song. The rest is history.

They forgot Tina Turner....she didnt care for one of her biggest songs "What's Love got to do with it"...she didn't like that song and initially refused to perform it...turned out that song helped propel her past her Ike and Tina Turner Revue Days along with her rendition of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together"... regardless she didn't like the song.

Back in early 80’s MTV was red hot as venue for hit songs. Worth noting its music playlist was also whiter than wonder bread. Sony wanted MTV to play the first music video from Thriller~Billy Jean. Purportedly, MTV said no. Sony then threatened to pull all if its music video catalog from MTV unless Billy Jean was played & given a fair shot. The song got its air time & was super popular. I have heard this story in several different places but can’t 💯 guarantee the veracity of the story but at the very least it’s a great story
