Smells Like Your Voice

Twice now "Smells Like Teen Spirit" has crept into our cohort's discussion of educational methodology. The first was during Maggie and Meaghan's music presentation (in December?) on cover songs for Rick Beach's class. The second was on Tuesday when Ms. Haug enlightened us on using the famous Nirvana song to teach tone and style. I think Ruth Culham would agree that Kurt and crew mastered this trait and knew how to draw the listener in and create a bond between the listener and the writer (103) -- so ripe was the song for personal connection that others took it and ran, with the result being one song performed in many different voices. Below are some of those voices, courtesy of a great (albeit not very original) resource for video in the classroom, YouTube.com.

If you like one in particular, please vote for it in the poll to the right...

Well, your poll won't allow me to vote (I've had trouble with that feature on my blog, too), so I'll just tell you that nothing trumps the orginal. Kurt always let you know just why he kept a gun to his head.
