Nirvana : On this day

1991, Nirvana recorded a performance for BBC TV music show Top Of The Pops in London. When asked to lip-sync ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ to a pre-recorded tape Kurt Cobain protests by singing in a low-pitched funny voice with the rest of the band not even trying to mime in-time to the track.

Programme Title: Top of the Pops
Broadcast Date/s: 11/28/91
Length: 4 Minutes
Notes: Kurt was apparently 'possessed' by the spirit of ex-Smiths singer Morrissey for this performance. The footage was also used in Live Tonight! Sold Out! and Kurt and Courtney. It has also been regularly repeated on BBC TV as well. The performance was recorded on 27th November, 1991.
