UPDATE: Tony! Toni! Toné! vs. Karmin vs. Nirvana
This is an update to Tony! Toni! Toné! vs. Nirvana originally submitted by Beau
For some reason artists have decided to latch on to the pre-chorus of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (1991). Let’s add YouTube sensation Karmin to the list with there aptly titled track “Hello” (2012). The song’s wikipedia page says
“Hello” interpolates “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana.
I am not entirely sure what that means. Linear notes anyone? Once again using state of the art computer technology I am able to come up with these 4 simulated reactions from Kurt Cobain if he was with us today.

At first I didn’t hear the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (1991) soundalike with “Let’s Get Down” (1996) by Tony! Toni! Toné!?. Then the chorus hit and it was obvious. The wikipedia page for House of Music claims that the chorus samples the bridge and cites a sample database website. I had Beau send me a snapshot of the linear notes for “Let’s Get Down” [If you ever owned physical music this is what comes with it. It is printed on paper 😛 ].
I don’t see Cobain, Novoselic or Grohl on there.
