How I miss You: This song is almost certainly about Kurt Cobain. He
obviously misses Kurt and so wrote a song about him, it was very soon after
Kurt's death when this was released so it is not suprising that this is
about Kurt.
Friend of A Friend: This song is almost certainly about Kurt Cobain. 'he
thinks he drinks too much' (kurt's addiction to cough syrup) 'He's never
been in love' (kurt's dead-end marriage to Courtney) 'He says
'Nevermind'.....and no-one speaks' (kurt suggests the title of their new
album and Krist and Dave are dumbfounded)
Everlong: This song is almost certainly about Kurt Cobain. He wonders, as he
sings along with Kurt (during Nirvana jamming sessions), if everything would
feel this real forever..if anything would ever be this good again. He also
invites Kurt to come down and waste away with him (heroin reference)
February Stars: This song is almost certainly about Kurt Cobain. Kurt's
birthday was in February, and he was a star.
I'll Stick Around: This song is almost certainly about Kurt Cobain. Kurt
will always 'stick around' and be with him in spirit. But of course, Dave
doesn't owe him anything (refering to Nirvana's arguments over money).
Walking After You: This song is almost certainly about Kurt Cobain, because
it is sad and Kurt is dead and Dave is sad about Kurt being dead, you do the
math.
Doll: This song is almost certainly about Kurt Cobain. 'Doll' was Pat
Smear's pet name for Kurt.
Monkey Wrench: This song is almost certainly about Kurt Cobain. Kurt chose
the picture of the monkey on the back of Nevermind. And Courtney is a wench.
Hence, 'Monkey Wench'. But the name 'monkey wrench' was a typo.
My Poor Brain: This song is almost certainly about Kurt Cobain. It is
written from Kurt's point of view, quite clearly Kurt's brain bore the brunt
of the shotgun shell hence it is 'poor'. Kurt feels sorry for his brain.
Stacked Actors: This song is about Courtney Love.

Hey Sam, wise up, man.
Dave..
In a letter to the editor
Disgust in depth was my life
With an aversion of distaste
From the wet lips of a nurse
No. You're wrong there. It's for Krist since he's a vegetarian.
"All Apologies" was Kurt's apology to Dave for killing himself and
ruining Dave's spot in the limelight as Nirvana's drummer.
"Rape Me" was an inside joke between Kurt and Dave about the time Kurt
showed up for a gig all jacked up and wearing a frilly, flowery dress,
and Dave said, "What, do you expect me to rape you now?"
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a reference to Dave's preference for
wearing the short-lived deodorant. Kurt was somewhat impressed, but
also somewhat annoyed at the way Dave smelled so flowery and *he*
smelled kind of nasty. But hey, that's punk ethics for ya.
"In Bloom" was how he admired Dave's eternal pubescent look, and how
much he wished he could have railed his ass as a teenager. (Kurt was
very high at the time.)
"Lithium" was another inside joke between Kurt and Dave, about the
time Kurt showed up for a gig all jacked up and wearing a frilly,
flowery dress. Kurt started bitching at Dave for smelling better than
he did, but his mood suddenly swung to a manic euphoria when Krist
belched in the background. Dave said, "Jesus Christ, man, should I
get you some fucking lithium?"
"Heart-Shaped Box" was about this little locket Dave wore around his
neck with a picture of Butch Vig in one half, and Danny DeVito in the
other half. Nobody really understands why.
"Know Your Rights" is yet another inside joke between the two merry
pranksters, about the time Kurt showed up for a gig all jacked up and
wearing a shirt that read, "FUK EVERYTHING". This gig was in Salt
Lake City, not known for its liberal attitudes toward things, and the
police showed up to haul his punk-ethic ass off for a cold night in
the cold slammer on charges of disturbing the peace. Dave yelled
mockingly at him, on the way out, "Hey, you better know your rights!"
I could go on for hours, but it's all really very obvious if you think
about it. :)

Surely. And the working title for "Dive" was, of course, "Dave".
It was a coincidental print error on the original 7" that
spelled it "Dive". When it came time to compile Incesticide,
eagle-eared A & R reps at DGC pointed out that the lyric did
kind of sound like "Dive" and not "Dave" so the band decided to
maintain the mispelling.

The song was written in late '89 (I'm guessing September/October) when
Nirvana were playing a bunch of shows in the UK. In order to "get
hip" with the crowd there, they (or Kurt, rather) sang with what they
thought was a british accent, and that's why "Dave" is sounding like
"Dive".
> I too could go on for hours, but it's all really very obvious if

You can even hear it in "the first Nirvana song", "Spank Thru". Kurt
is clearly singing "I've been looking for Dave Grohl". The song deals
with the fact that they could never find Dave when they needed him the
most (such as when they jammed, played shows or were recording in a
studio). I could also go on for hours, but really, some things are so
clear that I shouldn't have to tell you.

Whatever you say, dear.
MY friend thinks it's "I've been lookin' for Dave Grohl"... and he's serious!!!
In spank thru?
Dave..
I'm not a redneck...
I don't believe in the redneck ideology...
I conduct myself in a manner befitting a gentleman...
But... there are still rednecks.
Hahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!! For YEARS I have been jokingly saying that that's what
he's singing. My reasoning was that Kurt was psychic, you see, and knew that
what the band sorely needed to achieve world wide fame was Dave Grohl.
What's funny is that the line really DOES sound like that, particularly in the
Muddy Banks version, which Dave played on. So I have to wonder if, in that
version at least, or occasionally, Kurt changed the words to "I've been
looking for Dave Grohl"? He had to have known it sounded like that...

yup silly isn't it!!!
