What is this song, all about
Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words, to it go
I wish you'd tell me I don't know
Don't know don't know don't know, oh no
Don't know don't know don't know

Now I'm mumblin', and I'm screamin'
And I don't know, what I'm singin'
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
I still don't know, what I'm singin'

We're so loud and, incoherent
Boy this oughta, bug your parents
Yeah
Hi

It's unintelligible, I just can't get it through my skull
It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss, with all these marbles in my mouth
Don't know don't know don't know, oh no
Don't know don't know don't know

Well we don't sound, like [[Madonna]]
Here we are now, we're [[Nirvana]]
Sing distinctly, we don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana

A garage band from Seattle
Well it sure beats, raisin' cattle
Yeah

And I forgot, the next verse
Oh well I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheet's, so hard to find
What are the words, oh never mind
Don't know don't know don't know, oh no
Don't know don't know don't know

Well I'm yellin', and we're playin'
But I don't know, what I'm sayin'
What's the message, I'm conveyin'
Can you tell me, what I'm sayin'

So have you got, some idea
Didn't think so, well, I'll see ya

Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, hodinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Ayiyaaaaaah

Bill, how about some Weird Al...?  Perhaps something more recent than "Smells Like Nirvana"? 

I'd love to hear "Bob" from "Poodle Hat" (also on "The Esential Weird Al Yankovic") or perhaps "Canadian Idiot"?

If for no other reason than it might annoy the haters...

With a name like pigglywiggly, you got the nerve to make an observation like that?
We require more "Weird Al"!

brilliant yes, but according to his website https://www.weirdal.com/faq.htm he's from California. Maybe it's just a Canadian sense of humor

Please, never, EVER, play this again! I\'m not fond of the original but this is like someone driving a railroad spike into my head, slowly.
Weird Al? What\'s next, Spike Jones? Tom Lehrer? Very amusing, a nice palate cleanser. And thanks for following it up with another \"cover\", Sinead O doing \"All Apologies\". As you were, troops!
All cheer for the master of silliness!
LMFAO Never thought I\'d hear Wierd Al on RP. I\'ve loved Al since my introduction to Dr. Demento as a kid. In the case of this song, it probably helps that I don\'t care for the original.
I took my 13-year old to see Weird Al and it was one of the most enjoyable shows I have seen myself
I don\'t care about what most musicians make because I\'m usually a contented person, but it causes me great anguish to realize that this guy is rich. :(
HA! I\'m always up for an occasional Weird Al song...makes me smile :D
Yuck
This is quite possibly his best song!!! Very funny.... but it should have more acordian :)
Believe it or not, Al puts on a great show. Very funny. I caught him at the Beacon here in NY not too long ago. If he hits your town, grab some pub buddies and check him out.
Sorry. Dont even think it\'s funny.
