Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre present: Smells Like…

Like, amazing! My squandered youth is restored by the power of celebrity! Not only has Katie Holmes single-handedly brought all the clothes in the bottom drawer of my dresser back into fashion, but now the dynamic duo known only as the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre have covered one of the anthems of the Ambiguously Gay Nineties and brought it vividly, if poorly-translatedly, back to life.

Who’d have thought the deodorant would outlast the Bard of Seattle, eh?

  1. Sorry, I’m an import. The last band I really was into was the Beatles. I’m old. I recognise Kurt Cobain and the Grunge movement, but not the music. I know I have sinned, I will do penance. Will going to the EMP be punishment enough?

  2. Finally, there is something cooler than googly eyes on a sock puppet… and the only thing cooler than googly eyes on a sock puppet singing Smells Like Teen Spirit would be googly eyes on a sock puppet singing Surfing On Heroin.

  3. They DID do Bohemian Rhapsody, which I have right here on this very blog somewhere; try a search for “Hebridean Rhapsody”.

    Also, did you see my post about Googly Eyes on Cock? NSFW, but quite amusing nonetheless.

  4. Love it! I’m kind of old and crinkly too so I had only heard the Ukelele Orchestra of GB doing Smells Like Teen Spirit up till now…the original’s not bad either…but I love those Edinburgh puppets!

  5. They rawk. Their tribute to Chuck Berry is also a classic of YouTube.

    The Weird Al “Smells like Nirvana” is pretty good. Kurt Cobain said that was when they knew they’d made it: when they got covered by Weird Al.

  6. Raincoaster, it depends which part of Seattle you are in. I suspect that it smells like beer in Fremont because of the microbreweries there. And a few other places, too, like Capitol Hill.
