Smells Like Teen Spirit

Smells Like Teen Spirit is a song by Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl that appears in the book through a credited excerpt. The book’s publication note identifies the work and its writers, dates the copyright to 1991, and records permission for the excerpt’s use; the available evidence does not identify the passage’s placement or explain its significance within the narrative.

Attribution and Publication

The excerpt is credited to Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl for both words and music. Its copyright notice names EMI Virgin Songs, Inc., The End of Music, MJ Twelve Music, and Murky Slough Music, with administration specified for the latter three rights interests. The note also states that international copyright is secured and that use is by permission.

Place in the Book

The publication record establishes that the book reproduces an excerpt from the song under permission. It supplies no lyric text in the available evidence and makes no claim about how the song is used in the surrounding narrative, so its role beyond being one of the book’s credited musical excerpts remains unspecified.
