| Mary Lou Lord – Some Jingle Jangle Morning Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
My girlfriend recently became obsessed with Kurt Cobain. She’s younger than me and didn’t grow up with Nirvana, and was in a strict Christian family. Anyway, she is really obsessed with Kurt / Courtney, to my dismay, since I’ve always regarded Courtney as a poser musician. Anyway, my gfs interest led me to Mary Lou’s song. I expected to hate it or at least be disappointed, but it’s actually pretty good and catchy. She seems to list a lot of her influences, and I’m guessing Black Tambourine is one...for this song anyway. And of course, this is about Cobain. I’m oddly touched by this tune, nostalgic for the time in ‘91 when I turned down my chance to see Nirvana in Philly...because my friend said they were a frat band. Years later, another friend described meeting Cobain after a show (Hole opened for his band) and described Kurt as a very cool guy (and described Grohl as a dick!). Anyway, after reading Mary Lou’s story about riding Kurt around on the back of her bike, I’ve got a lovely sound track to that image. If things had gone differently with them, maybe he’d still be around. Good song, Mary Lou. |
