i have nothing against riot-grrrls or bikini kill but this song is just so fucking funny.. i can't help but have to laugh everytime i hear this song. it's sarcastic and funny and.. basically.. just great
this IS a great song. it's funny...and it's true. everyone's the same. the ending to the song goes something like this: Do it for the kids...[bridge] No...we're not done. Well I went to school, in olympia [Facist bastard pigs are sweet, are we?] Bye bye gpod bye good bye bye bye good bye
This song makes fun of people who are anti-mainstream. People who accuse bands of selling out all the time. Someone posted these lyrics incorrectly, however. In the beginning she says, "Yeah, I know you wanna kill the rock stars." That could be a reference to the record label, Kill Rock Stars, and all the Riot Grrrls. Kathleen Hanna accused Kurt Cobain of selling out, and this song is like Courtney's big f-you to anyone who accused her or her husband of selling out. She is saying, "Yeah, I know you claim to be so anti-mainstream, but you're really not. Cuz if you had the chance, you'd want to try to be famous too."
yeah but this isn't the real rock star song, the original was pulled of the record because of kurts death due to the lyrical content of "how'd you like to be in nirvana? i bet you'd rather die." The original title is simply Olympia. It is a great one though a light way to finish such an emotional album
uh. does anyone know where i can find this on cd/album?
Classical High School is the home of conformity.
it's on the "rumours, lies, and media rape" bootleg/
Such a fantastic song and such a damn shame that it never did appear on LTT in the end. But, obviously, since Kurt had just died before the album's release it wouldn't have been very respectful. Gah, it still should have been properly released as opposed to only being available on bootlegs.
do you mean "Fascist"? n e ways great song strange erotic noises at the end..
why are you all talking about kathleen?
@buildatree This song has to do with the riot grrl movement
