I love sonic youth, but i hated this version of the song. Thurston Moore was a huge fan of Nirvana's version, actually. When he first listened to In Utero, as is according to the linear notes in the With the Lights Out box set, he declared that Moist Vagina should be the first song on the album.
It's really, if you ever listen to the original, very beautifully disturbing. Sonic Youth's version is... Well, I don't know. I don't think it really fits their sound properly. The way Kim sings it is kind of sexy, which is just how she sings in general, honestly. (that's just her natural voice). That sound does not fit this song, though. It's meant to disturb, not entice. That's just my opinion, however.
