Written by Kurt Cobain after he spent an entire day listening to “Meet the Beatles”, the title of this song came after Bleach producer Jack Endino asked what it was about and Cobain replied “It’s about a girl”.
This track is often said to be the first hint of the more pop-oriented songwriting that would become prominent on Nevermind, and stood in stark contrast to the more hardcore punk influenced sound of the rest of the Bleach album.

lol. Well said, bunglechunk. Also, Kurt didn't really hate Pearl Jam, he just didn't want to be constantly mentioned next to a band he thought was way more of a straight rock band. He saw himself as punk/new wave. He actually became friendly with Eddie Vedder in the last year or two of his life.

Fucking love this song! @ Martoman - I think the one who needs to do their research here is you. Nirvana are associated with Pearl Jam on here is because they were both classed as one of the big four bands (Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden) who brought grunge to the mainstream. Regardless of whether Kurt loved or hated them is not the issue here. They were both part of the grunge movement of the late ‘80’s early ‘90’s and for that reason they are associated with each other. And they’re both from Seattle. And they’re both fucking grunge bands. Do you get my point here? Do you see the pattern? And also, don’t they have spell check in Ireland? So before you start spouting shite about a subject, you might want to know what you’re talking about first. Just a thought. ;P

To BraedenASP: Yeah, they all pretty much did badly in school and dropped out in high school. Kurt didn't complete the courses to graduate and they sometimes talked about it like they were proud.
