This song is about how Kurt Cobain wanted to find a christmas tree. He went to several different department stores until he found the right one. Upon bringing it home to his family he discovered a small gnome in the branches of the tree. The gnome introduced himself as Rumpelstiltskin. He gave him the lyrics to what he considered “The greatest song in the history of rock”. Cobain was puzzeled by the bizzare experience but he met together with the band and came up with the music. To this day, the gnomes of Neverland still listen to this song. In fact, it is their national anthem. Rumor has it that Cobain hired one of these gnomes to polish his guitars, however this has been declined by the rest of the band.
