"Very Ape" is a song by the American grunge band Nirvana. It is the seventh song on their 1993 album, In Utero. The lyrics of the song address several aspects of stereotypical machismo that lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter Kurt Cobain despised, which is evident in the topic's inclusion among many other of the band's songs, including "Territorial Pissings" from their second album Nevermind. A solo acoustic version of the song was featured on the 3rd disc of the 2004 Nirvana box set With the Lights Out.
This song was the final song to be written for Nirvana's In Utero album, not being performed live until April 9, 1993.
[edit] Trivia
Rock/rave group The Prodigy directly based a guitar part on the main guitar riff of "Very Ape" in their song "Voodoo People", which appeared on the album Music for the Jilted Generation. The reperformed guitar sample is credited to "Lance Riddler". Also, the metalcore band Ed Gein performs a cover of this song after about eight minutes of silence on their track "What is This Monstrosity" from the album "It's a Shame a Family Can Be Torn Apart by Something As Simple As a Pack of Wild Dogs" album.
