[edit] Song Titles

Is it really appropriate to "correct" the titles of songs, i.e. Vendettagainst instead of Help Me I'm Hungry? I understand the intent, but I think that it would be more appropriate to list the song titles as they are on the release and add notes regarding the title. The problem with Vendettagainst is that there's no official confirmation that this is the real title; it's conjecture on the part of the fans, albeit almost certainly correct conjecture. Additionally, if we're going to list that track as Vendettagainst, it's inconsistent to list track 12 as Don't Want it All; it's well known that the song's actual title is Seed.

[edit] Track listing

Removed unecassary, excesvie & messy infomation. Not needed. Was fine the way it was.

[edit] Do Re Mi

Is there any confirmation that Do Re Mi was Cobain's "Last song"? seems like speculation to me, changed unless someone has proof. -Stu

[edit] It's Lead Belly

Everybody: it's "Lead Belly", not "Leadbelly". See the discusion. -- Face 10:49, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ain't it a Shame

It said "the band's" cover of "Ain't It a Shame" but it is not Nirvana, it's actually Mark Lanegan from Screaming Trees and Kurt...

To call it "Mark Lanegan and Kurt's" is insulting to Krist and Mark Pickeral, both of whom play on the recording. I've edited the line as such.206.15.76.98 (talk) 16:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Beans

Awwwwwwwwwww, you guys removed the page Beans had to itself? I actually made that page! and I was quite proud of it too, it was pretty in depth and well done, I thought. Wasn't relevant enough for you I guess? I mean, it is one of the most bizarre sounding songs Kurt made, and I think many people are curious about it. There's tons of other songs that get their own page, but not this one, just because Wikipedia deems it to be obscure? The page was there already when I ended up finishing it as it was before you removed it. I guess people will just have to do their own research about the meanings/origins/intentions of the song instead of easily referring to our trusty online encyclopedia where you can look up anything...

Oh wait, ALMOST anything. Thanks Wikipedia!
