I just listened to Paul Anka covering "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
I feel like part of my innocence has just been taken away.

Ask me anything.

1. Why?
First off why would you listen to that crap? And second why would it make you lose your innocence?

4. I was drawn to horror of it all...
I tried to reach for the remote control on my Sirius reciever but I was frozen in shock before I could change the channel.

7. Stern played a bit of it yesterday on his show.
Anka was in for an interview and to promote the album. It sounded as bad as Pat Boone's "Metal Mood" album but he claims it's serious and not a goof.

10. Could have..
been worse...William Shatner giving a crack at it would have made me commit suicide or go postal.

2. Did he do it just for the irony, or what?

5. He played it last night on Letterman
It wasn't actually that bad IMHO, since he changed up the arrangement and did it as a much different sort of song than the original. It might have been bad if he'd tried to sound like Nirvana. So I didn't feel like I was losing my innocence or anything. :-)

6. Let me guess he's covering "Nobodies" as a ballad next.

8. Wasn't that terrible? Good for a laugh, though
I had just taken a sip of wine when my boyfriend turned up the sound and it was everything I could do not to spit it out.

I mentioned Paul Anka's nasty, anti-abortion song and my boyfriend said, "Oh! I never saw it that way." So I sang a bit for him.

9. Were you listening to Sirius Left of Center?
The first thing that came to my mind when it saw it on the display was that they just switched formats on me.

14. How about "Closer" by the Nine Inch Nails
" I wanna fuck you like an animal

I wanna feel you from the inside"
