In a 1997 interview given to Luke Mahler, an independent musician then playing with the Surfing Chickens, Chris Novaselic, several years after the death of Cobain, stated that Kurt had been trying to rip off the Pixies' Debaser when he penned the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. While this information is clearly not new to anyone here, I felt that those involved in the discussion might like to know about the further corroborating evidence.
