Y'know......
The one with Leif Garrett singing.

I seriously think I might like this version better.
Oh, who am I kidding?  They're the same thing.

its annoying... i usually skip past it.... when i do listen to it i just like to listen to the odd bass tone on the recording along with how everything else sounds.
what r you TALKING about. the original is slightly better. leif garret can go freshen up in the ladies room for all i care.

the melvins one is the only one I've ever listened to - and I like it, but I was never into nirvana.
So I vote for the crybaby version.

you know when I saw them do it live on the 2 X 4 tour, it was the end of their first set.   they asked for a volunteer from the crowd to come up and sing it...  dude, goes up and miscues and basically fucks it up right away, he stops and tried to flag the melvins to start over - well.... they were in full on jam mode oblivious of the vocals - it was entertaining so also a good instrumental live. :D

the obvious dimensions of dale's kit and the tone of the bass make it (for lack of a better word) deeper. i definitely dig it more than the nirvana version.

that being said, i never really liked Nirvana, so i usually avoid it.

I am the Sun

I just listen to it because I like listening to albums in full, but it really isn't notable or remarkable in any way.

I think leif garret took this recording exponentially more serious then MELVINS did.

Nirvana fan here i wish Nirvana would have never made Nevermind. Then i think more people would be like wow that Nirvana band was cool.

Going to go against the popular opinion here and say I actually like both versions. It is a good song. I like the Weird Al version too. Listening to the Melvins version is refreshing, it's  a bit harder and sharper.

As for Leif, he does suck. When he performed it live he forgot, or didn't know half the lyrics. He was pathetic, he thought he was cool, but he was a douche, I got a good laugh watching him. Melvins playing the song live is pretty awesome though, I heard it at the show, and they played it at the sound check, both times were great, it was heavier than the Crybaby recording. I wish they'd play it again on tour.
