Thank you Kurt for your amazing songs!You always make me feel better.Wish you were alive! Losers... | Reviewer: Spruceter | 10/12/09 A bunch of losers promoting the band as some sort of religion. Yeah, they've got a good groove and was something new at the time... but they're just a band... and Kurt is dead... and Courtney is rich beyond her wildest dreams... and Kurt is still dead. Cobain | Reviewer: Riley | 10/12/09 This song is a great song. Nirvana is a band that brings their emotions to the table. And that's why I love them so much. Every song they ever recorded has some type of emotion to it and it's just amazing. Fuck top charts newer music. That's just bull shit propaganda that people throw together to get a few bucks. Cobian put love into his music. Thank you Cobian for sharing your music with all of us man. Polly | Reviewer: Jackie Martins | 10/8/09 You know, It's kind of wierd. I've listened to Nirvana all my life. I've heard everything they've done. Polly was one of the first songs I heard of them and I didn't really care for it. But now I'm starting to listen to this song over and over and the more I hear it the better it gets. Now I'm sitting here listening to all the versions they put out of it. Damn Good Song... | Reviewer: Corpse | 9/19/09 I've listened to the unplugged version and I almost cried... Kurt, we miss you, since you died, rock & metal became pretty crappy, man... (except Youthansia) Your wife is becoming Yoko Ono II, and the original Yoko Ono is annoying... Rest In Peace, you really worth that like most of the people... My outlook | Reviewer: william shadixx cobain | 9/2/09 Ok first of all my name is not a fake im changing it to that so i go by it. im changin my last name so cobain cuz im not accepted by my jock loving uncles and kurt is the only mother fucker who has ever made me feel like i belong and im not garbage i love him he is the fvckin greatest if you dont agree blow me i grew up with his music im only seventeen but iv always listened to em here lately in the past six months iv not stopped listenin to them wenever i had the chance this song is anti rape kurt hated rapists and racists and gay bashers he once said if you hate gays or blacks then leave us the fuck alone kurt stood for us under dogs cuz he grew up an underdog rest easy my friend you were and still are loved long live the memory of kurt donald cobain my stand | Reviewer: corey benci | 8/1/09 its not the meaning, nor even the lyrics that i aspire to in nirvana, as some people might read into the meanings, it could make very little difference to me personally, music is expression of self and emotion, as an artist paints his depiction on a canvas of a rape scenario, kurt seemed to be able to tune his voice into the seeting or mood, along with there instruments, if you listen to the way his guitar is tuned in "where did you sleep last night" (unplugged) there is a distinct difference in that in comparison to other songs they've done unplugged, the guitar, at least to me in my own expression brings about a sense of anguish or misery and maybe even a tint of a question you wouldnt wanna know the answer to, as much as you would, the tone and mood these guys set is uncompareable kurt, in this song could have been speeking in another language, but with that tone in his voice, it would probably still hold that same essence this song expresses, i find such personality and orginallity in there music, while most musicians mix 100's of bits and peices of similar music, to my ear, alot of times, it relatively sounds similar, another thing about lyrics the voice is no less an instrument then a grand piano is, your voice is an instrument, and with there lyrics being so "vague" or "making no sense" i feel like its almost a as if your being handed an un-colored coloring book, there substance is virtually your substance, hear what you wanna hear, you ever hear a child try to sing there favorite song to themselves? most of the time it sounds nothing like the song itself, or the lyrics are totally off when they sing it, but in there heads thats what they hear and thats what they like ive heard before kurt would blow off interveiwers questions of what his lyrics meant or said sometimes he'd laugh and ive even heard he wrote the lyrics to one of theres songs on a napkin 10 minutes before they recorded it, this is brilliance, in an analogy: if you saw an artist in the street, painting, would you focus on the painting, or what the artist was wearing that day, where would your judgement stand?, would u dislike the artist because he was homo-sexual, even though his painting caught your attention in the first place?, if i showed u a nirvana song and someone said it was about rape, would you think thats "horrible" or "disgusting" or would you be interested in the artists depiction? and if you happened to agree with everything ive stated, and told you i was born with severe cateracts and have been blind since birth would u suddenly feel "dumb" for listening to a man as blind as a bat crackers | Reviewer: ijustwantmyphonecall | 7/26/09 for non-english speakers "polly want a cracker" is something parkeet owners teach their birds to say. the way it's used in this song probably means the kidnapper/rapist is mocking his victim for being hungry. crackers are nothing bad in and of themselves, but it would be very bad if that's all you had to eat. especially if you got very little to drink as they are dry and salty. some smokers say "polly wants a cracker" to say they want their smoke break, but I don't know if that pertains to this song. perhaps the kidnapper tortured the girl with lit cigarettes? as others said, this is from a newspaper story kurt read. it shifts perspective as most nirvana songs do. there is a liner note clarifying that kurt was on the girl's side, of course. he calls rapists "a waste of sperm and egg" which is only the truth. there are other meaning you can see as with any song. this song got reworked a lot of times and is on every single nirvana thing I own so it was clearly a very important song to the band. I love nirvana, but I don't like this song as much as the others. but that is not to say anything against anyone who does like it. I just knew someone who had been raped and murdered, so I tend to skip this one sometimes. yay to new nirvana fans! some of the stuff between older fans is not against current new fans, but against people who came in only for nevermind in the early 90s and then started listening to new country or something equally vile. haha they liked to make a lot of very, very nasty jokes about kurt so you can see why they weren't well loved. don't let stuff like that scare you away. not that I speak for anybody but me, but I was a early fan and I never stopped being a fan, so there's that. :) polly:D | Reviewer: unyikabonya | 7/8/09 i'm 15, and i don't know nirvana very well, i only know a few songs off "nevermind", but i like them very much:) this song is one of my favourites...and really, today, the biggest part of "youth" is listening to shit. Noob Stigma! | Reviewer: Zak | 6/23/09 I've been listening to Nirvana for 4 days, I've known of them all my life and have been prompted to listen to them for just as long. So over 4 days I listened to 4 albums my Dad had and thought hey I change my mind they sound pretty cool. So at this point I decide i'm a 'fan', it seems loads of you would disagree, I read all the reveiws for this song and learned a lot about the fanbase of Nirvana, they are the most dedicated bunch ever! I'd just love to be a part of that but I forget who but people would describe me as a poser, it's written in such a way that suggests if you were not into Nirvana from a really young age you can never be a Nirvana fan, I don't know all the meanings to all the songs but this particular song I kind of got it straight away. I can tell that they have a lot to offer as a band. It's just a plea to people basically insulting the Nirvana Noobs, how do people expect them to live on if they make people feel like Idiots for not getting it straight away, I mean not everyone is super intelligent (Or mabye that's just me.). Not that there is anything wrong with being insulted, it's not like anything happens right? Pollys awesome as a song I could listen to it for ages everything about it is perfect, I love all of em' they are musicians among musicians. Man Kurt Cobains death (Suicide/Murder whatever I don't have all the facts.) such a shame, theres really no bands anymore that can connect with people, I don't mean 'Angst Ridden Teens' that terms offensive as hell, I mean everyone gets down right, it makes me feel like... When someone shares their sadness with you it balances you out. Dunno! Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
