The guy who turned Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit into a summer pop hit

His nickname is Sleep Good, totally unknown until last year and suddenly gone viral last January, after publishing on his Vimeo channel a fresh new version of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit. Their interpretation switched the song into a major scale and rephrased the whole structured with the explicit goal to sound like a summer hit. The result was so incredible that all magazines were obliged to talk about it, comparing this version to Weezer, Lit or Green Day. On their new version, the band is called Nirvirna and the song is a refreshing drink: Teen Sprite.

Due to the copyright infringement, the original video on Vimeo has been removed. But you can find below the audio version, still available.
