Opinion
Only one recording has surfaced:
"Cobain performed this angry, acoustic diatribe against a sensationalistic media live on KAOS-FM in Olympia, Washington, in 1990, supposedly on the night that he wrote it. The lyrics seem prescient: 'Congratulations, you have won / It's a year's subscription of bad puns / And it makes your story our concern / And you set it up before it burns.' "
Jim DeRogatis
Spin magazine, June 2002, page 72
Lyrics to this song can be found in Kurt Cobain's Journals (page 126).
According to ex-Geffen employee Jim Griffin, an electric version was also recorded in a studio. Do not be fooled, though, by the FAKE electric version that has been traded and is available through file sharing -- it's not Nirvana! Nirvana's electric version has not surfaced.
The BMI listing for this song is "Opinions," and that title has been cited before by people such as Courtney Love when she described the song as "funny and sad."
Recording Session(s)
March 1994 - Kurt's Basement, Seattle. (~ 2 weeks before Kurt's death)
September 25, 1990 - Olympia WA KAOS FM "Boy Meets Girl Radio"
