This was a spoof on the TV variety shows of the 1950s. The approach was a humorous look at a grunge band of the ’90s taking on the image of the innocent, family-oriented bands of the ’50s. Nirvana takes on two different personas during the video. The first one is the well-dressed, clean-cut boys. The second persona is the crazed, wild, destructive band as they prance around in dresses destroying their equipment.
