Hey, years ago I read just about anything about Nirvana I could get my hands on, so at some point I'd read about this. From what I remember, it was Chris (who definitely has a very distinctive voice), not Dave singing that and from what I read (I'm not sure about this part), Kurt always loved Chris' voice and was always trying to get him to sing and so he said something like "You sing the intro, Chris. Just sing whatever" and he just went into that song. Chris said that he always liked that song and he didn't sing it sarcastically or anything. That's just from what I remember of what I read (probably 8-10 years ago)

Butch, do you recall how it really went down?
