Smells Like Teen Spirit: Rick Astley, Nirvana Remix—Love it or Hate It?

ABOVE: Pop and grunge unite in one of the strangest mash-ups in recent memory. Love it? Hate it? Hope you never hear it again? Hear more of DJ Morgoth’s strange mash-ups, below.

Blame Germany for this latest musical horror, as DJ Morgoth got the warped idea to mash together Rick Astley’s cheeseball 1987 dance hit, “Never Gonna Give You Up,” with Nirvana’s 1991 grunge smash, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

The combination actually works surprisingly well, and it just might get stuck in your head, whether you like it or not.

Thankfully, this video hasn’t turned into another “rickrolling” plague like the one that invaded the web a while back…but it might.

Among Morgoth’s other twisted musical concoctions are a mix of the Prodigy’s “Firestarter” and Judas Priest’s “You Got Another Thing Coming”, and a cheerful reworking of Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades” mixed up with the Gorillaz.
