Apparently, following the release of Nirvana's "Nevermind" in 1991, Kurt Cobain tried his hand at some children's show tunes. Most notably, Ren & Stimpy. If there's anyone that doesn't remember, the animated show is about a chihuahua who took way too much acid, and a cat that was apparently born with down syndrome.Billy West, who provided the voice for Stimpy on the show, explains the situation:
"One day this scraggly kid came into the Spumco offices where the series was made and said he wanted to write a song for Ren & Stimpy, and they said, 'Yeah, that's great,' and they threw it in the waste basket, and it was Kurt Cobain."
As everyone knows, Kurt died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head at the ripe age of 27.
