Neil Cicierega - Bills Like Jean Spirit

Get the album here:

[revolutionarylass]

POV: You're at Coachella 2025 and they accidentally turn the Nirvana hologram and the Michael Jackson on at the same time

[SailorMaxie]

-Nirvana was on DGC Records
-DGC was founded by David Geffen
-David Geffen co-founded DreamWorks SKG
-DreamWorks SKG made Shrek

It warms my heart that everything with Neil goes back to Shrek in some way

[FabSunrises]

this goes SO well tho. like the raw, loose style of Kurt's vocals with the precise, heavily orchestrated Jackson beat is just mmmm mama mia pizzaria.

[EmmieHunny]

“A denial” is the entire premise of Billie Jean so even the lyrics fit

[LiquidClara]

Based on how much Kurt loved to butcher Teen Spirit live, he would have loved this.

[Hemaglox]

This song is crazy because it makes me think about Kurt Cobain walking around the city from the Billie Jean music video while MJ performs at the high school pep rally from the Smells Like Teen Spirit music video

[chek]

Ngl, the two "guitar solos" from these two songs sound godly together

[SpamNapkin]

This is based off an old mashup of the same songs, but in the original mashup, it's the vocal track of Billie Jean played over the instrumental to Smells Like Teen Spirit. Neil just took it and did it ass backwards. That's kinda genius. 

[liahansen]

I just noticed

"Dave Matthews and his Band"

"Huey Lewis and his News"

[svinjamaria]

I can only imagine Kurt Cobain moonwalking to this

[TheSonOfRyan]

this is A D V A N C E D S H I T P O S T I N G

[mcsmartass]

this genuinely has a very interesting chord progression and if someone were to take this and play it with an actual live band it would sound glorious no doubt

[coconut]

Something about the chorus and Kurt screaming to a clean guitar cracks me up everytime.

[doubleking]

Remember: in an alternate universe, this is Neil’s original composition.

[outsideofadream]

You get the raw intensity of Kurt's vocals and rhythm guitar AND the forward momentum of MJ's bass and drumlines. Remarkable.

[BATTIS]

Oh god, the chord progression really works. I would love to hear an actual cover of smells like teen spirit over the chord progressions from billie jean.

[ghostlamp]

this is a clever name, but what about smells like tee-heen spirit?

[frostbitethebat]

Neil is wholeheartedly why I believe that music and audio are the most powerful form of memes and shitposting and I deeply regret not getting into music as an art media alongside drawing because I'd absolutely love doing stupid shit like this

My inspiration is Neil Cicierega yes I am not mentally stable

His power is to be looked upon
It should not be underestimated

[fockingreat]

Honestly a lot of the songs used in Mouthology kind of feel empty by themselves when I listen to them now.

These mixups have ruined me but I'm really not complaining

[lordmoflombi]

0:51 the Billy Jean back vocals scared the hell out of me.
