Cobain couldn't handle his own fame. Wah wah wah. Cry me a fuckin river. Give me fame fortune and world travel. Credit me for starting a music style that was around when I was still in high school. No on second thought, don't. I wouldn't want it. He did. He got what he wanted. Cobain was a loser, and he did what losers should do. He put a shotgun in his mouth.
Bowie is a far superior musician, at the beginning of the nirvana video cobain even says "I garuntee I screw this song up". Bowies version FTW
there's practically no difference between the two versions (at least on the surface; i haven't done a thorough analysis of both songs and i won't). cobain sounded slightly less faggy singing his version, but considering it wasn't really his version and he was just straight up singing bowie's song, bowie has to get the credit for it.
