Nirvana vs. Lady Gaga
NO MORE NIRGAGA. EMI’s lawyers want me to pull it so I gotta pull it.

Truly inspired.
Great Mash,
The beats go together well, although, Cobain is turning in his grave everytime this is played.
Part of me says I should hate this song with every inch of my being, but I can’t stop listening to it!
do you hink Cobain (despite hits gate of Gaga-esque corporatized music)would be enough of an artist to appreciate the juxtaposition of the ideas represented by these songs?
Or that that he could deny how freakin catchy this is?
grrrr *hate
not “gate”
I love them both so much.
This makes me happy.
Dude, i can’t believe that actually goes together! great job blending them!
You’ve got some amazing mash ups. Keep em coming!
omg………. I think I just threw up.
P.S. actually i love “smells like teen spirt”
i’ve been playing this out for about a month and EVERY time i drop it people LOVE it. I’ve had a few folks come in and request “that nirvana remix!”
That is until New Years Eve.
MOST of the crowd was enjoying themselves, but then suddenly i got a middle finger response from 3 folks right in front. Who just stood there flipping me off, and the one girl yells, “THis is horrible!”
But generally people love it. I hate gaga, love nirvana, but it works so well that after the intro i just accept it as a remix and forget about Lady Gaga all together.
And seriously, i’ve never found a better remix or mash up of Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Eh, Kurt may not have likes corperate music so to speak, but he might have liked this song. Haha. Who knows? No one will.
Smell Like Poker Face??
Great mashup… I love it!!
Enthusistic iconoclast that he appears to have been, I suspect that Mister Cobain would just as likely be amused by demolishing his heroic punk crock fame and a pop tart song all at once, as spinning in his grave.
This brightened my day, thanks.
I enjoy both artists and LOVE this mash-up! Thanks for doing it

Genius! It has melodical candy absent in the original “teen spirit”. The harmony in the chorus! Man
[…] is one of the best mashups I’ve heard in a longtime. […]
strange but really fab.
OMG, I CAN’T STOP LISTENING TO IT ANYMORE .
P.S : My 2 favourite artists are Nirvana & Lady gaga. I know i’m weird but i can die for both of them.
My 1991 self is horrified and wants to punch the 2010 me in the face for being highly amused by this.
I am terrified that when I send this to my kid (who likes Lady Gaga) she’s not going to recognize the Nirvana song, and then I will have to jump off a bridge.
Awesome mashup though.
[…] Cobain Still Alive? Doubt it, but here is NIRGAGA. It is a mashup between Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and Lady Gaga’s […]
I don’t know what to say about this…
f*ucking speechless!
Hello!
DJ lobsterdust
I’m from Brazil and I heard the Nirvagaga video on youtube, I congratulate you
The music was very good!
Congratulations.
Love(d) the mash up! Too bad EMI can’t see it as a tribute to Nirvana’s work. Hell-it might even inspire a few more sales!!! Keep up the great work DJL!
EMI Entertainment World, Inc. (’EMI”) is a pain in the ass… they have taken “the law” and used it to muffle the creativity of what I call really good ART you don’t see(Title 17 U.S. Code, Section 106(a) of the Copyright Act of 1976, and other international copyright laws) being used to stifle or hinder All other creative forms of art that use pieces of “copyright material” they are ruining this great avenue of creativity!
You win some, you lose some… and you got it out there for awhile so it’ll NEVER DIE. Did they go swinging at other mixes with Nirvana samples?
Damn. Lucky I grabbed it before the take-down. I did throw together a companion mash-up video for this track….not sure how long it will remain live for!

I would hate for the popularity of the great Lobsterdust to be his downfall!

And then record companies wonder why people use torrent sites!!!!!!
EMI suck big donkeys cocks!
Don’t worry Simon Cowell has got a new band from X-idol factor-dancing-on-ice that we can all go out and buy!

Feed this (with quotes):
“E dato che si parla di accoppiamenti un”
to your favorite search engine and your forbidden-mashup-dreams may come true.
I like Italy
This is no ad!
You’re a genius…I’m glad I got this B4 its demise due to EMI being butt hurt.

Excellent mix - shame EMI have spoilt the fun. Whilst some of the youtube vids have had the audio stripped off them too there are some that haven’t, like this version that mixes the two music videos as well

ah.. i missed it..
lobsterdust I gotta say man!!! fanfukintastic work..There’s a few people that are able to pull of quality mashups but in my eyes mate… Number 1.
With regards to Egotistical Moronic Idiots cease and decist letter they really dont have any brains from what I can see. I mean I still got my old nirvana ticket for brixton academy the one just before he shot himself. but getting back on point here, dont they realise that there are plenty of nirvana lovers and just hearing the track just makes me want to get the whole backlog of nirvana tracks. but I swear if they keep up with this crap I’m boycotting purchasing any more emi tracks from the store, I’ll use another source of music.
okay here’s an update just for all you dj lobsterdust lovers of this track… so heres a big fu emi

DJ Lobsterdust, you know that you could fight back against the C&D from EMI…it’s called FAIR USE and it’s covered in the DMCA. Use their own legislation against them.
Contact the EFF (eff.org) and I am sure they’ll get you started down the right path.
Later.
J
Real genius on this one. Keep up the good work. Oh yeah, EMI can go EFF themselves. Wake up! It’s the 21st century. Fair Use rules.
Anybody who wants to get the MP3 can search for it on Filestube or any number of file-sharing search engines.
I think this is fucking awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont know what to say, erm speechless…think its back on youtube though…
This is fantastic,love it!!
Great thanks for sharing, will be checking this out on youtube!

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I will be coming back often for more great mash-ups!
