Courtney Love Ruins Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box” For Everyone, For All Time


Courtney Love is at it again (and by “it” I of course mean BLOWING YOUR FUCKING MIND WITH HER BATSHIT CLOWNSHOES UNDERPANTS ON THE HEAD CRAZY). But this time around, her usual incoherent insanity-spouting has taken a sinister, spirit-crushing turn.

ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO READ BELOW THIS SENTENCE.

NO, SERIOUSLY. I’M NOT KIDDING. ABANDON HOPE TIMEZ NAO.

On teh twittah yesterday, Love gave Lana Del Rey—who has been covering Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box” for whole swaths of the population who possess fixed gear bicycles and chunky, black-framed eyeglasses, along with stray alley cats in heat everywhere (see video below)—an earful of her own about the origins of Kurt Cobain’s lyrics for the song, thereby providing yet another reason for all of us to actively try to NOT pay attention to anything she says, ever:

ARRRGH! THINGS YOU CAN’T UNKNOW!1!!!!!!

Not cool, Courtney. SO. NOT. COOL.

Though, I suppose Del Rey deserved it for this abomination:

Anyone else kind of wondering what “Radio Friendly Unit Shifter” might really be about now? No? Just me? Huh.

    Heh. My friend has a heart shaped box tattoo on her shoulder. Court’s vagina on her shoulder, she’ll never live this down.

    While squicked about Courtney’s vag, Lana Del Ray so deserves it for that. She sounds like she is trying to do a Kurt imitation, while wearing shabooties, and IT. IS. SO. WRONG.

      “shabooties” cracks me up. I’m thumbing you up for “shabooties” alone. :)

    I mean, OF COURSE that’s what a heart shaped box is I guess, but BLEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH.

    As I said to Tracey in email this morning, I would rather have Courtney Love’s vagina photo bomb my wedding than hear that Lana del Ray cover again.

    Okay, this Lena person is an entertainer? She really needs to get a new job. Torturing Nirvana songs gets her zero points in anyone’s book.

    There needs to be some kind of Universal Law preventing anyone ever of covering a Nirvana song. It just never works. EVAH.
