On this day in 1991, Nirvana performed their hit song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on the BBC  program Top Of The Pops.  The show routinely featured big name acts lip-synching to their hits, but as you would expect, Kurt Cobain was not interested in miming along to a pre-recorded backing track. Instead, Kurt polished up his crooning skills and delivered an amazingly entertaining performance. Top Of The Pops producers were annoyed by the version and asked Nirvana to re-record it, but the band declined and the hysterical version ended up airing. The performance was included on the Nirvana collection Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! and was later named the third best live TOTP performance in history by The Guardian.
