Rape Me lounge act by Richard Cheese (Cobain is smiling)

Somebody had to do it. Velvet Revolver begged off immediately and The Rolling Stones are just too old. So doing a cover of Nirvana’s “Rape Me” as a lounge act is none other than Richard Cheese.

Richard Cheese? Who the heck… I’m kind of repulsed enough by the song (having listened to it 3 times) that I can’t bring myself to Google him for a bio.

The song is from Cheese’s album Lounge Against the Machine, a title I found to be amusing.

He begins the song by announcing “This one’s for the ladies.”

It also gets funny when he sings lines like:

“My favorite inside sores/I’ll kiss your open sores”

over jazzy keyboard riffs.

Kurt was a poet a bit like Edgar Allen Poe. I miss the tragic genius of his music.
