Sappy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Topic: Music 3:44 am EDT, Apr  6, 2007

"Sappy" is a song by the American rock band Nirvana. It is the final, uncredited track on the 1993 AIDS-benefit compilation album No Alternative.

This is my favorite Nirvana song. I just realised tonight that I have absolutely no idea how I know it. I thought it was on Bleach. In fact, every time I listen to the Nirvana stuff on my iPod I kick myself for not having Bleach, in particular because I want to hear this song. It somehow perfectly captures what Nirvana really is about, the smothering hell of patriarchal suburbia that as I young man I some how simultaneously wanted and wanted to escape and wanted to see others escape. This song isn't on Bleach. I'm going to take my copy of Bleach to work tomorrow and listen to it and make sure that I don't somehow have some fucked up copy that includes this song, but its not supposed to be on that album. How the hell do I know this song? I don't have a copy of No Alternative. Never did. Furthermore, my recollection of this song is not mixed out the way that the stuff on In Utero is mixed out. In fact, I'd really like to hear this song mixed out that way. I recall the recording being fairly flat. But definately in a studio. I have a bootleg copy but its not right. Whack!

This is evident from a recording of a February 1994 concert in Rennes, France in which the audience kept requesting the song - bassist Krist Novoselic, after performing it, shouted to the crowd, "Did you hear it on a bootleg? Because it wasn't listed on the album."
