"I Hate Myself and Want to Die" is a song by the American rock band, Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. It appears on the compilation, The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience, released in November of 1993. The song was also sanctioned to be released as a b-side to the band's "Pennyroyal Tea" single, but the single's original release was cancelled after Cobain's death in April 1994. In April 2014, it was released, featuring "I Hate Myself and Want to Die," on limited edition 7 inch vinyl for Record Store Day, and charted at number 1 on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart.[1][2][3][4]

History and recording

"I Hate Myself and Want to Die" was first recorded in the studio in January 1993, when a demo version was recorded by Craig Montgomery at BMG Ariola Ltda in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The final version was recorded by Steve Albini at Pachyderm Studios on February 15, 1993, during the recording session for the band's third and final album, In Utero. [5] Originally titled "2 Bass Kid" [6], the song was represented by a fish symbol on the tape box for the album. [7]

It missed inclusion on the album, which was released in September 1993, with Cobain later explaining that there were too many "noise" songs on the album. [8] The song instead appeared as the opening track on the compilation album, The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience, released in November 1993. The band was given $60,000 by its record label, Geffen Records, for the song. [9] The Beavis and Butt-head Experience compilation album has since been certified 2x Platinum in the US.[10]

The song was set to be released as a b-side to the "Pennyroyal Tea" single in April 1994, but the single was recalled following Cobain's death that month, possibly because of the song's title.[11] The single was finally released in April 2014, as part of Record Store Day.[12]

I Hate Myself and Want to Die was also a working title for In Utero. [13][14] According to Tom Mallon of Rolling Stone, Cobain abandoned the title due to fear that the dark humor of the title would be lost on some critics and fans, [15] and after being convinced by Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic that the band might end up with lawsuits if Cobain stuck with the original title. [16] Cobain changed the album's title to Verse Chorus Verse, and then two weeks later to its final title of In Utero. In an October 1993 [17] interview with David Fricke of Rolling Stone, Cobain explained that he meant the title "as literally as a joke can be," calling it "funny" and claiming it was a reference to the public perception of him "as this pissy, complaining, freaked–out schizophrenic who wants to kill himself all the time."[18]

Composition and lyrics

Despite the song's title, the lyrics of "I Hate Myself and Want to Die" contain no obvious reference to suicide. In The Rough Guide to Nirvana, Gillian G. Gaar called it an "upbeat, friendly thrash-along" with "nonsense lyrics" whose title lacked a connection with its music.[7]

The song's interlude features Cobain quoting a "Deep Thought" by American comedian, Jack Handey.[19]

Reception

In Take a Walk on the Dark Side: Rock and Roll Myths, Legends, and Curses, R. Gary Patterson compared the song to John Lennon{{'s}} "Yer Blues" as "an attempt to explain [Cobain's] introspection."[20] In 2015, Rolling Stone put the song at number 44 on a ranked list of 102 Nirvana songs, calling it "a lurching piece of infectious sludge-pop." [15]

Cobain himself was dismissive of the song, calling it "boring" and saying that the band "could write that song in our sleep." [21] Craig Montgomery, however, who recorded the demo version at BMG Ariola Ltda in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was impressed with the song, praising its riff and rhythm and saying he thought it could have been a hit. [22]

The song is referenced by American indie rock musician Cat Power in the song "Hate," from her 2006 album, The Greatest.[23]

Covers

The Blackout released a parody of the song, titled "I Love Myself and I Want to Live," in 2009.[24] Baton Rouge sludge band Thou released a cover of this song on their EP "The Sacrifice".[25]
