Nirvana covered ‘Molly’s Lips’ and ‘Son of a Gun’

After Nirvana covered “Molly’s Lips” and “Son of a Gun”, both of which were released on their compilation album Incesticide (1992), and “Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam” (retitled “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam”) for their live special MTV Unplugged in New York (1994), the Vaselines gained a new audience. “I’ve never made any money apart from my Nirvana royalties,” Kelly noted. “It was my tiny bit of rock history, but a strange feeling because by then I was striving for recognition with other bands . I still haven’t come to terms with it, although it allowed me to go on playing, and get a mortgage without having a job.”
