Unpopular opinion- Seasons In The Sun by Terry Jacks isn't that bad. Yeah it's not a good song but I feel like so much of the reason why is because Jacks is just not a good singer. Thank god Nirvana covered it like 19 years later, they absolutely killed it and their cover of it is insanely underrated and one of the very few covers I legit think is better in almost every way. They actually bring that song the dirge it needs to work.
Honestly, compared to other stuff that year alone like "(You're Having) My Baby", "The Streak", and "Hooked On A Feeling", I honestly think it's pretty tame. Not great but not bottom 10 material or worst songs of all time material. Yeah the song is corny and Jacks is a bad singer but hey, at least it's not ridiculously chauvinistic or constantly shouting "OOGA CHAKA!" at you for no reason.

I always found it curious that this was one of Kurt's favourite songs, and I had never heard the Nirvana cover before, so I decided to give it a listen. I think you and Kurt definitely got something out of it that I didn't, and that seems clear through Kurt switching around the lyrics for his cover. I still don't really think it's great coming from Kurt; the lyrics just seem trite to me no matter how you slice them. But it's at least more interesting than the original.
Also, I will first stick up for the original song from which the melody for "Seasons" comes, every time.
