How to Make Any Song as Good as "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Take most rockish songs from the twenty-first century. The levels on these songs generally stay the same throughout, so you, the listener, must make the remix. Fortunately, all you need is a volume knob. Then follow these simple steps.

1) Let the intro play one or two times at the normal (quiet) volume.
2) CRANK THAT SHIT UP!
3) Let the verses play at normal volume.
4) Crank the choruses UP!
5) Obey these rules, religiously. Make an exception if the last twenty seconds of the song isn't a "chorus" per se. If it isn't, crank it up anyway.
6) After the song is over, shout "A Denial" about a dozen times at the top of your lungs.

Even if this doesn't leave you as pumped as you would have been if you'd just listened to "Smells Like Teen Spirit," you should still feel pretty pumped. If you don't, just listen to "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Bonus: Applying the volume trick to "Teen Spirit" itself. Be sure to wear protective gear.
