Nirvana In Utero ALTERNATE ALBUM TITLE & Courtney Loves Influence

Kurt Cobain originally wanted to call Nirvana's third studio album I Hate Myself and I Want to Die. However, bandmates encouraged him to reconsider changing the title to something less likely to get the band sued. So Kurt borrowed the "motherly" phrase In Utero from a poem written by his wife Courtney Love. Nevermind the irony of "borrowing" a title from a person like Courtney Love in order to *not* get sued, but anyway...

In regards to the morbidly depressing original title, Kurt described it as self-deprecating humor when he spoke with Rolling Stone in a 1994 interview:

“As literal as a joke can be. Nothing more than a joke. And that had a bit to do with why we decided to take it off. We knew people wouldn’t get it; they’d take it too seriously. It was totally satirical, making fun of ourselves. I’m thought of as this pissy, complaining, freaked–out schizophrenic who wants to **** himself all the time... And I thought it was a funny title. I wanted it to be the title of the album for a long time. But I knew the majority of the people wouldn’t understand it... That pretty much defines our band. It’s both those contradictions. It’s satirical, and it’s serious at the same time.” - Cobain, Success Doesn't Suck, David Fricke, Rolling Stone (Jan 27, 1994)
