Ethiopian Students Practice English By Singing "Smells Like Teen Spirit": Watch
"Peace Corps Volunteer Matt Westerberg uses this classic '90s anthem to help create an active and encouraging environment for kids to practice their English, a skill necessary for attaining a college education," reads the caption on our favorite new YouTube video. The students of Yechila Secondary School made the clip a birthday wish for Dave Grohl (Nirvana's drummer, little-known fact), who turns 46 on Thursday (Jan. 14).
The smiley singing close-ups are intercut with enthusiastic air drums, killer gymnastics, local scenery and hella goats. When the Yechila Secondary kids go HAM at the 1:20-mark, we dare you not to lose your shit in solidarity.
