Polly is about real incident that occurred in June of 1987 when a 14 year old girl was abducted while returning home from a punk rock concert in Tacoma, Washington. The abductor was Gerald Friend who offered the girl a ride after the show, Instead of getting the girl home safe, Gerald Friend repeatedly raped and tortured her. Fortunately, the girl could escape by jumping off his truck when they stopped at a gas station. Gerald Friend was stopped by the police a couple of days later for a traffic violation. The deputies recognized him and Friend was arrested. In August 1987 he was sentenced to 75 years in prison including 55 years from his last case in 1960, fortunately Friend is 82 and will stay in a jail cell for the remainder of his life.
Poor Polly. The gif is a good representation for the song. To go through such at 14, you ll never forget it and it will affect you for the rest of your life, one way or another.
@@lily-so1uk Kurt Cobain wrote this song in response to something he read in the newspaper in June 1987. A 14-year-old girl went missing after going to a rock concert. She had accepted a ride home from a 49-year-old man called Gerald Friend. Instead of getting the girl home safe, Gerald Friend repeatedly raped and tortured her. Fortunately, the girl could escape by jumping of his truck when they stopped at a gasstation. Gerald Friend was stopped by the police a couple of days later for a traffic violation. The deputies recognised him and Friend was arrested. In August 1987, about 30 years ago, Gerald Friend was convicted of first-degree kidnapping and rape.Many deputies still can’t believe why Gerald Friend was a free man at the time. He had been convicted of rape and torture in 1960 and was sentenced to 75 years in prison. However, after serving 20 years and escaping twice, he got out on parole.
Kurt just wanted more people to know that the shit that happens is real and even now no one takes shit for real we need somone who's still alive to stand up n speak the truth
I love this song, even though it has a dark meaning but that's what makes it polly. Nirvana has been such a huge part of my life so I just wanna thank you for making this. ❤️
polly apparently died in the 90’s due to being strangled after being held at knife point after a slumber party at her moms. Girl could not catch a break RIP.

Idk why but I feel like when I listen to this song everything around me just stops,time,emotions etc, I feel blank when I listen to this song like im all alone on this world.
Everytime I look at the repeating gif while listening to this song I can't help but cringe, already such a powerful song with the addition of this particular gif coveys the message and perfectly defines the disgusting, haunting and horrible deeds done to Polly. Just off that I applaud you sir, keep up the great content
гитарист кабуу часто использовал такой трек в своих видео, жалко паренька, умер так и не добившись цели) ну и п0ху, главное жить дальше. Версия хорошая, удачи
Who ever knows the backstory of this song earns my respect
The backstory goes really well with the gif they put actually
Really fucking sad thats for sure
Polly Hannah look it up
Polly it’s about a kidnapping from the eyes of the man who trapped her.
Is pretty fucked up

@@lily-so1uk Idk though to be honest. After all anything can be possible, maybe you're right, maybe I'm wrong, or maybe not.
The slowed down version of the song and the visuals on screen just shows you how dark the actual song was.
So true...
The visuals are from a movie called wicked city
fox kķķķkkķķkkknķn6kkķ
This is so beautiful but so extremely horrible and terrific at the same time
A very disturbing visual for this song, my god...
The song lyric meanings are disturbing if you think of them for more than 3 seconds, because they are based off of a disturbing true story
@@Blablablablabla392 Oh yeah I know, hence my comment.
Foxium-90 honestly
It's from a very messed up movie called wicked city
@@theoddfox6306 Ohhh I've heard of that! Haven't seen the full thing but any bits I have... yeah.
The chained hands and the meaning of the song definitely line up......

If the song wasn’t already dark emoticon , the accompanying image is too relevant.
Is it an anime?
My parents ask my why I dont go out, I'm 14 and the meaning of this song is a good reason
You dont go out because of covid lol

Is this true?
how do you know
That’s a different Polly in a different situation
Yeah that’s Polly Klass, not the same girl Nirvana sings about
@@projectdriven4493 was the girl Kurt sings about even named Polly? I always thought it was just a metaphor to compare her to a caged bird
this song is dark already, this made it darker
Jesus the video is chilling if you know what the song’s about
Polly

That's true
Yes, the floor is made of floor.
FLOOR GANG

Oh shit this is so good.I need jesus.
The song is more sad when played in slowmotion... :( r.i.p. Kurt Cobain... i will always miss that man, although i never knew him in real life
Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off her first
Think she wants some water
To put out the blowtorch
Isn’t me
Have a seed
Lemme clip
Your dirty wings
Lemme take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
To please myself
Got some rope
Haven’t told
Promise you
Have been true
Lemme take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
To please myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She asked me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
Isn’t me
Have a seed

the song becomes darker when you understand the hidden meaning of the lyrics
there is something so somber about this song slowed down, brings its story out for some reason
The original "Rape me" song...
dude chills from the first second.. goddamn it

If anyone was wondering, this gif is from the movie Wicked City
i originally liked this song because of the guitar before i realized what it was about
kinda fucked up but a great song
Haunting, yet addicting...
Beautiful chorégraphy
Reminder for sure
Como rockea esta versión !!
Hauntingly beautiful. You've just earned yourself a new subscriber. xx 🖤
a blunt, a bunch of xanax and this
This would be legendary if his voice was at the original pitch imo
That gif makes the story behind this song all the more disturbing!! Well done!!
This song and a Million Men by Melanie Martinez are two of the darkest songs I know
Very dark. But I like it 👹👍
Very pervy animation
this is dark
Amazin’!!
Bad vibes men 🇧🇷

Gif = 😞
oh this gif...
This songs backstory is so disturbing yet like “Rape me “ the song was so needed ,Kurt was ahead of his time .
video on topic
The gif reminds me of a European Rape Me bootleg long sleeve out there with a drawn depiction of Polly when she was tied to a pole :0
This song isn't work for me this way. But still great effort
That’s just how it be sometimes
doomer's happy go-to song
Poor polly, yes. Poor tenthousands of children everyday.
dude the image, i kn ow where that is and i hate myself
If it was his normal voice slowed a bit but not deep and the slowed background, it would be perfect
🤧
Where's the 1 second gif from
A Table evangelion
Name of show?
wow, I thought this was abt a parrot
The image is way too relevant its like a bit insensitive
that's what i thought too
yeah it was the worst scene in a movie called wicked city
Yeah
this sounds like beck
Rocky Electric howwww? 😭😭
please soemone help me, i cant defeat it, its going to take me again there's nothing i can do

The gif is needlessly fetishized lmao the song is abt rape not hot bdsm in action
ya well the reall girl i assume was kept in chains or something so thats why i chose the gif
All these thoughts are t even mine. Brainwashing process has been completed.
This video is disturbing
Wey Noooo 😭😭😭💔😞😖😔✌
You don't even speak spanish lol
Estas bien pedo wey
