"Dumb" is a song by American rock band Nirvana. It is the sixth song on the band's third studio album ''In Utero'', released in 1993. ==Composition and critical reception== Kurt Cobain wrote "Dumb" in the summer of 1990 after he had begun to follow some of his own poppier instincts.〔Crisafulli. pp. 93.〕 Cobain debuted the song on September 25, 1990, when he performed a solo acoustic version on the ''Boy Meets Girl'' show on KAOS (FM) in Olympia, Washington.〔〔St. Thomas. pp. 66.〕〔Gillian G. Gaar. ''The Rough Guide to Nirvana''. Penguin, 1993.〕 The first live version featuring the full band was at the Off Ramp Café in Seattle, Washington on November 25, 1990.〔 The song was first officially released in September, 1993 on the band's third and final studio album, ''In Utero''. The album was recorded by Steve Albini at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota in February, 1993, and features Kera Schaley on cello on "Dumb" and "All Apologies." Cobain cited both as examples of the type of song he wished he had put on previous Nirvana albums, and explained that the use of the word "happy" in "Dumb" was "a nice twist" on the negative stuff that they had done before.〔St. Thomas. pp. 169.〕 Michael Azerrad in his ''Story of Nirvana'' described the song as "Beatlesque".〔Azerrad. pp. 321.〕 Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic called it "a beautiful song. That's a really good one. I like the BBC version of the song. It's real raw, but still the beauty is strong. A sweet pop song." 〔Gaar, Gillian G. ''In Utero''.
