According to Billboard, The Flying Pickets' a cappella cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was the group's biggest chart success, reaching number 1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1987. The haunting harmonies and unconventional use of vocal percussion brought a new dimension to the iconic Nirvana song, paving the way for future a cappella arrangements of alternative rock hits. This cover also helped introduce a cappella music to a wider audience and solidified The Flying Pickets as trailblazers in the genre.
