"Sappy" is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. It was first released as a hidden track on the AIDS-benefit compilation album, No Alternative, in October 1993.
The song was released under the title "Verse Chorus Verse", but since this title is shared by another, abandoned Nirvana song, it is now referred to by its earlier title of "Sappy". The same version that appeared on No Alternative was re-released as "Sappy" on the Nirvana rarities box set, With the Lights Out, in November, 2004, with a note that it had been "retitled 'Verse Chorus Verse' for release" on the track list. A remixed version of the same recording appeared simply as "Sappy" on the 20th anniversary re-issue of In Utero, the album for which it was recorded, in September 2013. Earlier versions of the song have also been released under the title of "Sappy".
