As Music Steve and his gang of naked female friends revealed in what appears to be the latest piece of viral Guitar Hero 5 marketing, Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is finally coming to the GH franchise, bringing along with it Queen & David Bowie’s “Under Pressure,” Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing,” the Raconteurs’ “Steady As She Goes” and 11 more tracks to round out the massive and eclectic GH5 on-disc 85-song track list.

Rolling Stone can confirm that also joining the party are Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire,” Megadeth’s “Sweating Bullets,” Blink-182’s “The Rock Show” and TV on the Radio’s “Wolf Like Me.” But the real coup here is “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” which will join a live version of Nirvana’s “Lithium” in making their music video game debuts.
