HAIM just delivered the mash-up everyone’s been clamouring for.
This week, the trio appeared on BBC Radio 1’s “Live Lounge” and performed a cover of Lil Nas X’s hit “Panini” mashed together with Nirvana’s classic “In Bloom”.

The pairing was chosen deliberately, since as some fans have noted, Lil Nas X’s song accidentally cribbed the vocal melody from the Nirvana track.
Earlier this year, Lil Nas X addressed the similarities between the songs, admitted that he had actually never heard the Nirvana song or their album Nevermind before.
“It’s like I always seen the [Nevermind] cover but I never actually listened to it,” he explained to Zane Lowe on Apple Beats 1. “And people was like, ‘Wow, he sampled Nirvana.’ I was like, ‘No.’ It’s like, I didn’t realize I was using almost the exact same melody.”

Lil Nas X did make sure that Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain is credited as a co-writer on “Panini” thanks to that melody.
