- ?* unknown song
- Note: It's rumored that Nirvana played a song called 'Crisco', but I think that is a fake. I've talked to many people who feel the same, and no one who has any certain info about it. I have seen lyrics of it, and I really doubt that they were lyrics Kurt would write.
- "At an Amsterdam radio appearance, the production crew requested a gaggle of tunes from Nevermind. Without responding, the band played a Ledbelly cover and composed a new song on air, Cobain stopping at the beginning to say: "Wait a minute, I have to think of some words for this."
From the RS Cobain Book:
- Smells Like Teen Spirit {Goth Version} [Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!]
- Note: The band doesn't really play, Kurt just sings over the song, in a hilarious mock-gothic voice.

- ? Dave and Krist recorded 3 more songs.
- Note: You Got No Right was actually played live on Oct. 23rd 1993. Its slightly different than the song Hole did on Unplugged. Supposedly, this might be released at some point. Its been said that Dave demoed Exhausted with Kris. From someone who conversed with Earnie Bailey, Nirvana's guitar tech:
- "In January 1994 Nirvana recorded at Bob Lang's Studio in North Seattle. .... The only song he played on was "You Got No Right". .... Dave and Krist recorded 2 of Dave's songs and 1 of Krist'. ...."

(Kurt, Pat Smear, Eric from Hole)
- ?* Clean-up Before She Comes
- ?* Dough, Ray and Me (aka Me and My IV)
- ?* Man Who Sold The World (David Bowie) {doubtful}
- ?* Opinion {doubtful}
- ?* Talk to Me {doubtful}
- Note: Rumor has it that a total of 9 songs were done. The song Clean-Up Before She Comes has been released on a bootleg called Dressed For Success. I think that it was a 4-track recording from 1988. This song could have been re-recorded during March 1994.
- 'dough ray me is the last song Kurt wrote, mostly in the basement w/ Pat S and Eric- Also "got no right" I found a buncha lyrics on a napkin on the TV- also dr and me was called "Me and My IV" on the napkin.'
I do remember reading that Kurt had been quite depressed after In Utero because he was all written out (no new songs). Maybe that was a factor in his suicide - I don't know. If so, then it makes sense that some old, unreleased songs were re-recorded for the March 1994 sessions. There was a plan to release an EP with some songs from that session with some of the Unplugged songs when Nirvana went on tour with Lollapalooza. That EP, was, of course scrapped.
According to CL on the HSB Mailing list:
- ??? {Only Kurt}
- Note: Michael Stipe and Kurt were never able to record together. Michael Stipe did mention that Kurt had put together some demos for Michael.
