"Exhausted" is a song by the American rock band Foo Fighters, released as a promotional single from their self-titled debut album on January 8, 1995 to Self-Pollution Radio, a radio station created by Eddie Vedder.[1]

"Exhausted" was one of the demos Dave Grohl showed to Kurt Cobain to see if he wanted to record any for a Nirvana album. Cobain never told Grohl that he liked the song a lot, with Grohl only learning about Cobain's liking to the track after Cobain died from Pat Smear.[2][3] Cobain did not want to ask Grohl if he could write new lyrics or rerecord his vocals.[3] Grohl and Cobain recorded the song between January 28–29 1994.[4] Although according to Gaar, Cobain was not present at the time Grohl recorded this song which would later appears on the Foo Fighters debut album.[5]
