The Surprise success The surprise failure The guys that did as expected One average to below average band One sports star 10 to 20 percent join military And another 20 percent will be married a year from now That is what you should expect
Love how at the beginning they play “1985”, one of the best songs to come out of the early 2000s pop punk scene, and the lady just says “Don’t quit your day jobs, boys”
You should hear how they got started. They were in marching band in school and the teacher was the one to help them get equipment and shit. It’s such a good story!!! Love b4s. I’ve known the singer for a while.
@@joshuabrooks4907 glad these guys "quit" their day jobs. A day job is a remedial minimum wage-type job that someone has to get enough money to survive. The term, " 'Don't' quit your day job " refers to someone not being good at something creative. Such as for example, if they're not good at comprising/writing music and they want to be a musician, the other person, the critic tells them, "Don't quit your day job." Or if man A isn't comedic, he's terribly unfunny and he wants to be a comedian, the critic tells him, "Don't quit your day job." It's a good thing they quit their day jobs because that shit would just hold them back as it would hold anyone back. Throughout history people in the world are told they need a college degree to succeed, that the school system is there to help them in that. To a degree college can help, if you want to learn a trade in what you're pursuing or if you take classes in trade school for a very specific trade related to a job. But everything else, forget it. Steve Jobs developed the Apple computers and the ipod, Bill Gates invented Microsoft and neither of them took school, they just came up with a product and went for it. The school system, day jobs, etc, that's the American system/society telling you what it takes to be smart and succeed. And anyone familiar with American society knows full well they're neither. The American norm only holds the 5 to 10 percent "actually not imbeciles with a single digit IQ" back keeping them on the American norms level.
@@joshuabrooks4907So am I!!! I rediscovered their music about 5 years ago before the death of my grandmother and they are still fantastic awesome!!! Oh they do USO shows for the awesome men and women who keep us safe.
I remember first hearing this song in high school and it felt like a punch to the gut. It was very clear that just because I graduate doesn't mean that high school drama goes away. It just becomes college drama and then work place politics.
@@trinitylivingston1286 A lot of the high school drama mentality continues to exist throughout our adulthoods (particularly between the early years of adulthood in our 20s-30s) in professional because many of those with positions of authority over us in our society often enable and encourage it, even if their intentions are non-malicious. You notice this the most when starting out in a new career or job with a staff comprised mostly of other entry level coworkers and just a few people with experience and knowledge way above you, (usually most of us in the entry level positions are going to be between the mid 20s-to 30s since that’s the period of life when we’re trying to find ways to settle down in the long run). I noticed that most of the tension comes between me (an entry level employee) and and at least one of my other entry level coworker peers working in the same environment. It’s shitty we’re being thrust into an environment where some ass-kissing of the main manager to get ahead is encouraged. Those in senior positions aren’t going to worry about tattling on those under them as much because they’ve gotten past entry level positions.
at first this song made me depressed realizing im getting old, then i understood the lyrics and started feeling good knowing im just a better version of me as a child
That's still my favorite lyric of the song after all these years. I had no idea what it meant back in the day but now I always giggle when I hear it. 😂😂😂😂
It's NOT completely a lie. It really does depend on the situation. In some cases, life after high school DOES get a little better. For some, high school is the best thing that ever happened to them. I say it's best to focus on your life.
@@h.walker1332 Only if you let it. People act like just because their life sucked before it always will. Make changes, you're in control. It may seem like you arent but it all depends how much you're willing to sacrifice to change your life
I'm about to graduate High school in a week, and damn I wish I did this song for the Talent Show because it is super true. While no one picked on me, I never really had many friends. I was always the guy that just sat back, watched, and listened as everyone lived their own Soap Opera lives and talked about it nonstop to everyone around them.
Honestly that was me in HS and like 1/3 to 1/2 of all the other kids. We were all just nobodies drifting through the bland halls occasionally making friends in our classes but we only had 1/2 semesters so likely you wouldn’t have time to make long lasting friends, and if you did make friends you would be unlikely to ever see them again until it was a sufficiently awkward amount of time had passed and you weren’t friends anymore
Same but tbh I was never that much of a loser in high school lmao. I think most people fall in the middle.. not insanely popular but also not super weird and odd.
This is one of my favorite Bowling for Soup songs. I was almost 14 when I first heard it in a video for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. It perfectly sums up my life right now and today's tough pop culture world.
Yep i was the reject punk kid in highschool it was all about big lifted 4x4 trucks, football and country music (i went to highschool in the sticks) i drove a beat to shit 2wd v6 pickup and always showed up blasting anthrax's madhouse
Because they actually wasn't singing but lip syncing and If you look closer to their hands on guitar and drums you'll notice that they don't know how to use it.
I graduated from high school six years ago. I graduated from college two and a half years ago. After living and working in the real world for two and a half years... I finally fully understand this song.
Noooo it doesn't most of the Jock's got their asses handed to them in life after high school. Well those that graduated in our year. Life is not a Nerdy kid you can fuck around, enjoy Jocksters....Lol
As an adult who grew up listening to this music, after the 10+ years this song is still so relevant now more than ever. The lyrics are dated, but its all true.
Playing this as I walk down the hallways has always brought me much joy. I can never stop smirking when I look at everyone. Graduation song here I come. I'm sure I can find a senior quote in here somewhere haha XD
I really want to request this song at my senior prom next month. I feel like people would get down to it! I mean who doesn’t know this song?? Even though half my generation listens to rap, we all grew up with these classic pop punk songs at some age. And hey I actually really enjoy high school so can’t relate too much to this haha
I graduated 2005. I passed my my old high school not long ago and put this song as well as other songs and took me back in time.... It felt like I was living back in time.
+eleanor vaz Yup, i know that one. Simple plan has pretty deep and accurate songs as well but sometimes they're too depressing. "No one cares, no one likes to share, i guess life's just not fair" yeah we know everything sucks. But they should try expressesing those negative feelings in a bit funny way at the same time like this song does
3:09 that's some trust in that strap! If I tried that my guitar would probably hit the floor, its duck taped to the strap but I have it hung at an ungodly low level
I am going to be a junior in high school and I can relate to this song already. High school is not what it's made up to be, in all reality high school sucks.
You missed the point. It is saying that life after high school is just the same as high school. People do not grow out of their high school mentality. Seriously it is downright pathetic. Look at those who are older than you, and you will probably be able to link their behavior to someone in your school. People don't grow up, they just become older. Especially in today's society.
That is the illusion. Most people never really live up to the mature adult mytho. Most adults are nothing more than grown kids. They are petty, vindictive, egotistical, and selfish people.
Indeed. Good luck with your high school stuff. Take bunch of maths and science (AP), and when you get into college don't major in something worthless like me. Do something with STEM.
It's 2020, I'm still listening to punk music, I am one of those kids who move schools every year and I just realized how lucky I am to not worry about class reunions when I become an adult.
"Man, you guys suck." These fellas are immortalized in one of the catchiest theme songs ever written, what have you done with your life, fictional football player?
I love that song.Was featured during Alumni Homecoming this afternoon.That's memorable event after one year hiatus amidst pandemic.Congratulations Batch HCHS Batch 1996 for their success!
Congrats! Honestly it does get better. For some people, they really don't change after high school. But now you don't have to see them if you don't want to! You can pick up and move to a different town, city or country. You can do what you want (or at least try your best to) and grow at your own pace. It's not perfect, and there isn't a guarantee that you will succeed at everything you try or do everything you want to do, but you have your shot at it. Don't waste a second of it, find out what matters to you and do it. Never look back and don't let anybody tell your your dream is worthless.
@@samuraijack5919 thank you!! I'll definitely be trying my hardest to achieve all my fiture dreams some day, and hopefully college will be nice to me 😅
This song is the first thing I realized when I skipped college and joined the workforce. Oh lord, even ladies in their freakin' 30's act like High Schoolers. High School doesn't end. They just pay you to engage with it when you're an adult.
It's incredible. I'm fucking tired of this shit. Worst part is my friend from high school who were not like this are now like this. I really feel like every day there's less people to have a fruitful conversation with.
0:22 Looks like a guy from my high school. Went back for my 20th high school reunion and all he could talk about was how he was on the football team then.
Here's the hope- in my experience atleast, after highschool, some jocks started doin drugs and didnt leave their part time job, some went to college and play college football but none of them are good or getting scholarships that i know of, and some turned gay. Some prep chicks became pretty much trailer trash, one become a porn star. (We were all basicly told by the principal when she dropped out to basicly stfu about it). Or they're gold diggers. The only ones that honestly moved on or did something with their lives were either people like me (moved out right after highschool and have a job and life i couldn't be happier with), or the ones that went straight to college (and actually get the degree) or have their own buisness of some kind. My group of friends i hung out with weren't the greatest and i was more or less a rebel and did some crazy shit with em. They're like brothers to me but they aren't in great spots in their lives.. TL;DR- dont do drugs and dont go hog wild when you get your freedom.
Find what you want in life and go for it. If you don't buy into the rat race and "keeping up with the Joneses" then you'll be much happier. But yes, the d!ks in high school still grow up to be sh!tty adults.
I Was The Loner,Loser,Outsider,Nerd,Geek,Goth,Dork,&,Freak When I Was in Middle,&,High Schools,&,Guess What,I’m Still All of Those Things,I Just Choose to Own Them Now
I think the true message of this song is in the bridge. Ye, Reese Witherspoon's the fuckin prom queen, treat celebrities like people. The idea that, once you graduate, you just end up in a much bigger version of high school is kinda comforting becaue I figured out to be happy in high school for the most part so if I can do that i can do it fro the rest of my life.
As a kid i loved this song but i didn’t really understand the meaning of the lyrics. I’m 22 now and this is the most relatable song I’ve heard in a min 😅

I swear so many Bowling for Soup songs were fuzzy childhood memories for years.
I started listening to this while suffering through high school and I am 29 now and holy shit it still hits as hard as ever.
Yea this definitely hits harder when you’re an adult.
When the world makes a more accurate song than this let me know
KingdomOfFandoms Crazy by Simple Plan ;)
+eleanor vaz Yup, i know that one. Simple plan has pretty deep and accurate songs as well but sometimes they're too depressing. "No one cares, no one likes to share, i guess life's just not fair" yeah we know everything sucks. But they should try expressesing those negative feelings in a bit funny way at the same time like this song does
YEES!!!
*"Birthday Song" by 2 Chainz
I hate my life by theory of a deadman
I just graduated high school. I've been playing this song all of high school, and wanted to play it at my graduation
I always die when the singer de-pantses the jock that de-pants’d him and it says “too small for TV” 😂
The BEST and most correct song lyrics EVER!!!! I'll watch this forever!
3:09 that's some trust in that strap!
If I tried that my guitar would probably hit the floor, its duck taped to the strap but I have it hung at an ungodly low level
Sounds like the theme song to some Disney adult show.
ikr
They did do the theme song for Phineas and Ferb theme song
yes they did
and he the voice of chuck e cheese
Well they did do the themesong of Phineas and Ferb and Jimmy Neutron
They used to be a band. Now they sing the chuckee cheezes jingle 🥺
I am going to be a junior in high school and I can relate to this song already. High school is not what it's made up to be, in all reality high school sucks.
You missed the point. It is saying that life after high school is just the same as high school. People do not grow out of their high school mentality. Seriously it is downright pathetic. Look at those who are older than you, and you will probably be able to link their behavior to someone in your school. People don't grow up, they just become older. Especially in today's society.
I know, people really suck. I wish that people would just act their own age and realize how they are acting.
That is the illusion. Most people never really live up to the mature adult mytho. Most adults are nothing more than grown kids. They are petty, vindictive, egotistical, and selfish people.
What a great society we live in, huh?
Indeed. Good luck with your high school stuff. Take bunch of maths and science (AP), and when you get into college don't major in something worthless like me. Do something with STEM.
It's 2020, I'm still listening to punk music, I am one of those kids who move schools every year and I just realized how lucky I am to not worry about class reunions when I become an adult.
"Man, you guys suck."
These fellas are immortalized in one of the catchiest theme songs ever written, what have you done with your life, fictional football player?
Took the worlds right out of my mouth!
He got crabs, that's what.
I Agree
probably the football player would be in prison
Well done, after digging inside your mind you finally found this forgotten song, you deserve a medal. 🏅
At the start they were performing "1985" IN 1985, just imagine how genius that is; those kids predicted the future!
RIP, Adam Schlesinger, the man who co-wrote this 😔
@AND ANDREY ISN'T HERE yeah they were good friends
A D A M 😦
He was from Fountains of Wayne, the band that wrote Stacy's Mom, no?
@@member-berry-bonbons1124 yeah that guy
Gonna join the “I’m in my mid 20s and this song hits different now” crew. Damn.
I love that song.Was featured during Alumni Homecoming this afternoon.That's memorable event after one year hiatus amidst pandemic.Congratulations Batch HCHS Batch 1996 for their success!
Listening to this on my very last day of high school 👌
EpicCake I’ll do this in a year (class of 2020 🎉)
Congrats! Honestly it does get better. For some people, they really don't change after high school. But now you don't have to see them if you don't want to! You can pick up and move to a different town, city or country. You can do what you want (or at least try your best to) and grow at your own pace. It's not perfect, and there isn't a guarantee that you will succeed at everything you try or do everything you want to do, but you have your shot at it. Don't waste a second of it, find out what matters to you and do it. Never look back and don't let anybody tell your your dream is worthless.
@@samuraijack5919 thank you!! I'll definitely be trying my hardest to achieve all my fiture dreams some day, and hopefully college will be nice to me 😅
@EpicCake well? How’s college?
@@KyleCaf oh shoottt yooo college is going pretty weeelll, stressful but still well lol
This song is the first thing I realized when I skipped college and joined the workforce. Oh lord, even ladies in their freakin' 30's act like High Schoolers. High School doesn't end. They just pay you to engage with it when you're an adult.
It's incredible. I'm fucking tired of this shit. Worst part is my friend from high school who were not like this are now like this.
I really feel like every day there's less people to have a fruitful conversation with.
3:00 it ain't a high school reunion until someone spontaneously combusts
0:22 Looks like a guy from my high school. Went back for my 20th high school reunion and all he could talk about was how he was on the football team then.
I used to listen to this band a lot when I was in elementary and early middle school. I am starting high school now. So far I love it.
It's been 18 years since I graduated. This song still holds true.
Dude, you gotta leave me some hope here.
Here's the hope- in my experience atleast, after highschool, some jocks started doin drugs and didnt leave their part time job, some went to college and play college football but none of them are good or getting scholarships that i know of, and some turned gay. Some prep chicks became pretty much trailer trash, one become a porn star. (We were all basicly told by the principal when she dropped out to basicly stfu about it). Or they're gold diggers. The only ones that honestly moved on or did something with their lives were either people like me (moved out right after highschool and have a job and life i couldn't be happier with), or the ones that went straight to college (and actually get the degree) or have their own buisness of some kind. My group of friends i hung out with weren't the greatest and i was more or less a rebel and did some crazy shit with em. They're like brothers to me but they aren't in great spots in their lives..
TL;DR- dont do drugs and dont go hog wild when you get your freedom.
Yeah, why go hog wild with your freedom when you can plan for your future and move on in life no matter what it takes.
There is no hope
Find what you want in life and go for it. If you don't buy into the rat race and "keeping up with the Joneses" then you'll be much happier. But yes, the d!ks in high school still grow up to be sh!tty adults.
"and you still listen to the same shit you did back then"
This song came out when I was in high school. Here I am, still listening to it
Yep 😁♥
I Was The Loner,Loser,Outsider,Nerd,Geek,Goth,Dork,&,Freak When I Was in Middle,&,High Schools,&,Guess What,I’m Still All of Those Things,I Just Choose to Own Them Now
Same, exept for goth and nerd, I am pretty dumb.
Jesus Christ did you skip very basic grammar? Do you not know what the space button is for?
@@imnotsmartbutimdumb kalm down
@jamie evans Cool
I'm only a Nerd and an outsider
Did anyone else notice that the drummer was wearing a shirt that said "I'm excited to be here"😂
Graduated high school in 2015. Really feeling this five years on.
3:28 hugs all around to our same three friends
I think the true message of this song is in the bridge. Ye, Reese Witherspoon's the fuckin prom queen, treat celebrities like people. The idea that, once you graduate, you just end up in a much bigger version of high school is kinda comforting becaue I figured out to be happy in high school for the most part so if I can do that i can do it fro the rest of my life.
"Too small for tv"... Priceless.
I wish this kind of music still exist
As a kid i loved this song but i didn’t really understand the meaning of the lyrics. I’m 22 now and this is the most relatable song I’ve heard in a min 😅
This song doesn't give me the hope I need
***** I hope so... Thank you
You'll be fine just do your work and dont put up with the bullies crap
Valentina G. This song is a solid dose of reality, haha
After high school people dont care enough to constantly bully people anymore
think about this. these guys did the phineas and ferb and Jimmy neutron themes
Kenzie Williams I'm pretty sure that wasn't Jimmy Neutron
Cool Cool No, they did do the Jimmy Neutron theme.
Lauren Wow, you were right. It sounds different from what I'm used to Bowling for Soup sounding like, so I never would have guessed lol
I can't listen to them without thinking of Phineas and Ferb
What do you mean?
If Phineas and Ferb does continue, Bowling For Soup should do a spoof called Summer Never Ends.
That is so goddamn brilliant, you deserve a thousand likes not 66.
Summer never ends woah oh oh oh oh oh
Didn't Phineas and Ferb end already, which im pretty sure it did. It would be nice to see it air on Disney XD again.
@@0GlassOfAcid0 Quite charitable of you.
@@flammulatedowl47 Disney is entertaining the idea of making new episodes of the show for Disney+
here's hoping.
i hate how accurate this is
im 26 now and man this takes me riiiiight back to the good ol days. such nostalgia
34 this year and i'm still rocking out to this tune like im 17 again!
I’m a senior in high school and I’m addicted to this song it’s old but gold
the older i get the more i realize just how accurate this song is
One of Bowling For Soup's biggest hits, the others being "The girl all the bad guys want, (2000)," "1985 (2003)," and "Alexa Bliss (2020.)"
Girl all the bad guys want is from 2002, and 1985 is from 2004
I was so happy when I saw this in an ad for Schooled! I love this song!
Pop punk music needs to come back!! This type actually speaks to me.
I really miss pop punk !
0:35 Fast Times at Ridgemont High reference.
Still amazing all these years later
