This is one of those songs that makes me wonder even though I know everybody has different opinions, taste, et cetera how can somebody not listen to the song and hear the genius in it?
They're so talented and will always be underated. Perfect storm of a great drummer/ songwriter, Milo's singing/ lyrics, amazing unique guitar player (unmatched IMO) and bassist that keeps up. Love seeing them live every time.
Lyrics: Clean sheets mean a lot to a guy who sleeps on the floor. I wanted your love and a shelf on your dresser drawer. You tucked me in, stopped my tossin' and turnin', But I turned back the covers, and I saw those sheets are dirty. Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true. Those sheets are dirty, and so are you. The warmth of a bed to a guy who sleeps on the floor Was enough to perpetuate all the lies I heard before, And now I wanna hold you, gotta hold my pillow instead, 'Cause my pillow will never lie, or be with a stranger in my bed. Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true. Those sheets are dirty, and so are you. Where's the love I was lookin' for? It's out the door. I'm afraid to see you anymore, so it's back on the floor, 'Cause those sheets are dirty. [Guitar solo] Woke up this mornin', alone on the floor, Thinkin' about those clean sheets and the way it was before. When I looked in the mirror, I saw your face and thought of the past, But now I know how dirty you are-took my fist and smashed the glass! Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true. Those sheets are dirty, and so are you. Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true. Those sheets are dirty, and so are you. Those sheets are dirty. Those sheets are dirty. Those sheets are dirty.
Just saw them on the Rise Against tour, and this was one of the songs they played. Man, they were amazing. Easy to see how they've lasted this long, they're one of the best punk bands of all time.
christ this is a good record. . . .what drumming. what melodies. . . like the sex pistols meet the beach boys.. .loved it as a 15 year old skater. . love it now as a 40 something.
Fuckin Bill Stevenson dude. They built the band around the drums. I didn't realize it, until they put out the documentary about them. But you can here it once you are clued in. The groove rules ALL. ;)
'when i looked in the mirror, i saw your face and thought of the past, but now i know how dirty you are, took my fist and smashed the glass!' the way he upswings on glass still gives me shivers like 25 yrs later. catharsis!
green day and descendents are two truly amazing punk bands and 1st and 3rd favourite punk bands (1st obviously being descendents) and i get pissed when people call green day trash but fuck me descendents are a no brain win
I saw them live last night and they did this song, It was a fucking incredible performance from the worlds greatest band! Thank you for playing the way you play!
When I was 17 I moved out to Catalina Island for 2yrs. The first day out there I looked down and found this CD on the ground in the dirt...greatest thing I ever found on the ground. I already was wayyy into Descendents but didn’t have any cds anymore
The amazing part of this song is that Bill woke up one morning with the melody of the chorus AND the lyrics in his head. "Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true. Those sheets are dirty and so are you." Best band even in the unconscious state.
Descendents, dead milkmen, misfits, Pantera, fugazi, sublime, suicidal tendencies, dead Kennedys, system of a down, Jane's addiction, Jimi Hendrix, Black flag, bad brains, the Ramones, black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, nofx, Primus, some weed and a beer and I'll be happy for eternity

I remember hearing this album for my first time when I was just a youngster and I've been listening to it here and there ever since these dudes were a good band.... are a good band
Must say, Atreyu actually did this justice. Doesn't top the original....but stands on its own (which is more than I can say for most covers like this). Randomly found all my old CDs and this has been a good week.
haha, well said! i love the way the descendents mixed pop melodies, hardocre punk, and adolescent humor and lyrics! milo is an underrated singer too, he has a good voice!
My professor in my Russian history class quoted some of the lyrics from this sohg during a lecture. I gave him a Descendents t-shirt after the next lecture - still only got a B in the class.
![Lucky - Descendents [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yHyDv0Los2c/mqdefault.jpg)
This really might be one of the best songs of all time. Honestly.
Agreed. What more can I say? It rules!
Helps a bunch when yer girl ........
This is one of those songs that makes me wonder even though I know everybody has different opinions, taste, et cetera how can somebody not listen to the song and hear the genius in it?
"If you know, you know"
Sorry you feel that way.. Rough, man. Stick to your pillow. It won't lie to you.
you listen to this album once and then you're singing it for like a month. These guys had a gift for infectious hooks.
Most underrated band of all time
I totally agree
One of, fer shure.
But held in incredibly high regard for those in the know!
What about Korn?
@@thierryroy9278 Why Korn?
They're so talented and will always be underated. Perfect storm of a great drummer/ songwriter, Milo's singing/ lyrics, amazing unique guitar player (unmatched IMO) and bassist that keeps up. Love seeing them live every time.
The first Descendents song I ever heard in the summer of 1987. Still have the same feeling today when I listen to it.

Never exiting my Punk phase, EVER!! 🤟🏽🎸
How did this band not become more popular? Catchy-ass tunes.
This song has been apart of my life for over 10 years. Is absolutely love this band.
I had the pleasure of seeing DESCENDENTS in the 80s at the Whisky-A Go-Go. I had such a fun time.😎
best melodic punk rock band ever.
Bill Stevenson is one of the best punk drummers Ever, icon!
Simon Ritchie one of the best drummers ever.
Bill is an amazing drummer and songwriter
@@beautifulnorth2085 also all the album's he's produced behind the scenes as well
My absolute FAVORITE Descendents songs! Still kicks ass over 30 years later!!
this song is from 1987...
...the album came out 29 years ago. will be 30 years this year. close enough, damn.
Einsam Wolf which was 30 years ago dumb dumb
For sure! The best Descendents song!
christ this is a good record. . . .what drumming. what melodies. . . like the sex pistols meet the beach boys.. .loved it as a 15 year old skater. . love it now as a 40 something.
+james leakey Awesome. I hope I'll still love this music when I'm 40.
Was my daily soundtrack skating. Kinda weird I'm going to see them live tomorrow in my 40's.
Fuckin Bill Stevenson dude. They built the band around the drums. I didn't realize it, until they put out the documentary about them. But you can here it once you are clued in. The groove rules ALL. ;)
Mike Quinlivan fuck yes
You nailed it
god i will forever love this band.
Still the best band... ever.
blogobre ... forever... ever
+blogobre ... and ever
+frovil ... and ever
+Arrow7o7heFace ... and ever
+Caio Cezar and ever, man
'when i looked in the mirror, i saw your face and thought of the past, but now i know how dirty you are, took my fist and smashed the glass!' the way he upswings on glass still gives me shivers like 25 yrs later. catharsis!
The writing is so simple but genius
Never heard a band write about love as good as the descendents. And a lot of bands write about love lol
Almost everyone across all genres write about love quite often.
sheer terror
green day
Life Is Good, You Should Get One Green Day can't hold The Descendents' fuckin sperm sample
green day and descendents are two truly amazing punk bands and 1st and 3rd favourite punk bands (1st obviously being descendents) and i get pissed when people call green day trash but fuck me descendents are a no brain win
I saw them live last night and they did this song, It was a fucking incredible performance from the worlds greatest band! Thank you for playing the way you play!
Classic! I love this song... reminds me of when I was 14 and in 9th grade...I listened to them a lot back then...
They take me back to a simpler time. Very refreshing.
When I was 17 I moved out to Catalina Island for 2yrs. The first day out there I looked down and found this CD on the ground in the dirt...greatest thing I ever found on the ground. I already was wayyy into Descendents but didn’t have any cds anymore
funny they have a song called Catalina lol
I discovered this song in early 2022. I honestly thought it was a new band. Timeless.
What's a few decades between friends!
i highly recomend checking out ALL ( the band) the sister project/band, that was formed while Milo went to get a biochemistry degree
@@skeven0different sound but an amazing band and when you know who they are it automatically makes them cooler lol.
new band..? i never heard good music at least more than this 5 years, just rap with autotune and stupid tiktok music everywhere.
the way he sings "...and smashed the glass!" still sends shivers up me timbers.
how can someone can dislike this song?
They don't understand real music unfortunately
Had the cassette in 88' it literally killed my walkman.. Now at 43 still one of my favorite albums...
Somery came out in 91 😬🤔🙄 js I remember when it did! Eeeeek
Maybe you're thinking of all and I'm being a pretentious prick
The amazing part of this song is that Bill woke up one morning with the melody of the chorus AND the lyrics in his head. "Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true. Those sheets are dirty and so are you." Best band even in the unconscious state.
Doing laundry today and had to say clean sheets mean a lot!!!!!!!
i miss bands like this.
Just starting to get into these guys... Really glad I discovered them. I think either Pervert or Hope have to be my favorite songs.
I think Pervert, Hope, and Bikeage are my favorites, and i just got into them too.
Mine's "I'm Not a Loser"
Andrew Schofield mine are silly girl, jean is dead, thank you, here with me and this
always will be one of my favorites.
Obrigado por tudo, Descendents!
Sipo
Fenomenal
of all the songs I've listened to on here, this song by far has the best sound quality. Whoever put this up here has great equiptment.
One of best rock songs of all time.
THOSE SHEETS ARE DIIIIIIRTYYYYY............. LOVE THIS SOOOOOONG!
came here to hear this song again they played here in San Antone last night. They're awesome
Still better than any pop punk band out today.
Pop Punk bands now are so bad that I can't bring myself to call Descendents pop punk.
+Bonzi the Otaku State Champs, Man Overboard, Four Year Strong
+Joshua Sinogaya emo pop punk is what I was referring to
thankyou!!
i rather like Masked Intruder tbh
I'm going to let you finish, but descendents is the best punk band of all time
Loved this song since high school days 😍🤩
This song kills. OMG.
I love descendents fans because of comments like this. You sir, just restored my faith in humanity. Hats off to you.
Just bought somery cd a few weeks ago still listening such a great record of all there classics,payed a good penny for it but was definitely worth it.
What a great song! I hadn't heard much Descendents prior to this.
Descendents, dead milkmen, misfits, Pantera, fugazi, sublime, suicidal tendencies, dead Kennedys, system of a down, Jane's addiction, Jimi Hendrix, Black flag, bad brains, the Ramones, black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, nofx, Primus, some weed and a beer and I'll be happy for eternity
Minus Primus ditto
Donovan Redd how dare you disgrace the Lord's of all psychedelic punk you uncultured swine
Yeah, Primus!!
I feel like The Beatles really doesn’t go with those at all
I'll just take a girl instead of the weed
Clean sheets mean a lot to a guy who sleeps on the floor.
I wanted your love and a shelf on your dresser drawer.
You tucked me in, stopped my tossin' and turnin',
But I turned back the covers, and I saw those sheets are dirty.
Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true.
Those sheets are dirty, and so are you.
The warmth of a bed to a guy who sleeps on the floor
Was enough to perpetuate all the lies I heard before,
And now I wanna hold you, gotta hold my pillow instead,
'Cause my pillow will never lie, or be with a stranger in my bed.
Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true.
Those sheets are dirty, and so are you.
Where's the love I was lookin' for? It's out the door.
I'm afraid to see you anymore, so it's back on the floor,
'Cause those sheets are dirty.
[Guitar solo]
Woke up this mornin', alone on the floor,
Thinkin' about those clean sheets and the way it was before.
When I looked in the mirror, I saw your face and thought of the past,
But now I know how dirty you are-took my fist and smashed the glass!
Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true.
Those sheets are dirty, and so are you.
Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true.
Those sheets are dirty, and so are you.
Those sheets are dirty.
Those sheets are dirty.
Those sheets are dirty.
I only have something to say: Fucking hoes, they're all the same
One of the hardest bangers and I will not debate this statement
This song remains a FUKIN CLASSIC to this day !.....
I remember hearing this album for my first time when I was just a youngster and I've been listening to it here and there ever since these dudes were a good band.... are a good band
love this band!
who can dislike a song thats so cheerful
reminds me of high school :)
Must say, Atreyu actually did this justice. Doesn't top the original....but stands on its own (which is more than I can say for most covers like this). Randomly found all my old CDs and this has been a good week.
i love this band. reminds me of the person i consider the love of my live. miss you Papa. where ever you are. 💋
So cool! The soundtrack of my childhood!
been into these guys since 95 great band
whycantibefree since 88 for me bud, it's cause I'm old
blogobre Since '81 for me, that makes me even older!
Y'all are some badass old people tho!
Those sheets are dirty... AND SO ARE YOU! Fucking love this song :D
Dude its brock
TheBrigadeloco
One of the Officer Jenny's must have sent him here.
Man can't resist a Nurse Joy.
One of my teen anthems. Thanks for writing this song.
My favorite band. And the most influential
Lived this song a couple of times.....
it was so sick seeing this at the Punk in the Park concert
The music of my childhood!!!!
my childhood 😢
Love this song so much
Gracias Descendents
I've been listening to the song for 15 years now and I just realized I think it's more about hypocritical Behavior than anything. Cool.
Wow that makes a ton of sense actually, thanks for pointing that out!
Descendents: Brutal truth meets superficial pop.
my thoughts exactly
not exactly
haha, well said! i love the way the descendents mixed pop melodies, hardocre punk, and adolescent humor and lyrics! milo is an underrated singer too, he has a good voice!
this band is the best of all
Such a good song. Please show your support by buying Descendents albums!
saw them last night but got there right after they played this. the show was great, but i would have died to hear this.
this band reminds me of the man i consider the love of my life. miss you Papa where ever you are 💋
Milo what a beautiful thing 🤓
Seen them 3x, and they only get better.
Met Karl, super nice guy and funny as hell!
My professor in my Russian history class quoted some of the lyrics from this sohg during a lecture. I gave him a Descendents t-shirt after the next lecture - still only got a B in the class.
This song is my soul animal
and forever ever
I miss seeing these guys
woke up this morning and we are clean and those sheets are funcky
this brings back some fond memories thanks
R.I.P. Frank Navetta.
The plain honesty with pop Sensibility
No one does it better
Epic! Truth is power!
love this song
omg!! i love this song soooooo much!
This and "Merican" are tied for their best song imo.
Also, I could very easily see this song fitting on "Hold Me Up" by Goo Goo Dolls.
Just put clean sheets on my bed.. they mean a lot :b
such an amazing song!!!
+ShogunSlim 1969 I think we all know this band left ONE DIRECTION in the dust
Great band
I don’t know his name, but the descendent’s bass player is probably the best punk bass player of all time. Edit: Karl Alvarez is his name.
When i was young
@FessaaDaBomb can't fool me with that trick question... they ALL rock.
Atreyu did an awesome cover of this! Nothing beats the original though
La mejor banda de Punk
Bloody awesome!
in my top 10
This gets stuck in my head every time I make the bed
Nice tune!
Great song!
Still here 2021
1million!
Relax
