This song defined the early 2000s and pop punk. Forever an all time anthem. Summer time wouldn't be complete with blasting this every night even going on 20 years later. Love it.
Kung Fu you were part of my teenage punk fix. I was 16 driving w/my boyfriend and we would listen to this song over and over! I’m 38 now it just brings me back when I hear this song!
Lyrics: Last night I had a dream that we went to Disneyland Went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line I took you to your house where we stared up at the stars I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms We hung out at the Rainbow where we drank 'till half past two Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist These are the things that make me free I feel like I'm stuck in stand by me This night was too good to be true Today I woke up alone wishing you were here with me I want us to be something that we'd probably never be Today you called me up and said you'd see me at our show But now I'm stuck debating if I even want to go Whitney, don't you understand that what I say is true? I just want you to know I have a major crush on you I'd drive you to Las Vegas and do the things you wanna do I'd even have Wayne Newton dedicate a song to you I only wish that this could be Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me I swear I'd treat you like a queen A queen
The Atari's may have a douchebag for a front man, but they were still underrated. Nobody in my area even remembers them because of the shit that's been passed around about him. He's changing and we need to appreciate the monumental effort. As a recovering addict myself, it's hard to turn it around. I can attest.
Holy shit bro I just listen to the song after not hearing it for 20 years and that’s how I got through the military as well this song was very special to me and I wanted to share that with you as well we’re probably the same age
My first boyfriend used to call me on the phone every night and one day, he sang this song to me. It was embarrassing to be sang to but I loved it and after that night, I asked him to sing it to me often. Off and on for 18 years and he’s finally over me and on to a good woman. I’m too unpredictable, so I can’t blame him tbh. Thanks for all the fun! I’m glad I got to have such a great first boyfriend! And good memories with such a great song! 🎉❤😊
Bruh, i just met a girl, and i fell in love with her, she's a dream for me, but she has a boyfriend, and as i can't do anything but being sad, this song fits how i feel today
man have not heard this song in a minute i remember when this song blew up was getting into concert promoting and we got to book them for a show. they put on a great show.
Last night I had a dream that we went to Disneyland, Went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line. I drove you to your house where we stared up at the stars I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms. We hung out at the rainbow where we drank til' half past two. Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you. Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist... These are the things that make me free I feel like I'm stuck in "Stand By Me" This night was too good to be true. Today I woke up alone wishing you were here with me, I wanted us to be something that we'd probably never be. Today you called me up and said you'd see me at our show, But now I'm stuck debating if I even wanna go. Baby, don't you understand that what I say is true? I just want you to know I have a major crush on you. I'd drive you to Las Vegas and do the things you wanna do I'd even have Wayne Newton dedicate a song to you. I only wish that this could be Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me I swear I'd treat you like a queen
@@NOTwellfed that part of the song is open to interpretation (which is evident by Kris changing it during live performances)but I agree the original had "whitney"
Grew up next to San Dimas, used to take chicks to Disneyland, had crushes too and was in HS in the early 2000’s. Just imagine. This song IS the anthem.
I used to live by that sign when I went to UCSB and lived in Goleta like a WEIRDO. I wasn't into the ataris back then. Dubstep was popular but I liked bay area rap and screamo.
The sad thing is he was never gonna win, if Whitney dumped her boyfriend and went out with him he would have fucked it up anyway. Lesson to the punk kids - songs about unobtainable girls are always better than the reality of unobtainable girls.
we werent, the other school has leo messi, aguero and javi pastore no one can win against them, in fact most of ours actually transferred from that school, for obvious reason
sounds bs but its true, young messi back then played with right foot all the time and still dominate every match on side note we actually have striker eduardo but he chose to hit drums instead of scoring

Love it.
It's STILL the early 2000s, stupid fuck! Will be until 3000, idiot! STOP using it in the past tense, fucking moron!
Always reminds me of summer as well
Crazy how one track can make my brain drop so many chemicals.
🤘😎
@Mark my words drugs rule but are not necessary
Totally agree ❤️
Same!!!!! It makes me cry in a good way 😂
I saw them in a dive and talked to the drummer for ages. I miss those punk rock days.
Kung Fu you were part of my teenage punk fix. I was 16 driving w/my boyfriend and we would listen to this song over and over! I’m 38 now it just brings me back when I hear this song!
Love this album, reminds me of my childhood. Being 14 and in love with life.
Ya man.
Lyrics:
Last night I had a dream that we went to Disneyland
Went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line
I took you to your house where we stared up at the stars
I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms
We hung out at the Rainbow where we drank 'till half past two
Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you
Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss
Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist
These are the things that make me free
I feel like I'm stuck in stand by me
This night was too good to be true
Today I woke up alone wishing you were here with me
I want us to be something that we'd probably never be
Today you called me up and said you'd see me at our show
But now I'm stuck debating if I even want to go
Whitney, don't you understand that what I say is true?
I just want you to know I have a major crush on you
I'd drive you to Las Vegas and do the things you wanna do
I'd even have Wayne Newton dedicate a song to you
I only wish that this could be
Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me
I swear I'd treat you like a queen
A queen
2002 memories right here! This album got me by in my first year in the military :)
My high school graduation year lol joined the military in 2005.
Brother I love and thank you for you’re service!!!! Nnn

This comment has not aged well.

Crap forgot all about this. 38 and this brings back some memories
34 here. These were the best days of our lives
I just remembered this too at the same age hahaha
Omg me too. I don’t even know how I got back here. What an amazing ride it was
Everyone in a punk band at this time covered this.
24 and just discovered this band through When We Were Young 2023 🤘🏼🎸🥁🖤🖤 awesome song
Aquele som que traz mais recordações que uma fotografia!!!!!!
When life was simple ❤
My first boyfriend used to call me on the phone every night and one day, he sang this song to me.

Yeah, same just happened here bro
🤮
How is it?
This drummer is kickass!
High schools years for me 2001-2005
this is clearly one of the best 10 songs of all time
BEST band EVER
Oh Kung Fu how you own my young teenage heart. 35 now but you still own the real estate 🤘🏻💯❤️
37 and still ripping to this. Yeww
Also 37 bro. Used to rock this 20+ years ago and it’s still an absolute tune. Love The Ataris.
My favorite part is where they sing about San Dimas High School football
I wish I could go back in time. I'd do so many things different.
man have not heard this song in a minute i remember when this song blew up was getting into concert promoting and we got to book them for a show. they put on a great show.
This song defined my teen years in the early 2000s. A classic.
That's a "nice guy" story.
The*Ataris.... My favorite band of all time!!! Never gets old ... Nostalgia 💜
Mayday Parade: dreams about Vegas
Atari’s: Dreams about Disneyland And Vegas
Last night I had a dream that we went to Disneyland,
Went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line.
I drove you to your house where we stared up at the stars
I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms.
We hung out at the rainbow where we drank til' half past two.
Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you.
Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss
Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist...
These are the things that make me free
I feel like I'm stuck in "Stand By Me"
This night was too good to be true.
Today I woke up alone wishing you were here with me,
I wanted us to be something that we'd probably never be.
Today you called me up and said you'd see me at our show,
But now I'm stuck debating if I even wanna go.
Baby, don't you understand that what I say is true?
I just want you to know I have a major crush on you.
I'd drive you to Las Vegas and do the things you wanna do
I'd even have Wayne Newton dedicate a song to you.
I only wish that this could be
Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me
I swear I'd treat you like a queen
Deku Midoriya it’s Whitney, not baby
@@NOTwellfed That is the curse of copy and paste.
@@NOTwellfed that part of the song is open to interpretation (which is evident by Kris changing it during live performances)but I agree the original had "whitney"
We know...
One person had A wheelchair
My 18 year old nostalgia is showing. I'm old.
Without The Ataris we would not be here. Still awesome!
Ah the memories.
I used to listen to this and we played this at a talent show and started a band
2024 still 🔥🔥🔥 thank you!
Such a sweet song then, such a sweet song now.
still give me chills
Grew up next to San Dimas, used to take chicks to Disneyland, had crushes too and was in HS in the early 2000’s. Just imagine. This song IS the anthem.
And suddenly my high school memories come rushing back all at once…
And the irony is that I went to San Dimas High School!
Sii me too so many things been in my high school.. and btw my name Dimas too..
Yep
Wistful song!! Listened so much.. Now 44 years old always the same thrill 💜
Pure pop punk
I wonder who will I dedicate this song to after my highschool crush :'(
This song just forever belongs to the highschool crush. 🥰
I’m married now with kids and this song still reminds me of my high school boyfriend.
@@Pari_Pixie best answer, some things have their time and place forever
I used to live by that sign when I went to UCSB and lived in Goleta like a WEIRDO. I wasn't into the ataris back then. Dubstep was popular but I liked bay area rap and screamo.
I’m 33 and still evaluate my love interests by whether they would love this song or not 😅
2024 and still
Fuck I miss this so much 😭 I can’t even fathom it
My AOL Instant Messenger long distance “girlfriend” introduced me to the Ataris back in 2005 ❤
Great song great album punk rock forever
Say it...what people like us think...HIP HOP MUMBLE RAP SUUUUUCKS!!!!
I wish I had a love like this.
The intro really reminds me of Solitaire by Strung Out.
best track by The Ataris
I've always told my wife this our song she says its Samhain archangel (can't really argue)
This song = anthem of our youth. ❤❤️❤️
this song will always remind me of my boyfriend, Joe, my sophomore year of hs (2000)
🎶💜
I’m so high this is so nostalgic
every now and then I remember this song and remember that I love it
happened again today lmao
Most excellent movie reference
Can I be 15 again? 🥺
I can’t believe I’m going to be 38 this year. 😭😭
Heeeey! Now that I have your attention..thanks I love the ataris🎉
sick
classic pop punk ;D
You gotta IG?
Unlucky jonesiboy 😔
The irony is that I went to San Dimas High School
Used to do the summer swim classes….cold ass pop tarts out of the vending machine they had between the two pools lol
The sad thing is he was never gonna win, if Whitney dumped her boyfriend and went out with him he would have fucked it up anyway. Lesson to the punk kids - songs about unobtainable girls are always better than the reality of unobtainable girls.
Whitney don’t you understand that what I say is true?
I just want you to know San Dimas High School Football Rules
LA DE PXNDX WE
As one that went there. Our football team sucked ass.
we werent, the other school has leo messi, aguero and javi pastore no one can win against them, in fact most of ours actually transferred from that school, for obvious reason
sounds bs but its true, young messi back then played with right foot all the time and still dominate every match
on side note we actually have striker eduardo but he chose to hit drums instead of scoring
Can confirm, love from Damien 😉
In 1999 though?
Oh the memories. San Dimas football sucks though.
dat dam torres run away from my pass, it was ez goal
Not at the time haha
ROLOTA FLAKA
I HATE THIS GAME OF SOLITAIRE!
Play at .75 speed
MXPX....no offense...but they f'n embarrassed themselves with their cover of this...
You are entitled to your opinion. At least I think we have that right these days. I disagree with yours but that's what makes life fun and non generic
Disagreed. Their version is cool too
Played in a different key so Mike could sing it but I still thought it was good.
2023 here
