I'm going on 70 and this is still my theme song.
Qq
Im 35 and suprised this isnt band lol. Love it.
I'm 50 and this song still speaks to me as much as it did when I was twenty. =)
@@wernergoring9671 56 same here
Your dad is probs dead tho
2024. Still love this song. 💓🤗🎶🌌
I saw these guys one time. They opened for someone, and the singer said, "I'm glad we can entertain you while you find your seats."
Mo Berg is involved with Kim Mitchell writing songs.
So overlooked.....even back when it was released. Super-clever lyrics.
.
I was in a band when this song came out. Me and the bass player were watching this video one night. He said: "Man, all that brunette chick does is stand there and swing her arms." and I said: "That's all she HAS to do!". Those were the days.
She's a great singer also
@@tonyroberts9119 Agreed. Great voice. It's really a shame that she only recorded one album with the band. And here it is 30 years later, and I'm STILL dealing with my crush on her!
Yeah so can't a brunette girl just swing her arms anymore?
@@davea5492 Me too, I'm now friends with her on FB.
Still crushing :)
Should be more arm-swinging !- particularly these "politikally KKKorect times".
My granddaughter turns 18 tomorrow, and I'm going to send her this.
Yup... that was me at 25, born in 1959. I'm 62 now. Still rings true.
total video vixen good for you
Bro, i'm 25😂
I would always mock people who would post song lyrics and then say “this song is my life. “But now I get it. This song actually is my life
Truth...truth.
This was my life at 18.
I hear you sometimes it takes a minute to understand why and then when it hits you and you get that Edison moment
Had the band for our wedding learn this for our dance
That's me at 62 now born in 62
Great song. Why was it not a top ten hit?
Well, they certainly didn't fade out in the end...
Truly a Great Anthem for Millions
This was the version that was played constantly on KXRX Seattle in late 1988. I was 21 and had just started my first "adult job" in an office building that September so it really hit a chord with me.
If you still have that job, Quit now!!
I sure miss KXRX. That station was the right thing at the right time.
I fucking love this song, Canadian rock classic
Another great Toronto 80ies New Wave act.
I’m 28 now, this song started to resonate with me about 2 years ago.
Damn, Dave Mustaine looks so young in this video.
Still one of my favorite bands!!
So true, THEY NEED TO TEACH THIS IN EVERY USA HIGH SKOOL JUST EVEN TO GRADUATE!!!
This song popped into my head, no idea why. Loved this song when I was a young teenager. Still rembered all the words.
Me too lol
Me three
Amazing band from our biggest friendly city
Oh my God that song Still Rings true all these years later I was just sending it to my niece thanks for putting the video up
Sort of, lots of kids these days don't even go through this phase anymore they live at home till they are like 30 and never mature.
This is one of the best songs ever made/produced/recorded.
I remember buying the 7"vinyl back in 1990 and by owning it a girl and I became a couple.
We saw this Band at The Paddington RSL and they were f%cken' awesome, didn't want the gig to finish.
Saw them The Venue - Dee Why Hotel!! Loved them!
Best song ever. Forever and ever
I saw them open for Duran Duran in 1989 and this was a great opener.
this song hits hard !!
Whole album was great altho me and my family and mom(bible loving) were driving to St.Louis when Killed by love played scared my brother,sister,mom to death when i yelled for them to stop before the line"that the kinda girl i wanna f---"
I consider this to be a brilliant rock song that makes me laugh and it has a tremendous guitar solo by Moe on his telecaster.
My gobto when all my kids, Nephews grand pinks turn 18.
Rock ON!
Great tune 😛👍👌
I remember this song.👍 I bought the tape "back in the day" in 1988 the Year I graduated from High School..Im an Adult now. Whew, it's been a few..lol
back in day i got this album my sister said its f g c head of of res its time thank moe and rest of psoh
great band. dont't for get about the genius behind this Todd Rundgren
i'm an Adult Now too, was a child then....Love this song...but i've never seen this video version before....THANKS!! :)
Genious!
I love and loved this song. Only problem is now, in my mid-50s, even the "grown up" stuff seems young.
I can't call my dad up for drinks, he's dead. Adult sex is never dirty now. Too much effort.
Great cut. Produced by Todd Rundgren..
I love this song so much 😍
One of the best-- even more in 2023 !!!
"... mindful of chemicals like a cheese-eating high school boy...." LOL what a line !
its " a mind full of chemicals" as in stoned out of his mind on recreational pharmaceuticals
Wow didnt know there were 2 versions! Love this song! Happy New Year guys! R&R High School Forever!
to you too in the new and upcoming year! youre even more of an adult nowwwww
I recall reading a review that said this and were the first great rock band of the ninetees. They really should've been huge!!
Yess. J’aime ça
Played this song thru our house speakers each morning of my kids' 21st birthdays! Where is the version that say "think I'll call up my dad and have a beer with him?"
Wow! Can't believe I've never seen this video before. I've seen the band many times & actually got to know them. Partied with them after hours one night in a club. Got them really stoned. Fun times.
Must have been quite the memory
What a cool song and video 👍
Still love this song!
Saw them at a night club in Boston approx 1989.
Есть у меня эта CD❤❤❤❤ неожиданно хорошая группа: немного недооценены 😢😢😢😢
great song to send to your kids on their birthdays!...lol
When this song came (1986), I was a jaded 28 year old. I tried so hard to avoid adulthood and it just didn't matter. Although by not having kids, I think I stayed 30 for around 25 years.
I believe this would be the Todd Rundgren produced version. 1st indy release is a bit cooler. And they made a video too. Lotta shots of downtown Toronto🇨🇦!
There is an original recording and video for this song that got played to death on MuchMusic.
Great album this was on. Saw them open for the Replacements. Cool show!
Saw these guys open for Duran Duran one year. Good Show!
I’m wondering how I lived through the 80s and never heard this song. When I saw Duran Duran, Erasure opened for them. Erasure blew up the following year and are still one of my favorite bands.
This song was from the movie Rock N Roll High School Forever.
Great chune, feeling nostalgic
I hope these kids made Screen Actor Guild salaries.
It’s great fun to be listening to this at 48
I'm here because my 19 year old daughter said, "I'm an adult now"
Great jam.
Takes us back, way back.. for those who like em... the Lyrics:
Well, I don't hate my parents
I don't get drunk just to spite them
I got my own reasons to drink now
I think I'll call my dad up and invite him!
I can sleep in till noon any time I want
Though there's not many days that I do
Gotta get up and take on that world
When you're an adult, it's no cliche, it's the truth
'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now
I can't even look at young girls anymore
People will think I'm some kind of pervert
Adult sex is either boring or dirty
Young people, they can get away with murder
I don't write songs about girls anymore
I have to write songs about women
No more boy meets girl, boy loses girl
More like man tries to understand what the hell went wrong
'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I got the problems of an adult now
On my head and my libido
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now

I can't take any more illicit drugs
I can't afford any artificial joy
I'd sure look like a fool dead in a ditch somewhere
With a mind full of chemicals
Like some cheese-eating high school boy
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now
Sometimes my head hurts and sometimes my stomach hurts
And I guess that it won't be long
Before I'm sitting in a room with a bunch
Of people whose necks and backs are aching
Whose sight and hearing's failing
Who just can't seem to get it up
Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music
I mean I like to play it, but I sure don't like the racket
Noise, but I can't hear anything
Just guitars screaming, screaming, screaming
Some guy screaming in a leather jacket
Whoaah!
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and my libido
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I miss the days of Boston’s WFNX and this song. I’m 53 now.
this was a cool album.
Never seen this version of the video! Yikes i like the original from 1986. 🖤🌹
Toronto❤
here ‘causa the newest Guitar Player magazine. Great little ditty with awesome lyrics!
So young
2:14 Moe doing the original palm-to-cam-swipe like some cheese-eating RUclipsr
TPOH in high definition!
Great song.
I found this song for a RUclips comment and it’s awesome
Ya cheese eating high school boy.
Moe and Kris look so young in this video.
No more boy meets girl, boy loses girl, more like man tries to understand what the hell went wrong. Yes, yes and YES.
A Todd Rundgren production!
18th birthday today!
saw them with Legal Reins who opened for them. good show. small venue called Bogarts in Long Beach CA.
Well, all I can say is......I am a member of the class of 73 and I have a large bitchin vintage guitar collection, several rare vintage Marshall amps and I crank them up on a daily basis. My stereo system is always pounding and I have a 30 yr old girlfriend! Let's hear it for dispensaries....too bad no psychedelics but, I'll take what is available. Rock On bitches!!!!😎
Fucking someone young enough to be your daughter is such 'made it far enough but not really far enough' behaviour. I'd know, my 74 yr old father does the same thing and it's hella gross.
Never realized how much the verses in this song are like Megadeth"s Peace Sells...
Omg you are so right!!! WTF!!!!
Lol. Peace sells but who's buying yeah I can hear it.
Yea except if someone karaoked this I'd be stoked not annoyed and bored by a 3000 bar long intro so there's that
I use to think he was saying im on the doll now 😅😅😅
The theme song for gen x
Did the original get taken down? I love this song :(
This is the "Idiocracy" of songs. Explains getting old to perfection 😂

I sent this to my neighbors to explain things
Love this song but I'm partial to the original ultra low budget video that featured downtown Toronto landmarks.
Peace sells
Yep fucking work in at 6 in the morning ......
I must have missed these guys. Trunk Nation brought me here. Good song, but rap music has more in common with this band than Megadeth 😂.
Hidden gem
Fucking Nostradamus over here made a song over 30 years ago. We get it.
This isn’t the video you want to watch for this song. The original with old scenes of downtown Toronto is much more authentic TPOH.
This song reminds me of Nirvana
Tpoh ....and mathew sweet sure
i skipped this guys class lol
The Pursuit Of Happiness, a Canadian power-pop band who named themselves after a line in the Declaration of Independence, having a hit with what can best be described as a hair-metal stand-up comedy routine.
Lead-singer/potential stand-up comedian Moe Berg - a name that I feel suits a stand-up comedian far better than it suits a rock star - complains about all the downsides of being an adult:
He can’t write songs about “girls” anymore. He has to write songs about “women.” No more boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl. More like MAN TRIES TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL WENT WRONG!!
Some of Moe’s observations on adult life don’t necessarily square with the lived experience of adult life: “I can sleep in til noon anytime that I want”? What adult does that? Oh, right, rock stars. Some of us live in the real world, Moe.
All the while the guitars are screaming, screaming, screaming, and some guy screaming in a leather jacket! OW!!!!
“I’m An Adult Now” is an 8.
The part where he’s narrating sounds like a drug free Dave mustaine
2:21...Kris better stay away from Leslie's man...
...like some cheese eating high school boy.
Lol.
