Great song. It shows that not all guys want a girlfriend who agrees to everything what they say. They want a girl who has her own opinion and can say "no". A girl who doesn't change to please everyone.
Cody Smith There are people who think this? o_O In my opinion it's quite obvious that the song is about guys who want a girlfriend who's just herself and not a "clone" of them or agreeing to everything they say.
Calista-hime umm... i thought this was all perfectly clear. like they pretty much spell out everything you just said. “she’s got no opinion” “soon to be history never wanna disagree girlfriend” “even i’ve got standards”
I feel like the people who admit to acting like this and then justify it by saying it's just easier that way are missing the point of the song. The whole point is that people will ultimately like and respect you more if you're confident enough in yourself and your opinions to not give a shit what others think.
I don’t feel like that message is really the best approach to someone who acts this way. Telling someone not to modify their behavior to whoever is around them because it makes people like them less is just another way of telling them to change themselves to make other people happy.
I have a friend like this and it scares the crap out of me. I could emotionally manipulate/abuse her without even realizing it because she'd just do whatever it takes to ensure she doesn't lose me as a friend. If you're scared to have opinions, you NEED to find someone who can (and will) help you with your confidence.
wow, Bowling For Soup is all over my life without me having known it. 1st unnoticed contact was with one of my fav childhood movies Jimmy Neutron, where they perform the theme song. then they play the Phineas and Ferb theme song. and finally Jaret worked on the ending theme of Sonic Unleashed, which i love. I've GOT to get some of their stuff!
I'll put it like this. Everyone wants to be loved. Everyone expresses it in a different way, bad or good, depending on what they have been through and the perception of reality they carry around which to them is appearing to be the only or one of very few known ways. And so, we get entangled in self-righteousness and judging everyone and everything. But the point is, people do what they do because they want to be loved.
Lies are the same. Why do people lie? They don't want reveal the truth, 'cause they are afraid of being judged by others. If you know saying truth would make other person hate you, or it would lower their affection, or put an end to any chance of becoming closer to that person, or you'd lose that person etc.(all fears resulting in not being loved, or not as much as desired) Then you tell a lie, because you want to be loved or maintain the level of the love currently in place.
i personally prefer it when the lyrics are in the description aswell,u can then watch the video for a karaoke feel, or read description to acctually learn the lyrics
Lies are SOMETIMES told for that reason, but not exclusively. Many, if not most, are fabrications used to evade punishment when punishment is due. Then, it can have little or nothing to do with want of love. The original sin is disobedience, and then, there was a lie.
@gUiTaRfReAk13550 I have noticed that I have actually spelt some of the words both the english way and the american way, but as it isnt really a big problem I didn't bother to redo it and upload it again. But at least you are taking notice of the words and it wasnt a waste of my time to make the video :).
The point of having an opinion is to widen the potential of a conversation. If everyone shared the exact same perspective, ideas and thoughts on something, tell me just how are we going to come across an inspiring speech, or an amazing piece of art. It wouldn't be possible. And equal opinions? I don't think that's quite right. I believe in freedom of speech, but not equal opinions. There are some real ignorant people, where it's plain to see, their opinions need to be kept to themselves.
The issue's that people search for people with different opinions. If we wanted to find someone who basically mirrors us, we could just look in a mirror. Instead, when you find someone, you'd want them to be different from you. You can't quite get along too well with someone if you don't know who they really are, instead you'd be getting along with someone they're pretending to be, which isn't anywhere near the same thing. The motive isn't in question here, it's the end result.
And some things, like you said, can be good or bad. Replicating the very lifestyle of another purely for the sake of your so-called "Love" in the case of this song, has been shown to be a bad way about your "Love". By having "No opinion", it has made the situation worse, and done the opposite of what you seem to say the original intention was; of "Love". Yet, this is only a song. It;s the expression of someone's experience and emotion, so there is little left to debate.
@TacktedChoas101 Thanks for the praise, It's a hard decision I dont know if to just try and prefect this style and I guess it makes me abit more unique when it comes lyrics videos.
It's the eternal paradox, unprovable without being a hypocrite. But that should have been obvious by the time you finished reading, if only you gave it a little bit of thought.
well this comment is old but sounds like he might be seeking approval because he admires you or is actually romantically interested. In fact its been long enough you probably figured it out lol
Great song. It shows that not all guys want a girlfriend who agrees to everything what they say. They want a girl who has her own opinion and can say "no". A girl who doesn't change to please everyone.
Yep. Thank you for getting the real meaning behind this song, unlike people saying she's his double and stuff.
Cody Smith There are people who think this? o_O
In my opinion it's quite obvious that the song is about guys who want a girlfriend who's just herself and not a "clone" of them or agreeing to everything they say.
Yeah.. go see the acoustic version of the song to see what I'm talking about.
Love ur profile pic
Calista-hime umm... i thought this was all perfectly clear. like they pretty much spell out everything you just said. “she’s got no opinion” “soon to be history never wanna disagree girlfriend” “even i’ve got standards”
She says she likes Bowling For Soup, but doesn't even know the song 1985.
actually, 1985 is not a BFS's song... It's a cover..
+Cecilia Yacobi it doesn't change the fact that their cover ended up becoming their biggest and most popular hit
+Vega Form Nyran Actually, their biggest hit was "The girl all the bad guys want"...lol And you say you like BFS.... hahaha
Vega Form Nyran I didn't say that changed because of it, but it's still not their song
+Vega Form Nyran But they got a Grammy Nomination for "Girls"... and I was trying to be fun and sarcastic.. not a bitch... sorry for your assumption.
Liked the whole song but what killed it for me was the outro at the end
I feel like the people who admit to acting like this and then justify it by saying it's just easier that way are missing the point of the song. The whole point is that people will ultimately like and respect you more if you're confident enough in yourself and your opinions to not give a shit what others think.

i'm glad i found this band, awesome song!
Is actually a bonus song on the Great Burrito Extortion Case Album which came out 2006
The reason people are scared to give their opinions is that they don't know how to disagree in a way that is respectful and doesn't kill the mood.
Also, this is the internet. "FUK U" is a valid response to opinions out here.
I'm lactose intolerant but I eat Ice cream anyways. I suffer later
+coconut53511 Best way to live.
rebel
Same.
coconut53511 get vegan ice cream. No need for anyone to suffer :’)
Yea but there are differant levels, some people are so intolerant it's basically poison lol
Why is thing song not on Spotify?
Peter Unger why isn't it on itunes
Exactly
It’s on Spotify in countries where it was on the album
This band is amazing.
I have a friend like this and it scares the crap out of me. I could emotionally manipulate/abuse her without even realizing it because she'd just do whatever it takes to ensure she doesn't lose me as a friend. If you're scared to have opinions, you NEED to find someone who can (and will) help you with your confidence.
totally agree and it's weird.... this is KINDA me.... I'M AFRAID OF REJECTION
(2024) Here I am again after so many years! What a throwback!
I love how a little texas punk rock band can sound so good but is into classic rock I live this band
I love this song and band! Their songs are funny and they always bring in good band names like Zeppelin!
the lyrics in this song go together so well =O i love this song
to be honest he has got a voice that hard to forget and is really obvious when you hear it so im not surprised tbh :/
THE FUCKING ICE CREAM PART IS LITERALLY ME its kind of sad
love the acoustics in this song :)
i'm in love with this song...
i really love it!!
Thought it said "No onion"
haha lol me too
Yeah can I get Bowling for soup, hold the onion.
I miss this band listend to them a lot growing up
Well, I like brown. My favorite boots, chocolate ice cream, ball pythons, gravy, and..... oh shit.
my first time hearing it already one of my many favourites....
Is a bonus track from The Great Burrito Extortion Case.
Used all day searching youtube for "Even I got standarts"
Then after a couple of hours, I realized it was "No opinion" I was searching for >.
this song was stuck in my head allll day!!
I love no opinion its. So awesome
Yh I get what you mean sometimes the song goes ahead of the slides fipping over. Thanks ill try that technique in my next video :).
This song dedicated to my ex copycat friend that I dumped years ago 🤭
this is fantastic
@TheDarkillua Basically it means changing into something else, thats my definition of it.
No, they're retiring from the UK. They're still a band just not touring in the UK. Watch the announcement video.
wow, Bowling For Soup is all over my life without me having known it. 1st unnoticed contact was with one of my fav childhood movies Jimmy Neutron, where they perform the theme song. then they play the Phineas and Ferb theme song. and finally Jaret worked on the ending theme of Sonic Unleashed, which i love. I've GOT to get some of their stuff!
LOVE this song =) anyone know where I could download it?
But most people dont have it so not many people have heard it
I'll put it like this. Everyone wants to be loved. Everyone expresses it in a different way, bad or good, depending on what they have been through and the perception of reality they carry around which to them is appearing to be the only or one of very few known ways.
And so, we get entangled in self-righteousness and judging everyone and everything. But the point is, people do what they do because they want to be loved.
It’s been about 3 years since i first heard this song. I still can’t find it on apple music
ooooh i see, sorry thanx though didnt know they had a announcement video :p
Lies are the same. Why do people lie? They don't want reveal the truth, 'cause they are afraid of being judged by others. If you know saying truth would make other person hate you, or it would lower their affection, or put an end to any chance of becoming closer to that person, or you'd lose that person etc.(all fears resulting in not being loved, or not as much as desired) Then you tell a lie, because you want to be loved or maintain the level of the love currently in place.
Mint song! love the power rangers bit :P
How is this not on Spotify?!?!?!?!?
This song is soo good !!!!
new favorite song :)
Great!
Wow... This song is awesome... o.O So original.. And so freakin' true... That girl's just sad... o.O
I like that song =)

I think they only made an acoustic version of this song.
can someone tell me why i haven’t heard this song in years but i still knew all the words
mystic wolf cause you used to sing along al night and didn’t get every single lyric wrong
yeah thats the last album they are gonna do they are doing a 'bid farewell tour' in the uk, ive seen it being advertised :/
Totally understand this song
XD this comment made my day. I have a really loud hiccup and I got the nickname vulture girl...that could contribute to something too XD
i personally prefer it when the lyrics are in the description aswell,u can then watch the video for a karaoke feel, or read description to acctually learn the lyrics

I thought when it was “She saw my T-Shirt” it was actually “She saw my teacher”
wow just let it go girl. don't try to be like everyone else just learn to disagree and everything will be alright :D
So sorry Bono
gr8 song...the lyrics seem so familiar
@GemMayBre Brown is a nice warm colour. Its kind of... cozy. But yeah my favourite colour is actually blue
@Seldi37 lol, in english we don't say "what for a genius" we say " what a genius"...i think O_o
=> was [FÜR] ein genie...(I'm German too)
HAHAHAHAHA I LOVE SO MUCH THAT SONG!
the best song.
Because I never heard any of his CD's and I never have thought to look it up....
@gUiTaRfReAk13550 I have noticed that I have actually spelt some of the words both the english way and the american way, but as it isnt really a big problem I didn't bother to redo it and upload it again.

@MusikCity1 finally! somebody understands!!! :D)))
this sounds like me...lol I just always want everyone to be happy lol
my opinion on this song is it rocks!!!!
Even if you don't like Led Zeppelin, how can you not have heard of Stairway to heaven?! It's the best song ever!
oh i have that book but i never read it is it good?
My history teacher always used to talk about this. People never have an opinion anymore.

@s2121sr I'm so going to be looking out for these words haha!
I never noticed any. I love coming and watching this vid btw
i know two of my friends are kinda that...makes me freak out sometimes!
well I have a new favorite song!
a guy told me he loved one band i like, and he was singing one of their songs, all the lyrics were wrong
hey what album is this on? my sister's got like 3 albums of theirs and not one has this song on lol
This so reminds me of myself 😂
Ohh gawwd it sounds like me :P I never can say what I like.... I really don't even know anything about myself...
Ahaha x) I actually know a girl like this xD
@TacktedChoas101 Thanks for the praise, It's a hard decision I dont know if to just try and prefect this style and I guess it makes me abit more unique when it comes lyrics videos.
I can't find this song on Itunes and idk why
try songliy
i have it ^^
@cookiecrazy56 grr...i always confuse those two...thnx for the help tho! :)
It's the eternal paradox, unprovable without being a hypocrite. But that should have been obvious by the time you finished reading, if only you gave it a little bit of thought.
this is like my friend, he is obsessed with everything i like and do! but seriously on the inside, i think he is more of a girl than i am
well this comment is old but sounds like he might be seeking approval because he admires you or is actually romantically interested. In fact its been long enough you probably figured it out lol
@egomez0725 hahahahahaha ! XD I liked
like from that book by that jerry guy?
How do you know you haven't heard it?
@emzii118 Thanks :)
