In the 90's, we called this "new school". Never ever thought I'd hear it called "old-school". Old-school punk rock is mid-late 70's, such as Ramones, Clash, Damned, Stiff Little Fingers, etc.
Old School is cliche. I say, listen to what sounds good. Who gives an old peoples fuck if its from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, etc. It's music!. Enjoy it.

Im 39 and don’t recall seeing this video on MTV. But I didn’t watch much MTV after 96 or so. I do recall watching this music video on Real Player in super low quality with lots of “buffering” sounding like it was played on a toy transistor radio in a bathroom.
My first concert I ever went to was MxPx in Modesto, Ca back in the mid 90s and I have been a fan ever sense. They were my intro into punk music and I never looked back! Still one of my favorite bands to this day!
I remember seeing this on MTV circa 1998. The song, the humor, the subject matter--boffo. Purchased their albums ever since. Looking back 25 years, this kind "punk lite" was really great stuff, when they had good lyrics, good lyrical melodies, and powerful drums with simple power-chord guitars. IS THIS NOSTALGIA I FEEL??!
Memória desbloqueada 🥹 eu ouvia essa música na adolescência, até enviei ela como depoimento para um garoto no antigo Orkut. E cá estou eu, 2024, com 29 anos, ouvindo essa maravilha novamente ❤
When I joined the MxPx fan club in the early 2000’s, we got a bunch of pins with Yuri’s face on them. My sister and I used to put them in places for other people to find who had never heard of MxPx. Their reaction was priceless. I loved how MxPx never took themselves too seriously.
I loved them at the time... Haha... Until the guitarist I forgot his name was trying to steal my girlfriend, asking her to come backstage CALLING MY HOUSE.... its been 20 years since that. So I have gotten over it now but it was not cool at the time. Yuri has been timed as one of the fastest drummers of all time on a side note. Since this song is abt him of course haha.
So annoyed with myself! Just saw these guys like 2 weeks ago, Met Mike and talked to him for a bit, took photos of him with strangers and basically acted as an unassigned photographer, and then I forgot to take one of me with him for myself. Good job, me. Good job.
This was so fun when it came out on Sat. night TV. Was their having fun video & was great to see Yuri cut loose & be the chick magnet. A never forget, one in a million songs. They weren't actors, they were punk rawkers but it didn't matter. They were the best.
Still love raging to this song, never gets old. Miss you Mike HMU I've been at Alki Beach three years now, we should kick it this summer. Chick Magnet Chick Magnet Yeah!
Well he's a chick magnet, if ya know what I mean The way the girlies just go to him Well ya should've seen the guy yeah, he's got style and it's plain to see Smooth shoes and cool tattoos Hair pomped as tight as can be He ain't got a girlfriend No one to sing this song to He's gotta settle down If he meets that special girl soon He knows just what to do When it comes to the girls He writes them poetry And he picks them flowers He knows just what to say When it comes to the ladies Knows how to make a girl smile How to drive a girl crazy
Dude, Yuri walking in thru the glass door and ruffling his hair with full Pantene shampoo commercial panache and what appears to be a slight slow-mo effect is fucking hilarious. I don't know how I forgot about this song having an awesome video...
It sounds like is kind of imitating scat singing. A rehearsed imitation of the sound of scat singing. Also they snap and use very little guitar in that part. That way you hear mostly the bass so it sounds kind of jazz like so that it complements that singing style. @venger1989
I remember seeing this video when it came out. I cackled my ass off. Fucking stupid song. But catchy and still a million times better than the garbage today

The bald dude getting turned on at the end is hilariously perfect. Ha. Also like the dude getting kicked off the barstool at beginning. Excellent video and tune!
I was 14 when I first saw this video on MTV2 (then known as M2). Back then, I saw the guy in this video and thought, "There's no way THAT guy could be a chick magnet". Now I watch the video and think, "I could learn a thing or two from that guy, especially that salt shaker trick".
@Selestino84 sadly i was brainwashed by all the deathcore scene crap when i was a teenager. took me til my 20s to find these guys. Better late than never, they're awesome.
back in the day, when MTV 2 was M2... they played underground videos and vids from bands from before they had their big break, it was obscure shhit.... like No Doubt"trapped in a box", Smashing Pumpkins "Rhinoceros", Daft Punk "Da Funk" and yes, this *amazing* MXPX video.... sad MTV keeps selling out to "reality" TV bullshhit

The 70s stuff... call it "original school" now. 😅

That skat bit has been in my head for about 2 decades now
Me too! It's how I've remembered the song this whole time.
Always
Same
It never goes away. I've never heard such deliberate scatting before or since and probably never will.
His scat is seriously underrated
I can’t believe every word to this song is still buried deep in my brain 28 years later 🤯
It’s such a good song
one of the first bass riffs i learned to play... a whole 17 years ago.
Same! 25 yrs ago
The first bassline I learned to play back in 1999. I found my old bass in my parents' garage and it brought back old memories.
SAME hahaha
It's fuckin wild how this song was so many peoples first punk rock bass line they learned. Same here yahahaha
15 years here hahaha
2024 and still listening to mxpx
This song comes in my head randomly all the time. Saw them at the vans warped tour a few times in ventura
Are you a Mormon?
When i see my oldest son or my nephews out and about this always goes through my head
When I was a prison guard, just before I quit, I played this song on the bass while a prisoner played the guitar. Punk AF.
Thats badass

MXPX never get old🍻
❤️
Man, this type of music still hits me in the feels. Still jamming to this two decades later.
This year marks 28 years since its release. MxPx & the Supertones are 2 of my all time favorite bands I still love listening to.
Haven't heard this song since late 90s, had to hear it again, thanks RUclips.
Late 90's? This song came out in 2004
@@l.s.2234 1995
I just realized that he had chest hair drawn on with a brown marker. Awesome
Tattoo...
Lol
Hard to beat 90s videos

MXPX was me and my wife's first dates in the 90's...still going strong 20+ years
Nice! Congratulations! I can't even get a woman to look at me. Definitely not a chick magnet.
thats fuckin dope and wishin u many more years
I saw them 20 years ago and all I got was tinnitus. By far the loudest show I've ever been to.
And oh yeah, you aren't a bass player until you learn how to play this walk.
Walk?
True ...
This bass line is easy. I’m only 9 an I could play this bass line with one hand tied behind my back

It's just early pop punk. That's what it was referred to back then.
Did you say good lyrics?
How this has less than a million views is some kind of internet voodoo mystery.
awesome song

I love yuri and his introvert way 😍😍
I remember making many photocopies of a picture of Yuri from one on the CD booklets and hiding them all over for people to find.
Such a fun silly and good song back then and now. That bass lines rules.
I can just listen to the bass line over and over....sorta jazzy, and the scat singing is ridiculous
still listening in 2016 ..
still listening in 2021...
And I'm here listening to it on 2069
2020 still here.
yes
2024 🎉 32 years old 😅
I was an average joe, until I learned to do that magic trick with the french fries. Now the da ladies are all over me.
Make pop punk great again yall!!!

its funny cause when i saw these guys live yuri got soo many chicks it was insane. he really is a chick magnet.
Yuri is the man! Then and now. I hope Mike does some scat on the new album lol I forgot about that part in this song.
Still love raging to this song, never gets old. Miss you Mike HMU I've been at Alki Beach three years now, we should kick it this summer. Chick Magnet Chick Magnet Yeah!
I'm 37 now and I still remember how cool I felt when I learned the intro on the bass when I was in like 7th grade
Finally this video is up! Great memories!
One location video - classic. Love it all
Just listened to this today in my beat up mom-van, on a mix cd I found from high school 😆 all my friends used to play the bass part of this
god bless. we all get old together huh
This is such an early 2000s song! I love it!
Life in General came out in 96
This is mid 90's.
1996. I was in college.
Some people have issue believing that the 2000's didn't invent pop punk, but it is when it got the most popular.
This was absolutely one of my favorite MTV videos during the mid to late 90’s!
Had to come back and watch this after the new Cautious Optimistic video
Same! 😂
still listening 2015, good old days :)
I used to be in a band called "go feth" we cover mxpx all the way as we a also 3pc band. Gapo punks!!! Not dead!!!
Nice song mxpx 👏
So I haven't heard this since the 90s and it just popped in my head in 2021
First song I learned on bass, I was so young I can't even remember when
such a catchy bass line
Their drummer is just amazing :)
Well he's a chick magnet, if ya know what I mean
The way the girlies just go to him
Well ya should've seen
the guy yeah, he's got style and it's plain to see
Smooth shoes and cool tattoos
Hair pomped as tight as can be
He ain't got a girlfriend
No one to sing this song to
He's gotta settle down
If he meets that special girl soon
He knows just what to do
When it comes to the girls
He writes them poetry
And he picks them flowers
He knows just what to say
When it comes to the ladies
Knows how to make a girl smile
How to drive a girl crazy
I just like the way he's a nerd the entire time..
dobrze ze w tym zespole byl jeden polak gitarzysta ... tez chcialbym byc chick magnet ;]:) moze kiedys
one of the first songs when i first got an ipod :D
And I leave a comment to bring you back and have fond memories of your sad neglected ipod
I used to work with a bloke when this some come out, his nickname was 'Magnet' ironically of course... we made this song his anthem. good times...
Nobody REALLY wants a "Chick Magnet". Love u Mxpx for your Wisdom.
Great song!!
I like life in general album.. Maybe this is best album mxpx
This is even better than I remembered!!!!
To me, that is the essence of punk. Fuck what other people think they know about it, just play what you feel. Play it loud, play it proud
Dude, Yuri walking in thru the glass door and ruffling his hair with full Pantene shampoo commercial panache and what appears to be a slight slow-mo effect is fucking hilarious. I don't know how I forgot about this song having an awesome video...
You need to play at "MATT FEST" 2022 in Moville, Iowa this summer !
The sharpied on chest hair is my favorite part
the most underrated a capela solo ever!
Thanks for posting

I seen this on MTV in the 1990s when I had cable TV in my own apartment.
favorite mxpx song.
Seeing this video on TBN brought me here......when I was 12
Love this song
how does this not have 18 trillion views?!
2:06 'I'm smoking a fry!' is a killer.
Videos from the 90s. Gotta love it lol.
I remember seeing this video when it came out. I cackled my ass off. Fucking stupid song. But catchy and still a million times better than the garbage today
Catchy tune, nice.
Under rated band for sure
Video Director: "You guys just sit in this booth and look at this plate of fries while he sings. We've got a music video!" Genius.

that dance at the end...that is the end all be all of human existence....my god I love it so....
watching this it's jarring how modern it really seems....even the girls in the vid, with the nose ring....it's like time flattened

I remember listening to this album in my CD player on the bus on. My way to school. I copied this dudes style so hard then lol
A1 on fries though? It is this based on a true story?
@hanogano1 That is actually the drummer in MxPx..
I was a teenager growing up in Seattle in the 90s I saw pokinatcha punk stickers EVERYWHERE. Waited constantly to hear this song on The End.
try old school punk, as in late 70's.... 99 was pop punk. but still fun none the less
They look like they had so much fun making this vid. XD
I would love to go to see MxPx in there Punk Rawk show
"Do you know" ? the resemblance is uncanny!
Mike Herrera.Love him.
still got my shirt from when these lads came to town
Met Yuri back in '06. I was 13. Nicest guy ever.
Still listening in 2021..
