      Yeah pretty good learning aid for that but I gotta admit I think it's weird that 5 in Spanish is "cincocinco". I really feel like they could shorten that up to just "cinco". Get your language in order, Spanish speakers!

    I know I'm 7 months late to the party but, I have to say: I went to school with a kid that was like this. He tried so hard to hang with the brothers. But here's the thing, they would've hung with him if he'd just been himself. He told lies about being poor and from the hood. Then everybody found out he lived on the cul de sac and both of his parents were really wealthy. Then he just caught holy hell. This song came out 2 years after I graduated but I remember hearing it for the 1st time and just laughing till it hurt because they were literally singing about Tim. Full circle, he's dad retired from his engineering job and ended up being my daughter's bus driver 🤣

  • @Cheryltwin2012
    @Cheryltwin2012 Год назад +5

    Back in the days when people could laugh at each other, instead of everyone getting their proverbial panties in a bunch over something that's supposed to be funny. This is from the early 90's and there were a LOT of wannabes back then. This song makes fun of them but also is a pretty good tribute. Never cared too much for the song, but my nephew (who was about ten at the time) loved it.

    I have been a Offspring since day one. I'm a Metalhead and took my friend who is also a Metalhead to see them live at a small club (Capacity 1,500). He wasn't sold on going but I told him once you see them live you will understand. After the show he said it was the most fun he's ever had.

    I heard this song over a TRILLION times, and it still jams as brand new to me every time I hear it! An amazing song! I remember hearing it on the radio on a primarily 'black' radio station. I actually went out to buy the album! Then low and behold, after researching the group to see if they've made any more songs that jam with cool comedic flare, I discovered they made the theme song on one of my favorite video games (Crazy Taxi), and several other awesome tracks that was playing on the radio were by them too (Original Prankster, Come out and Play, I Choose, etc.)
    from there I just started collecting all their previous and following albums. Im simply a fan. Now only if they would come out to Miami and perform!

      @ArcaneAzmadi Год назад +1

      Hell yeah, it's not just the singles (this, Why Don't You Get A Job, The Kids Aren't Alright and She's Got Issues), the album is packed from cover-to-cover with classics. Have You Ever, Staring At The Sun, Americana and Pay The Man are my favourites- in fact I think Pay The Man may be the most-underrated song The Offspring ever recorded.
