in the early 2000s, cartoon network commissioned a bunch of songs and music videos for new and old cartoons. one of them was for Jabberjaw, an old Scooby-Doo clone about a shark in a band in an underwater city. it’s one of my favorite ska songs, despite the band who made it (Pain) insisting they hate ska. some combination of “cartoon groovies” “jabberjaw” and “running underwater” should bring up the video
it's impossible to count the times these guys have pulled me from the edge. every new album they release seems to be exactly where i am in my life, so thank you less than jake. I owe you guys my life
Couldn't say it better myself. Every time I needed something relatable in all the chaos, they released something bang on time. "Look What Happened".... holy sh*t, that should be a national anthem
Everyday I fell more and more identified by this song. At first it was the rythim, then some lines and now the whole song. I've listening to this at least once a week for the past 2 years now... crazy.
***** Talent should be more important than fucking looks. They may look similar but Chris and just Less Than Jake in general is much better than Green Day ever was, but i agree that Green Day was good back in the day.
This song has so much meaning to me. i interpreted some of the lyrics differently but basically I had no friends was depressed and wallowed in self pity feeling like there was nothing i could do about it. When i hear "i drank my frustrations" i think about how i was addicted to codiene promethazine cough syrup & vicodin & how i was using them to cope with stress. i realized that i was my own worst enemy because of this song. now im much more stable and have much more close friends. THANKS LTJ
I still love this song (and this band) after sooo many years... They will always be one of my favourites. ♡ I remember dancing and singing to their albums in my room when I was 17 years old... Now I'm 32 and I still love them. :) Of course I don't listen to them very often anymore - but everytime I DO, it just throws me back to those times.. :)
I'm surprised this song wasn't more successful. It's catchy as hell. I guess people don't like horns in their rock music. And why did they take the horns out of the bridge in this video? wtf?
I work as a line cook in a chain pub and corporate has decided that I have to hear this song at least once every shift. I'd never heard it before but now it's irreversibly stuck in my head forever.
Leave it up to Ska to do what it always does by taking the crappy things life has to offer and vent your frustrstuons positively. Every once in a while I get on a Ska kick and discover something new. This band is new to me and I love the mellow flow.
I blast this shit near children to try to get them to listen to old good stuff. They actually like it. Well some do, some give me the bird. It's about 50/50
A lot of different styles of music come and go, but yeah, it's a shame. I don't give a fuck; I listen to the same shit I did when I was in high school/college. I'm 34.
First heard this song in the early 00s from my brother when I was very young. I listen to it all the time. Not to be bleak, but it is in my living will for this song to be played at my funeral. It's perfect in every way.
I love that song by streetlight manisfesto! I hear you. My favorite by reel big fish is their "take on me" cover. Man have you heard of the Planet Smashers? If not, go check them out. very good ska
My dad was the lead singer's best friend in high school, when they were both living in Port Charlotte. We still see him wandering around the mall sometimes. I never knew his band was big enough to hit millions of views on RUclips almost twenty years later. Crazy, but cool!
They were pretty big at the time, at least as far as “big” ska-pop-punk bands ago lol. I don’t like ska generally but this is about as tight of a single as you could help to write
I hung out with these guys and they're very humble and really fucking cool. I was 17 maybe 18 and I met them backstage at a Warped Tour. Hung out for a couple of hours and was basically living on a friends couch and didn't have shit. I got food, cigs and beer. I met Pennywise too so it was a awesome night to say the least for a punk rocker like myself.
Hell yeah dude, I met Roger at Warped Tour years ago, he was just hanging out at their tent and selling their merch himself. He was such a nice and humble guy and he signed my ticket.
This song almost literally talks to you, and I don't know if it's for empathy of the writer or his self-connection that he wrote this, but I feel so listened without even giving a word.
When this album first came out, I truly didn't appreciate it, over the years it has earned its place in my LTJ collection and I am irritated with my past self for hating it
Now you get to enjoy it fresh! It's a blessing in disguise! Like not seeing a really good movie yet - sure you "missed out" but what did you miss out on? You get the experience when you enjoy the movie, not from speaking of the experience :D Jokes aside I know whatcha mean: passing over a song in the past that has lyrics that hit home later is kinda like nostalgia: bittersweet.
The Science Of Selling Yourself Short I've come to my senses That I've become senseless I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships Every last conviction, I smoked them all away I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way So I sit and wait and wonder "Does anyone else feel like me?"

I'm so overdosed on apathy and put down on sympathy I'll sing along Yeah with every emergency Just sing along I'm the king of catastrophies I'm so far gone That deep down inside I think it's fine by me I'm my own worst enemy Let the meaning slip away Lost my faith in another day Self deprication seems okay I never thought I'd make it anyway I'll sing along Yeah with every emergency Just sing along I'm the king of catastrophies I'm so far gone That deep down inside I think it's fine by me I'm my own worst enemy I'm my own worst enemy I'm my own worst enemy I'm my own worst enemy I'm my own worst enemy
Seen them in Nashville 3 years ago when I loved there. Really reminded me how much has changed. I wore a Hollister shirt for a dinner earlier. Lol we treated like they're headlining the garden. They were awesome.

This song is a perfect example of ska. Catchy, upbeat rhythm, downbeat lyrics! Fantastic!
Hit the nail on the head
Often find it hard to describe ska punk. From now on, it'll be easy
@@KrytoRift ok
@@KrytoRift um how...

A band that evolves with its listeners is the best kind of band

AGREED! So many of "my theme songs" are Less than Jake, and theyre never not applicable.
@@onequestiononly IDK about that, us LTJ fans love their music but their music isn't meant for a mainstream audience unfortunately.
Everyday I fell more and more identified by this song. At first it was the rythim, then some lines and now the whole song.
I've listening to this at least once a week for the past 2 years now... crazy.
We all feel this way. Thank god for a band that gets it.
Someone needs a Snickers.
It really is a brilliant song on the human condition.
+Kevin Raud and as always, I'm back here.
Me too
"Self-deprecation seems ok, I never thought I'd make it anyway." Fucking Brilliant.
83 here still fighting myself.
One of the fucking most catchy songs I've ever heard. These guys are so good. They were my first concert.
You should probably be embarrassed by that comment
***** clearly you know green day too, so..?
***** though he does have a point chris back in those days did look like billy joe armstrong but he doesn't anymore
***** Talent should be more important than fucking looks. They may look similar but Chris and just Less Than Jake in general is much better than Green Day ever was, but i agree that Green Day was good back in the day.
Brian McEnnerney same here as the first concert.
I listened to this song before I even understood its meaning. Now it describes me to a T. It's a perfect example of how music transcends time.
Yes indeed
I've come to my senses that I've become senseless. What a brilliant opening line.
I could give you lessons. How to ruin your friendships... Every line is clever
Its from a real place lol
Ive woken from benders and told myself some of these lyrics lol
I could honestly listen to this song all day long.....
I only found about it two days ago.. been on repeat ever since
1985 baby Still bumping this in 2022
I feel you bro
Still bumping here 2023
1993 baby...LTJ for life, motherf*cker!
Got a year on you bro. Keep going
2007 here going to bring this back
Roger singing is the sweetist thing ever 💕
1984 brotha here still bumping this in 2024. Will never get old.
I love this song so much. Like someone else said, I could listen to it all day.
This song has so much meaning to me. i interpreted some of the lyrics differently but basically I had no friends was depressed and wallowed in self pity feeling like there was nothing i could do about it.

I remember when this played on Fuse all the time... and started singing it at work out of the blue the other day. I remember how much I loved it.
By some divine miracle, this song came on 97x the other day. It was one of the greatest moments of my life.
What city is that radio station out of?
I'm guessing Tampa Bay, Florida: www.97xonline.com/
Hey, remember that time 7 years ago this song came on the radio for ya!? Good times mate! :D
@@nagsterthegangster3548 I also found a 7 year old comment of mine here lmfao. Look at us still liking good music.
Best ska song ever written...still listen to this ALL THE TIME. Great record all together.
Just saw these guys perform last night in Grand Rapids! Great show!
Anyone 2024?
Ayooo
Right here
🫡🇬🇧
if your not listening to this in 2024...good luck
Yep
today was great...it was 66 in january..im acing all of my classes...its friday and this song made it 20x better
i love how they mix the trumpet and sax in their songs. this band has originallity...something most bands cant even grasp :D
My childhood was fire. Seen these guys 7x.
I saw them twice, but I would go again. They put on a great performance.
i saw them 5 times at the rave in Milwaukee, wi. lost shoes, glasses, and friends in the mosh pits there
I still love this song (and this band) after sooo many years... They will always be one of my favourites. ♡ I remember dancing and singing to their albums in my room when I was 17 years old... Now I'm 32 and I still love them. :) Of course I don't listen to them very often anymore - but everytime I DO, it just throws me back to those times.. :)
Same but I'm 25 and when this was my song I was probably 15 😂
33 still dancing in my room
@@jeffzepp494 That's how it should be! 😊
I'm surprised this song wasn't more successful. It's catchy as hell. I guess people don't like horns in their rock music. And why did they take the horns out of the bridge in this video? wtf?
I think that's what makes them all the more original
Dude there's still horns in the bridge. But I like ska. Band's from the era are good.
Ben Suby
Listen to the album version and compare it to this version. They definitely took some horns out of the bridge for this version.
Akksol Hmmm wtf you're right, the sax is gone ~2:00 bridge
It's hard to know why certain songs are not a hit. It's kind of haphazard as to what's a hit and what's not.
First time ever listening to this band, I only regret not listening to them sooner such a good song
Yes just yes
Same. Luckily they have a ton of albums. Next year will be 30 years 🤙
The lyrics of this song are so gooooood. "I'm so far gone that deep down inside I think it's fine by me that I'm my own worst enemy" :)
Growing up skateboarding in Florida these guys were always a favorite. Hometown heroes.
I work as a line cook in a chain pub and corporate has decided that I have to hear this song at least once every shift. I'd never heard it before but now it's irreversibly stuck in my head forever.
Your not alone years ago i was too when i heard this song an likewise stuck with me
It's nice to see a band with actual talent for once. Great song great band!!
Leave it up to Ska to do what it always does by taking the crappy things life has to offer and vent your frustrstuons positively. Every once in a while I get on a Ska kick and discover something new. This band is new to me and I love the mellow flow.
a first i didnt really like this song, but as i listened to it several times it grew on me and now, 100 or so views later, here we are
Yea same here. Love the pic of reggie btw
Daniel Grosch it's a late bloomer sometimes, but it always ends up growing in you.
I’m following the same path
Love thier vinyl packaging the lucky charms box the pizza box so creative and fun gives fans great collectible content
I love Roger's voice :)
2019 and still listening 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Saw them at Riot fest last weekend. They were great!! Had tons of energy, sounded great, and played my favorite songs.
This bands going on my arm right there with my other grew up wow Kool people and amazing in concert. Keep it up love me some less😮😊😊😊😊
I really need to listen to this band more. Not familiar with a lot of their songs, but every song i know by them is so damn good
Start with Losing streak
They're also fantastic live
How did this genre become unpopular!?
I blast this shit near children to try to get them to listen to old good stuff.
They actually like it. Well some do, some give me the bird. It's about 50/50
***** Nah, full rage mode.
the puberty over!!! i used listening less than jake and blink 182
S H IDK man. I love ska and it sucks that I wasn't alive when it was popular. I was born in 98 you see so I just missed it
A lot of different styles of music come and go, but yeah, it's a shame. I don't give a fuck; I listen to the same shit I did when I was in high school/college. I'm 34.
The chillest song every! Everytime I go to the beach I listen to this song. My favorite ska punk band ever!!!!!!!!
This band always sounds like if nofx and rancid had a child. And i love it
I hear that 🔥😘
He has such a lovely smile. like its beautiful. 😍
This song really helped me get through my depression.
Fick ya
This song was made for us brother
@@mr.e-machine9422 You're not wrong. If you haven't go see Less Than Jake live. Singing this one with the crowd feels great.
I missed my chance to see them years ago
Me to dude
love less then jake , i lived in gainesville for 12 yrs , the band is the best live! when i hear this song it makes me think of sublime .
Less Than Jake has been one of my favorite bands ever since I bought losing streak over a decade ago. Amazing music.
the sun is shining, listening to Less than Jake, it's going to be another good day.
literally the greatest song to put on in the morning on the way to work.
First heard this song in the early 00s from my brother when I was very young. I listen to it all the time. Not to be bleak, but it is in my living will for this song to be played at my funeral. It's perfect in every way.
Great song, great band roger rocks!
my all time favorite ska song.
+biinbox You're a dog. Dogs cannot post comments on youtube. You are a very special dog.
+Tim Pathos thanks mate.
defiantly top 5. stiff competition with streetlight manifesto "would you be impressed" and real big fish "she has a girlfriend now" and "beer"
I love that song by streetlight manisfesto! I hear you. My favorite by reel big fish is their "take on me" cover. Man have you heard of the Planet Smashers? If not, go check them out. very good ska
definetely
I was 14 when this song was released. I didn't understand it back then, but at 28 I sure as hell understand it now!
God damn 4 years ago? Where the hell did the time go? I still feel the same way at 33 years old.
Summer of ‘21. Still love this song.
his voice is absolutely amazing
My dad was the lead singer's best friend in high school, when they were both living in Port Charlotte. We still see him wandering around the mall sometimes. I never knew his band was big enough to hit millions of views on RUclips almost twenty years later. Crazy, but cool!

ItsThisDude69 You only say that stuff online
Ikr if he said that in person he would get shit kicked outta him dont tell ppl to kill themselves its messed up
noble1 wpb fuck yeah lol
I met these guys 2011 Warp Tour good guys.
dude, you know how many of us over privileged suburban skaters would have killed to have that? lol
up from the ashes is the best album ever.
Hell yeah dude, I met Roger at Warped Tour years ago, he was just hanging out at their tent and selling their merch himself. He was such a nice and humble guy and he signed my ticket.
This is the absolute greatest song ever
Still love this song 😻
"so i sit and wait and wonder, does anyone else feel like me. im so overdosed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy."
you aint the one
this is a timeless song
this song is the story of my life! this has been my fav song for like two years straight now! sweet artististic video too.
It's been years since I've listened to these guys. I just nostalgia'd all over the floor.
I've been a fuck up pretty much since I was a teen, I'm 35 now and this song still resonates with me too much, a depressed bitter alcoholic.
This song almost literally talks to you, and I don't know if it's for empathy of the writer or his self-connection that he wrote this, but I feel so listened without even giving a word.
Daamn been so long since this song was released!!
this is such a feel good song.
you cant help but jam to it :)
1:13 Jesus, how did he manage to hit that note so well???
With that raspy-ness no less. Friggin genius!
Hell yeah, saw these guys live at Warped Tour two years ago, amazingly underrated band!
its 2024 and still listening this song! still one of my fav. songs
I didn't know Toby Mcguire sang and played bass! Awesome!
akapoop06 He looks nothing like Tobey McGuire...? 😂 or however you spell his name.
I've been listening to Less Than Jake since the 90's. They have so much talent. Love it.
You are a man with good taste in music! 👍I became a fan around 2001-2002 when I first heard Hello Rockview.
Still love this song in 2022
I love Ska! It makes even tragic lyric sound so happy & fun.
Still one of my favorites
Anyone else here in covid-19 quarantine? Just me?
just you
IM MY OWN WORST ENEMYYY!!!
I'll sing along..
Ay
Yes, this song reminds me of simpler days...
When this album first came out, I truly didn't appreciate it, over the years it has earned its place in my LTJ collection and I am irritated with my past self for hating it
Same here , Paul.
Me too. I loved this song like 3 years after anthem dropped
Now you get to enjoy it fresh! It's a blessing in disguise! Like not seeing a really good movie yet - sure you "missed out" but what did you miss out on? You get the experience when you enjoy the movie, not from speaking of the experience :D
Jokes aside I know whatcha mean: passing over a song in the past that has lyrics that hit home later is kinda like nostalgia: bittersweet.
This is one of the greatest songs I heard in my whole LIFE. AND believe me. I heard a fuckin lot.
Yes. Thats the way.
Love the bass line
2:41 That face... it has so much meaning.
STONED
Great song by a great band they still make kick ass albums
I loved when I saw them in Baltimore years ago. Them and Reel Big Fish were a great combo.
Finally got to see these guys last night… Such a great band!
The Science Of Selling Yourself Short
I've come to my senses
That I've become senseless
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way
So I sit and wait and wonder
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems
I'll sing along
Yeah with every emergency
Just sing along
I'm the king of catastrophies
I'm so far gone
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me
I'm my own worst enemy
I could be an expert on co-dependency
I could write the best book on underage tragedy
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor
So I sit and wait and wonder
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
I'm so overdosed on apathy and put down on sympathy
I'll sing along
Yeah with every emergency
Just sing along
I'm the king of catastrophies
I'm so far gone
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me
I'm my own worst enemy
Let the meaning slip away
Lost my faith in another day
Self deprication seems okay
I never thought I'd make it anyway
I'll sing along
Yeah with every emergency
Just sing along
I'm the king of catastrophies
I'm so far gone
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me
I'm my own worst enemy
I'm my own worst enemy
I'm my own worst enemy
I'm my own worst enemy
I'm my own worst enemy
I can totally relate. I've loved Less Than Jake since way back 👍👍
I still love ska and ska punk from the 90s and early 00s. I don’t see that changing any time soon.
Here in 2024 still streaming 🥰😍😍😍
Saw them last night in Manchester UK with Zebrahead and Reel Big Fish... Never knew much about LTJ before but really dug them live. Epic show.
i caught the same gig in nottingham, quality live band
ohshit mrjimjah
And I saw the same in Norwich on Monday... they were all awesome!
Annoyed I missed that gig, what an awesome line up! Saw LTJ back in 2004 at Manchester Academy and they were great then.
when I was young I thought this means the science of selling your own shorts
LMAOOO
Roger is awesome he is an amazing vocalist and bassist
Absolutely love this song
this song is so good, so heaven on earth
this song is part of my life and im okay with that
Kristy. 2/1/2020. I still love this song.
Seen them in Nashville 3 years ago when I loved there. Really reminded me how much has changed. I wore a Hollister shirt for a dinner earlier. Lol we treated like they're headlining the garden. They were awesome.
I'm overdosed on empathy but down on sympathy.
i cant believe it's been 8 years since LTJ released this awesome song.Time flies like an arrow...
And I cant believe its been 16 years now... sooo old...
Punk/Ska rock will forever have a special place in my heart.
Happy New Year from Thailand and i am still listening this song on 1 January,2021
how does this have only have 2 million views
Yeah
UBBERTANKER I'm pretty surprised for that
i love how the dude looks all surprised in the beginning then he made a smile lol
Roger's smile is precious
love these lyrics!!! my anthem atm
I never thought... I'd make it anyway!
I can't help but scream this out every time I hear it.
