Swear to god, this song never ages. 200 years from now it’ll be just as good as it is right now. Just sayin. Imo, easily one of the most underrated songs ever written.
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
***** 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.
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
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
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.
Lol I been listening to this band since I was 12-13. I’m turnin 31 this year. Back then it was just catchy fun music. Now the lyrics hit me so differently. Literally one of my top bands of all times and truly two of the best dudes to ever hit the music industry. Nostalgia everytime I turn on the Losing Streak album. Brings me back to such such simple times where all I had to do was be a kid and love life. Ahhhhhhh.
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'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 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 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.
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
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.
The amazing thing about this song is that it cures a sense of hopelessness. Not because it makes me want to change how I am, but it feels good to know that other people are just as fucked up as i am.
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.
This was the second song I heard with LTJ and also the one that make me fall in love with the band! As a codependent I always felt all their songs to the bones! Will miss Vinnie :3
The fact that this video came out so many years ago just makes me upset. Less Than Jake has been and will always be my all time favorite band and I can't wait to see them on Warped Tour again this year. Still can't believe they are rocking on Warped to be honest, but I'm glad they keep going.
“So I sit and wait wonder, Does anyone else feel like me? Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self esteems” I never thought a ska song would hit home at 36 years old but here I am.
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.
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
Shawn Fields I'm 26 and I'm suffering for a mistake I made at 19 it's hard to not be consumed by self loathing and depression don't be like me if you're whole try and be happy:)
This song is so good that people don't pay enough attention to the fantastic Terry Gilliam/Punk hybrid animation in the video, every inch of this song from track to video is a masterpiece.

Swear to god, this song never ages. 200 years from now it’ll be just as good as it is right now. Just sayin. Imo, easily one of the most underrated songs ever written.
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...
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
"Self-deprecation seems ok, I never thought I'd make it anyway." Fucking Brilliant.
never have these lyrics resonated with me as hard as they do now
Every year, over and over, anyone?
same
That's Me as I sit and wait and wonder. Looks just like me. They were filming me from the future
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.
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
A band that evolves with its listeners is the best kind of band
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
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.
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
@@erickmazur807"I'm so far gone"?
God please lets go back to these times and stay there! Everyone got along and shit was so much easier
So true
Everyone always thinks it was better back in the day..... Being young was easy. Real life isn't always easy....
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
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
Just saw these guys perform last night in Grand Rapids! Great show!
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
1984 brotha here still bumping this in 2024. Will never get old.
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.

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
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
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 Roger's voice :)
I could honestly listen to this song all day long.....
I only found about it two days ago.. been on repeat ever since
Can’t wait to see this live tonight in Santa Cruz 10/15/2024
How was the show?
Lol I been listening to this band since I was 12-13. I’m turnin 31 this year. Back then it was just catchy fun music. Now the lyrics hit me so differently.

Your not alone years ago i was too when i heard this song an likewise stuck with me
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.
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" :)
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.
It's nice to see a band with actual talent for once. Great song great band!!
One of the best songs ever... Thank you Less than Jake
Roger singing is the sweetist thing ever 💕
Saw them at Riot fest last weekend. They were great!! Had tons of energy, sounded great, and played my favorite songs.
Best ska song ever written...still listen to this ALL THE TIME. Great record all together.
83 here still fighting myself.
86, hey pal.
Hows the 40's boet
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 🤙
I love this song so much. Like someone else said, I could listen to it all day.
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
@@nagsterthegangster I also found a 7 year old comment of mine here lmfao. Look at us still liking good music.
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
the sun is shining, listening to Less than Jake, it's going to be another good day.
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
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.
Still a banger.
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.
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'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.
I'm overdosed on empathy but down on sympathy.
He has such a lovely smile. like its beautiful. 😍
The chillest song every! Everytime I go to the beach I listen to this song. My favorite ska punk band ever!!!!!!!!
1:13 Jesus, how did he manage to hit that note so well???
With that raspy-ness no less. Friggin genius!
Less Than Jake has been one of my favorite bands ever since I bought losing streak over a decade ago. Amazing music.
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.
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.
Hell yeah, saw these guys live at Warped Tour two years ago, amazingly underrated band!
2019 and still listening 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Growing up skateboarding in Florida these guys were always a favorite. Hometown heroes.
literally the greatest song to put on in the morning on the way to work.
2:41 That face... it has so much meaning.
STONED
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 a timeless song
Replace "liquor store" with "arcade", and "kitchen floor" with "Couch", and this is my anthem. Stay strong out there guys.
"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
Love thier vinyl packaging the lucky charms box the pizza box so creative and fun gives fans great collectible content
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
Beautiful song thank u unc for putting me on. Story of my life
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.
This band always sounds like if nofx and rancid had a child. And i love it
I hear that 🔥😘
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.
The amazing thing about this song is that it cures a sense of hopelessness. Not because it makes me want to change how I am, but it feels good to know that other people are just as fucked up as i am.
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.
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 .
0:12 That smile makes me think he had a really good time filming this
Same, Roger is just too cute 😂
Rogers vocal have like a very happy upbeat...he could sing a real depressing song but u could be happy about it
@@gatorez4811 yeah, for real. 😂
Summer of ‘21. Still love this song.
Still love this song in 2022
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.
his voice is absolutely amazing
This was the second song I heard with LTJ and also the one that make me fall in love with the band! As a codependent I always felt all their songs to the bones! Will miss Vinnie :3
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.
This is the absolute greatest song ever
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...
Finally got to see these guys last night… Such a great band!
this song is part of my life and im okay with that
Just came here after hearing Chris DeMakes podcast talking with Roger about this song. It doesn’t get old!
The fact that this video came out so many years ago just makes me upset. Less Than Jake has been and will always be my all time favorite band and I can't wait to see them on Warped Tour again this year. Still can't believe they are rocking on Warped to be honest, but I'm glad they keep going.
I can imagine them feeling, "This is gold" when they cut this track. Flawless song.
Great song by a great band they still make kick ass albums
“So I sit and wait wonder, Does anyone else feel like me? Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self esteems”
I never thought a ska song would hit home at 36 years old but here I am.
I never thought... I'd make it anyway!
I can't help but scream this out every time I hear it.
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.
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 moved out of my parents 11 years ago, and found this cd in my old room and had to blast it for old times sake....great stuff
I can totally relate. I've loved Less Than Jake since way back 👍👍
I had this CD in highschool and liked it but somehow this song has growed a lot and It's now a classic.
this song describes my life
Trust me, you're far from alone
and mine
yup same here 22. still making fucking excuses.
Shawn Fields I'm 26 and I'm suffering for a mistake I made at 19 it's hard to not be consumed by self loathing and depression don't be like me if you're whole try and be happy:)
Sorry mate
Punk/Ska rock will forever have a special place in my heart.
how does this have only have 2 million views
Yeah
UBBERTANKER I'm pretty surprised for that
At some point the world will realize how incredibly awesome bands and songs like this were
this song is so good, so heaven on earth
It's been years since I've listened to these guys. I just nostalgia'd all over the floor.
It's the fucking best
its weird when you hear a song that completely describes your life and when you really listen to the lyrics its depressing.
I love Ska! It makes even tragic lyric sound so happy & fun.
This song is so good that people don't pay enough attention to the fantastic Terry Gilliam/Punk hybrid animation in the video, every inch of this song from track to video is a masterpiece.
This my fav song... To start my day
