[rizocarpaso]

THE SINGER LOOKS LIKE DEXTER HOLLAND. YEAH... OFFSPRING RULES !!!!

[dontcarejeezwtf]

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is way better than this boring pop punk band. unfortunate that the two will always be linked because of this dumb song

[bjarcher705]

Hey everybody, The Ataris put two new songs up on itunes caled the graveyard of the atlantic and all souls day. They are both awsome! the Ataris are definatly going back two their older style, its so cool!

Back, when the Ataris were good....

[luccamazza77]

i just don't get what the title of the song has to do with the lyrics

[sniping]

@luccamazza77 Watch Bill & Ted's excellent adventure ;)

[Austin20155]

@luccamazza77 Does it matter? xD 

[EvanENVIOUS]

@luccamazza77 "San Dimas High School football rules!" is a quote from the movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. In the song Kris sings, "We crashed in a motel room leading up to that first kiss/Searching for a high school that we know doesn't exist"

[luccamazza77]

@EvanENVIOUS I now just watched the movie, I noticed the quote, I just don't get the lyrics now. What's with "We crashed in a motel room leading up to that first kiss/Searching for a high school that we know doesn't exist" ?

[EvanENVIOUS]

@luccamazza77 The fictional high school is San Dimas High School.

[luccamazza77]

@EvanENVIOUS alright, its clearing up now.. haha thanks

[PIGd3stroyer]

God. High school all over again. Late 90's, what's up?! I miss you!!!!

[reclusedxx]

I forgot about this song for almost 8 years, maybe more. i was in high school. Saw them live in Warped tour and it brings back so many memories. This was me and my ex girlfriends song.....Damn, i'm getting old.

[eunna01]

^_^. so great :).. and when i was be.. i covered the saddest song... my teacher ask me if i wrote that song.. haha..i said,, no mam :)). yehey!! ;)).. i was so cool..

[delling311]

I really wish I didn't miss you MLPS.

[theamericankids]

i lived in san dimas...and im seeing them tomorrow. score

[jrack13]

@theamericankids is there a san dimas high school?

[theamericankids]

@jrack13 heck yeah there is, San Dimas Saints. 

[WinningisforLosers]

I had been dating a boy for a week when he gave me a comp tape and asked me to listen to this song. He's been my husband for 7 years now.

[Xergius]

@WinningisforLosers yikes...how old's the boy now?

[WinningisforLosers]

@Xergius We're both 25.

[Roberco]

Gonna see them in San Antonio on Aug 29th - can't wait!!

[Smallmo123]

eww

[opeysteven]

haha i went to san dimas...and we won cif last year haha!!!!

[johnnydinheiraum]

nostalgia!

[oscob]

was just watching bill and teds excellent adventure and had to check out this song, hadnt listened to it in years. wasnt as good as i remembered.

[bleeding1mascara]

reminds me of high school and past relationships, would be a good song to play at the grad dance

[mchri1722009]

he sounds partially retarded no lie...

[TehRimjobber]

San Dimas High School Football RULES!

[vibebreaker]

I love this song!

[londunhill]

Great song, shame its got such a bad sound quality...

[yuffington]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rayfinkleace]

kris is awesome!

[arunr01]

the singers a joke...

[yesh0yesh0yesh]

these guys are playing tonight at swayzes with treephort and have you seen my ghost. and im probably not going. and it makes me sad.

[chuckmastazero]

i never really liked this band...and saw them at wapred tour one time, and it further affirmed my suspicions that they suck...if you like them, thats cool, but definitely not for me.

[footballkid47]

High School Football does RULE !! Legit tune

[peter2440]

saw this band at the astoria before it was shut down... definatly some irony there... amazing band!!!

[corymilo]

your english teacher must have been a complete dumbass. The lyrics for this song are pretty lame.

[AceTheSniperBorger]

@corymilo Could you go be an asshole on some metal bands thread, not here buddy.

[melloncollieromance]

@corymilo I agree, the lyrics are nothing to rave about... even for high school standards. Oh well, I suppose her teacher just stopped caring about her job a long time ago.

[recycleee]

I seriously love 'em ... So Long, Astoria was an amazing album and I grew up with it in middle school. WOW does it bring back memories.

Saw hem live shortly after they released Welcome the Night and was highly disappointed in the different direction that album was going in ... they played this song during that show and slowed it down a LOT, it wasn't this version that I love, that was disappointing. Well, I still love 'em :)

[anewfoundfreak]

saw them in a basement on "anywhre but here" tour. fire marshall only let 100 in. i was # 17

[ElHilliaro]

Awesome band. I have pretty much all of their albums. They don't get nearly as much recognition as they deserve.

[pray4chicken]

lol man everyone had those silver ball necklaces back in the late 90's

[flukemmvii]

@pray4chicken i want one, and short hair, awesome, this could really work, thanks

[oxninjaxturtlexo]

a boy once dedicated this song to me....

[jaishammer1]

what did you do to him afterwards...?

i would have slaped him in the face...

[Villiaam]

worst shit ive heard

[tehfluffynuts]

so back when i was in high school, for english class, we were assigned to write a poem or something, and i turned in the lyrics to this song, didn't even change the name, and the teacher liked it so much she read it to the whole class and every other class she had...nobody knew the truth...just goes to show i was the only cool kid in my school ;-)

[raith1986]

hahahahah, u remind me of me

[shelleyscene]

dude, watch out for copyright infringement. you'd be fucked!

[tehfluffynuts]

well this was 10 years ago, but it would be pretty damn funny if a) she still teaches, and b) she still reads the poem lmao...one kid did know the name was from bill & ted haha

[Lhilee]

now if she ever stumbles upon this song, she will think you became a songwriter :P or are in the band haha

[thevaginalking]

@tehfluffynuts hell yeah bro...plagerism at finest fool :D ataris fucking rock....

[londunhill]

@tehfluffynuts A stroke of genius ;)

[ordinary7sasha]

@tehfluffynuts Ur a freakin impostor, dude! Shame!

[miiiklopez]

or maybe how good the song is?? maybe lol

[dicksalad1122]

@tehfluffynuts that story is righteous. well done.

[fishnz1]

@tehfluffynuts I've done that before, not with this song though :)

[sabradan]

@tehfluffynuts It also shows that you're a plaigirist.

[Schredhead]

@sabradan

hahaha dude cmon you really can't see the funny/awesome side of what this dude did? pule the pole out of your dick hole

[Schredhead]

@tehfluffynuts

that...

is awesome

[puredemocracy]

@tehfluffynuts haha thats pretty great

[LlLnig]

@tehfluffynuts you're fucking brilliant

[LiliumCruorem]

@tehfluffynuts Your a cool kid and you steal poetry, these are facts.

[Californiaguy03]

@tehfluffynuts isnt that plaegerizm?

[iamthewanganator]

@tehfluffynuts I think I did something similar, but that kind of stuff only worked pre-google. Siiigh

[owl316]

@tehfluffynuts yeah you're cool. you steal lyrics

[Joshstarrr]

@owl316 steal lyrics? i dont get it? ummmm ok can someone please reply..

[oldrippy0024]

@tehfluffynuts What book or movie is that from?

[dragonspire440]

@tehfluffynuts TRUE VERY TRUE MAN!

[badghostrock]

@tehfluffynuts

fucking awesome!

[dontcarejeezwtf]

@tehfluffynuts ha , congrats, you were too dumb to do a simple assignment so you cheated and your dumb teacher didn't even notice. just goes to show what a retard school you went to

[findanewgoddd]

@dontcarejeezwtf well someones a little the glass is half GAY!

[mokiegal180]

The one thing I'd change about the Ataris is the length of their songs-- they're so fucking good!

[ordinary7sasha]

@mokiegal180 No change!

[jrack13]

kris looks like dex holland!!!

[imjeff3]

Man, this song takes me back. loves it.

[drgonzito613]

these guys came to my town and i didnt see them!!! omg i didnt know they were this good. fuck me!

[000musicisawesome000]

no matter how awfuly crap my day has been, this song always cheers me up...awesome! :D...love it!!

[ImNoEmoKid]

i live near san dimas hgih??

[chincheese]

COOL QUESTION BRO

[goleft24]

this album is awesome. brings me back to the high school days.

[OverworkedUnderpaid]

Well, this brings back memories.

[spinner2k3]

I can't believe i used to listen to this shit in high school. Wow

[TheElephant79]

What the hell happened to this Band ?

[Filalad]

What a pile of shit.

[yagarb]

1:46 to 1:52 questionable lipsync-ing =x

[sexpistolsdaz]

ur having a laugh arent u? this is the VIDEO for the song it is NOT a live version

[theamericankids]

@yagarb dude, all music videos are lip-synced. that's how it works.

[CaixaDeSol]

lol A boy dedicated this to me back in the day. It was in a mixtape full of all kinds of "I'm better for you than he is" kind of songs.

[LongviewGD182]

sweet

[bosso3rd]

:D to be honest if I would be doing something like that I would put it there too :D the lyrics are unbelievably strong...I swear I´ll treat like a queen :D

[CaixaDeSol]

lol I still have the mix. =) They really are strong.

[loeher182]

so what did you do to him? shouldn't have asked i suppose.

[CaixaDeSol]

No, it's okay. But, do to him in what way?

[loeher182]

did you like, go out with him? just asking 'cause im sorta the type who'd pull off the same thing. just wondering if it would work.

[CaixaDeSol]

No, we didn't. I was with someone I loved and he was my friend. I had feelings for him before being with my then-boyfriend, but by the time he tried to be with me, it was already too late.

[jrack13]

@CaixaDeSol im sorry it took me to long

[javier0100]

being a lefty totally rules

[kiba456123]

Ahmen dude

[crassisdead]

Totally. I'm left handed and also play a Telecaster.

[StopTheZombies]

last night

[Belllla16]

luv it

[curtaineater]

classic

[rustic]

Ataris rock.

[johnwatrous]

the acoustic version of this song is what inspired me to start playing guitar almost 10 years ago....

[sicksteen]

One of the best songs ever!!!!

[johnnycashwithdickie]

I don't know much about this band but they are playing at a venue that has a capacity of about 100 people on Thursday. This is one of the reasons I am a fan of punk in general.

[humanpally99]

look up Boys of summer by the ataris. i guarantee you heard it at least once on the radio. its sad because they made a ton of really beastly songs hell ther like my favorite band. But now they arent signed with anyone and ther like struggling to get gigs. but seriously id LOVE to see these guys here

[nugenswank]

just saw them in sac at the boardwalk and it was AMAZING!

[Csibon13]

@humanpally99 that it a cover, if you think they wrote it, they didn't...

[jrack13]

dex hollands look alike! jk. fuckin love the ataris. to bad they sold out

[zebrafood]

Has anyone else thought about the line "It feels like I'm stuck in Stand By Me"? It doesn't make any sense. That movie has nothing to do with girls or romance and I don't understand how it fits in the song. If anyone gets it, please explain it to me.

[THExSS14]

It means that I'm always stuck with my friends in a good way

[studentjames01]

is the singer wearing a tongue piercing??? if he is cause i cant tell then what a fag!

[HockeyMusicLover]

i LOVE this song.

it was the first song i listened to from them and i just freakin love it.

go Ataris.

:)

[shawshankchaddie]

the lead guitarist (pretty sure it's patrick riley in this video) has the Noodle from the offspring signature.

[Zaner991]

LoL, Kris's hair is punk in this vid, and then he got all emo for So Long, Astoria.

Anywho, I live in the city next to Dimas, and it would be the bomb if The Ataris would play a concert in the park.

[SoftRX]

i lived in san dimas for 17 years

lol and yea a concert in the park would be funny except they are such a different band now

[Sayonaragahajimaru]

True, true...Welcome the Night was good though...and, in my personal opinion, The Cheyenne Line was absolutle amazing.

[5U64RC4K35]

Ahh these lyrics are amazing. The acoustic version is amazing.

[sk8erboi4321]

this was allright :P

[liptonSC]

dude i saw them at brewers!

they wernt as good as i thought

:/

[biggd94]

Be excellent to each other... Party on, dudes!

[4letterfword]

lol bill and ted

[karatrujillo]

San.Dimas high will always be the best...

[SoftRX]

its funny san dimas high was fuckin awesome in real life at least when i went there

[shamusfrancesca]

91773!

[SoftRX]

lol SD FOR LIFE!!!!

[dortyhoor]

Last night he went to Disney land to pick up this Disney land punk song.

[muzzlemask]

Yo diría que este estilo está ya un poquito hecho. Coñazo de juventud

[smotpoker00]

i saw kris on a jam session lately... he become fat and looks like a nerd

[chicagorilla93]

gay

[kattskrall]

did that guy went on to be a UFC fighter?

[englishmuffin1114]

Still my favorite song ever. Kris is effing Jesus.

[astrojunker]

good old times... GONE!

[kennytheshark13]

2 "bhscheerleader09"

haha oh really ? thats y ur school lost ! haha ..like the song says SDHS football rules ! lol

[kennytheshark13]

heeeeeyy i go 2 san dimas high school! lol weird

[ALISONxMOFFETT]

is it just me or does the singer remid you a bit of Dexter Holland from the offspring? :L

[jayzee5035]

I was just thinking that. xD

[BubblegumJoss]

Well this bring back memories o:

[mAzing16]

San Dimas High School actually does exist...

[ThaTRUTH78502934]

for the record, the ataris are an emo band, so is saves the day...at least thats what we called them back then cause their music revolved around girls and heartbreak, which was cool. shit, all american rejects first album was emo but not gay. emo has since evolved into a bunch of whiny bitching, slashed wrists bleeding heart metaphors, and dudes with tight pants and runny mascara. fuck you hot topic!!!

[AXESHREDDER21]

emo is dead. no such thing anymore man. well actually thts false, its just all underground and indie

[ThaTRUTH78502934]

unfortunately emo is alive and well...the used, senses fail, fall out boy, mcr, secondhand serenade, dashboard confessional ect. and don't give me this indie underground bullshit...thats what they call it now so it's "cool" and anti establishment. shit even metalcore's basically screamo/emo at heart. any band with dyed black hair, eyeliner, and bangs is an emo kid fuckin posing as a hardcore punk/metalhead. fuck i think your a closet emo yourself.

[AXESHREDDER21]

well i sure as hell dont listen to the shit you just said.

[PureAwesomenes]

this reminds me that music isn't made in some million dollar stuido. sometimes its real and raw and all about expression or real life events. this song is fucking real yall.

[fjoshredbeard]

This is a travesty to Alex Winters' acting career. I hope that makes someone angry.

[adrastea]

i just watched "freaked" which that guy is in. where the hell is he now?
