My mom bought me this cd for bar mitzvah six years ago. She also just paid my bail two days ago. Not sure who to blame for that one, but either way my mom is fucking awesome.
Hi... First let me say that english is not my first language and I have a question.. I understant that the slow part lyrics refers to a party but I dont understand the fast part... What is he refering as a sinkin ship? apple pie and a chevrolet?
I say who cares what music genre we or other people like its irrelevant as long as the music is good and you (we) can relate to it is all that truly matters and i think we can all agree this a great song and NOFX is a great band
im a 40 year old skinhead, my chick is a 32 year old punk, my 20 year old son is into gangsta rap, and my 4 year old says that every time my band paractices we play the "dora the explorer" theme song wrong.
@dragganforce eheeh im 32 in a couple of days , and im atm posting some (many :p) nofx songs , thinking exactly the same... "why doesn't everyone listen to this?"
@H8thyneighbor Ironically, I played NOFX in the car with my mom a little while ago and she said their music was good, but the only problem for her was their language (i.e.: too many F-words, etc.).
@H8thyneighbor Have a couple of drinks with your mom and have a heart to heart. Tell her,"Mom I have a song I want you to listen to. Would you? I've listend to plenty of your and dad's songs... will you listen to one of mine?"
Best Punk Rock Bands Of All Times; 1- The RAMONES 2. The Clash 3 NoFx -4 GoldFinger 5- LagWagon 6- Krystal MEYERS -7 - Good RIDDANCE 8- Consumed 9- Bowling 4 SOUP 10-Rige Against !!!
@thugchill69 NOFX is the best punk band of all time nobody beats them especially the fucking ramones!!!!! they only know 3chords. and NOFX has been around longer
I always wondered where the hell that picture came from with the kid looking up the cowgirl's skirts. I got kicked out of church in 1996 for wearing that shirt!
@howdyhoyo thanks....it was a joke, I don't need to be told 100 times that NOFX is a punk band....I'm not some noob I've been lsitening to them since I was 13 in '94....
i think this song is about the fact that this country is going to shit because a corrupt governemnt is giving in to the New World Order and kids just party and get wasted but noone's paying attention to any important shit, like what bills Congress is passing behind our backs. I'm only 20 years old but ive been listening to nofx since i was 11, i llove to party too but theres more to life than just gettin fucked and gettin stoned, blaze one up AND do your fucking job as a citzen
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
first of all you all are so fucking vile thaT i REALLY(HONTO NI) CAN'T CONTAIN MY SMALL FUCKING DICK FROM IT STATE OF MISCONCEPTION
iF YOU GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS AND LIFE " AS YOU KNOW IT" TYPE CLICHE' SHIT YOU SHOULD JUST REALIZE THAT YOU ARE A FUCKING DOLT AND JUST SIT BACK AND SHUT UP , BUSDRIVER STYLE OK , JEEZ MAN AND WOMAN , FUCK , SHIT ... FUCKIN AMERICAN PANZZZZZYS
I think that Fat Mike is trying to say something like this:
In these troubling economic times, we need to just party and not worry about all the politics and stuff. Politics are just some thing that old people do when they can't drink until they puke anymore, after they forgot how to rock out and just chill. Real punk rockers know that it's all about just sitting around and not doing anything while looking really good doing so.
"mr.president please understand,it really is that bad,it won't just go away..it's just beginning...The ballots have been cast,we made like sewer rats,leave this sinking ship,leave and NOT look back....Things we never tried to disallow,they come back to haunt us now,with apple pie and chevrolet,we proudly see the end....we all made this bed,now we've got nowhere to lay-dies and gentlemen,try and understand..."
I think it's about Bush and his failing policies. Not very mysterious of a song. The party part in the beginning reggae half is more an analogy to the past and now here we are screwed. This of course is for when Bush was president. I wonder if NOFX will rip Obama a new asshole, because he deserves one more than Bush.
@502skater502 I would love to do that, problem is that the 'leaders; of the 'democratic' USA tend to influence a lot more than just their own country (for better and for worse) so it is inevetible that people from other counties will get involved in decisions made in the USA..
i think this is one of the best songs ever written and performed by a punk band. It is a true testiment to Fat Mike's ability to write great songs using sattire that is pure genious, as well as the band's ability to stay original and play different kinds of unique jazz and ska music, but still rocking it hard at the end. Thank you NoFX
you mean punk in drublic jeremy ? lol.. and skamaster48 has a bit of a point Bob Marley is a legend but.. he didn't create reggae..and way to many people think that alot of ska/ reggae songs sound like bob marley because they are the same genre but.. monkeyman660 not saying you don't have a point this song is kind of similar to no woman no crys bass line.
I'm with you with all you say except the bit about jazz. I've yet to see any real jazz from this band. I love NOFX, but they don't dabble in the jazz.
