The title of this song should have been August 9th, because this song is about the death of jerry garcia. And it was a mistake that nofx made.

[SylvainBerube]

Actually, Fat Mike's voice sound like Cartman's. And the lyrics fit South Park's character too.

[NixonAddict]

As soon as the clock struck midnight... I went straight for this song. I always listen to this song on this day.

[GheoBlackPlum]

@NixonAddict I LOVE YOU >:D<!

...

...

Now lets get wasted!

[Grimm599]

Happy Birthday to all the fellow 8th of august brothers and sisters!

[BigIve82]

happy August 8th everybody!!!

[serbdetritus182]

this song would be so awesome if it werent about what it is :)

why would they hate hippies so much to celebrate a death of one of them?

[UltraPic]

@serbdetritus182

The hippies sold out, and benny garcia was the king of hippies.

[serbdetritus182]

@UltraPic yeah, but still...

feeling happy coz someone died is kinda ...creepy, even for nofx xD

[ToniTheTerrible]

August 8th is mine and mom's birthday :)

[TheStanfordWhite]

August 8th is my birthday.

This song is kickass.

[RileyM1989]

Nofx is way better than those acid freaks the grateful dead. Fuck hippies.

[wddwilliams]

it's a sad day for a band when you resort to making light of someone's death. If NOFX had a speck of the talent Jerry did they wouldn't have felt the need to write this song. NOFX are a bunch of no talent ass clowns. I bet Jerry wouldn't like your music but he would at least respect it.

[Millettey]

Song written to make light of Jerry Garcia's death. What a tool of a band. The song screams ignorance and jealousy. Plus, hey Fat Mike...you dumb F**K, Jerry died on August 9th. What a weenie.

[aarontimebomb]

@Millettey

hippie

[prea66]

@HauntedMoey Well, no offense or anything, but I'm pretty sure this is about my birthday. I mean, I know that I don't personally know NOFX, but still, we're like this (pantomimes crossed fingers). Lol..jk.

[IVSomeDumbKidXX]

I found this song ON August 8th a few years ago, it was pretty fucking weird because i had been listening to NOFX for like five years before that.

[carterscustomrods]

this song brings back memories of love and hate and happiness! it felt so good and natural to hate back then! ahhhhh to be young again!

[carterscustomrods]

this song brings back memories of love and hate and happiness! it felt so good and natural to hate back then! ahhhhh to be young again!

[NiamhReddy]

My birthday is August 8th :)

[vagtasticone]

This reminds me of summer school my freshman year of high school. Ha! What a terrible summer.

[MrSalmon88]

did he upload it on august 7th to fuck with us

[thefumexxl]

what the hell are you talking about? haha. I'm saying the rhetoric that spawned this kind of music is based on the same issues that The Dead helped write the soundtrack for. but instead of moving an entire generation Fat Mike has barely moved anything. Regardless of who or what he's insulting, the fact that he wrote a song celebrating the death of a man who brought no harm to others, that's fucked up to me. maybe i'm just more respectful a person than that but you don't do that. good or bad.

[thefumexxl]

A horrible person takes the event of someone's death and uses it for gain or pleasure. especially someone that was an iconoclast of the generation that paved the way for bands like NOFX to get on stage and preach their bullshit punk rock rhetoric(that generally preaches acceptance and understanding because lets face it, punk kids seem to think that they need to reinforce the same ideals that jerry's generation, without any sort of credit to them)

[GMoneyFlows420]

@thefumexxl Maybe because that's what makes sense? I guess you'd prefer if they were spewing hate... Do you really think anybody is trying to take credit for acceptance?? You are a sick joke lol

I can see why you have an issue with acceptance, because you have clearly been a social outcast.

[fighisver]

well...august 9th just sounds stupid :D

[thisfukinguy]

<--AUGUST 5



[RileyM1989]

My friends birthday is August 2nd

[SuperTeamramrod]

Doesnt matter if the dates wrong. that whole week was awesome. never trust a hippie. 

[punkdude70]

i thought i was the only guy out there doing that. i live with my life by their precepts. stay true to yourself.

[Tom1979ish]

August 23th

[favorablemutation]

I've never thought it was about Jerry Garcia. I always thought of it as about the Tate murder by the Manson family: the unofficial end of the hippie movement in America.

[DeepestSorrow]

born on 08/08/1988 beat that suckers ;P I am more 8 than you!

[XrellisX]

August 8th... Jerry Garcia was a punk Rocker! You know his father never understood him. Went into his room and smashed his Bob Dylan records. Didn't want him to hear that communist lecture!

[luma62183]

I love Nofx but Fuck off fat mike.

[MrGrevy]

Wow these sickos didn't even get the date right. But man those 2 chords rock!

[MrGrevy]

Wow these sickos didn't even get the date right.

[nikesb2406]

its ok hippies let out your frustration on youtube. mike reads your comments and makes more songs based on them.

[xwearxdickiesx]

I just think this song sucks because its trying to make light of someones death... and just to state facts here..... the dead toured for 30 years and the scene is alive till this day... to bad punk was over in a blink of an eye

[TechFXpunk]

@xwearxdickiesx Hahahaa the Hippie scene is still alive lol fuck no! What's keeping it alive a bunch 50 year old wood shop teachers who never grew up is that whats keeping it alive lol and punk is still going on full throttle sure it's lost some shock value from the 70's and 80's but it's still alive and fuckin' crazy as ever!!

[xwearxdickiesx]

@TechFXpunk Ok once again let me state fact... i understand you may like punk and there is nothing wrong with that.. Furthur (which is composed of 2 members of the grateful dead) just SOLD OUT 3 nights at radio city 3 nights of best buy theater.. the LA greek going to sell out the LA shoreline theater.. can u please just tell me the last time a punk band sold out anything other then my local dive bar? u can also see Phish's touring schedule + more...

[TechFXpunk]

@xwearxdickiesx Punk bands don't play sold out shows at the fuckin' Greek Theater, When you get into punk you don't expect to play sold out big theater shows and you really don't want to. It's against what the music itself represents playing oversized venues with overpriced tickets that's not punk rock. Really how much was that Grateful Dead concert? If it was over $25 you my friend over payed to see a bunch of washed up old hippies.

[xwearxdickiesx]

@TechFXpunk I can agree with you on the "punk scene" of not wanting to play big shows but its not against what music represents.. Music is about of feeling Punk music makes you feel something the grateful dead makes me feel something. let me make it clear im 21 years old. I love rancid i love the exploited if their tickets were 50 bucks id pay to see them.. the tickets i paid were 45 bucks to see music made by people who have been doing it for years. music has a different representation for all

[TechFXpunk]

@xwearxdickiesx "Music is about feeling" that's a vague definition. Movies make you feel something, Art makes you feel something, Food makes you feel something, Fucking makes you feel something! and when did this get about defining music or even a genre who cares all I'm saying is Punk Rock is alive and August 8th is a beautiful day!

[delpot39]

@TechFXpunk This song is about celebrating the fact that Jerry Garcia died. Fat Mike hates hippies with a passion. And ironically, he was off by a day. Jerry died on August 9th.

[aarontimebomb]

@delpot39 not irony

[mbglosser]

too bad jerry died on the 9th.. nice try nofx

[oneninja8]

@heavy8rosa me too!!! Haha

[bmw4life100]

i am born at August 9th -.- xD

[looknotyou]

I Love You NOFX

[XXLBeats]

august 8th means heil hitler -_-

[4everal0n3]

@XXLBeats are you stupid???this song have noting to do wit hitler.............fucking a-hole im sure you'r one off those jerry garcia loving hippies.

[Vaicurious]

Never trust a hippie guys.

[bigbearhemp]

good song, it was about Jerry Garcia, but he actually died on Aug.9

[asonjaryg]

Weird ass album by these guys.

[dildonius]

But maybe NOFX is just to damn punk to like G.D. You know they're punk because they talk about it s much. Never miss an opportunity to show off how totally punk rock they all seem to be. Because its totally punk rock to play at the Vans Warped tour! FUCK THA SYSTUM!

[dildonius]

Hahaha its funny because Jerry Garcia made quality music, but NOFX sucks!

[OffTheWallGaming]

@dildonius ... i hope that was sarcasm...

[Spillner]

Why would you want people to die just because you don't like there music, you fuckin stupid cunt

[eealbany]

Every day is a beautiful day when there's hippies crying in the comment section.

[chizzerz]

i lvoe nofx and greatful dead. but i think this song is pretty pathetic, oh well they've got hundreds of other i like :)

[skeptic025]

the dead and jerry garcia are so much fuckin better than this shit band. i hope when these stupid fucks die someone writes a song celebrating their deaths. ive always hated this band but this just drives it home

[shitshit75]

Yeah fuck you kdspuhler

[KillerWhaleSFl]

jerry garcia was actually pretty badass on the guitar. i still like this song

[kdspuhler]

I love how these dumb fucks write about a musical genius' death saying August 8th is such a great day:

1) You wouldn't be fit to suck Jerry Garcia's dick

2) Jerry Garcia died on August 9th.

[MegaLordCharles]

@kdspuhler dude the grateful dead suck.

[thejona176]

@kdspuhler is something wrong? is something bumming your scene?

[Dropmurphy]

@kdspuhler

They're not fit to suck his dick because they're not gay. You however, qualify in spades.

They got the date wrong because they don't really give a shit.

[torzylala]

i remember lokking at this album cover and thinking ..how sweet..then looking a little longer and pondering the name of the album and then being really disgusted lmao! love this song btw

[boomboomkityfcuk]

[psychosilly81]

[MikeBenedict1986]

@psychosilly81 ..... WOW... I always heard this song was about jerry garcia.. then i was watching Nine Inch Nails video Give up Which is a version that was recorded in the mansion that Sharon owned. Then i learned she was killed on August 9th. And then I was wondering if the song was about that. and then i see ur comment. im like damn maybe thats right.........

[MikeBenedict1986]

@psychosilly81 I was watching the NIN version of Give up when they recorded it in the Tate mansion when Trent owned it. Then I learned she was killed on

August 9th. Then I was wondreing if this song was in common with that date. then i see ur comment. wow.. thats cool. u mighjt be right.

[dynatox]

i bought this album in gernany at a time where there was a inflatable sheep was in the package if u buy it on vinyl, really nice partygag, 'cause the sheep got a fuckhole

[woikster]

lmao i love how fat mike got the date wrong

[bglad4life]

Fuck Garcia, and HELL YA to this song. FUCK hippies.

[xtoverus666]

just looked at the date, made me think of this.

[076walrus]

nice one guys getting the date wrong but still managing to pull of making an awesome song. NOFX

[ragglefraggleguy]

[phukdeebiatch]

@ragglefraggleguy yap yyouu're right

[ChristBurner]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­e!!!!

[qtel55]

August 8th EVERY!!!!

[kirkhillier]

august 8th, 2010, miramichi, NB, canada:

birds sing, theres not a cloud in the sky, yeah august 8th is a beautiful day.

the beer is cold, the sun is shining, yeah august 8th is a beautiful day.

the air is sweet, the summers flowers bloomin, nowhere in sight is there anything gray.

[Bigpolak57]

Jerry had more talent in his long gone severed finger than any punk band could ever dream of having.

[CreadorMex]

Happy August 8th everyone!

[SiLeNCel2]

@CreadorMex ... and once again!

[kingster911]

Trivial non-issues. I enjoy NOFX music. I enjoy Grateful Dead music.

[kingster911]

@0mnib0t so are you around your forties then? I would think that most people in the audience at a Dead show would be taking drugs at their own discretion, whereas the LSD-tainted apples at the Fillmore may have been an unpleasant surprise but then became one of the attractions for the fans. I guess you missed the part where I said that I too hate hippies. You must be a real hardcore punk, a true die-hard: just another person gauging peoples interests based on affiliated subcultures and other tr

[0mnib0t]

Birds sing there's not a cloud in the sky, yeah August 8th is a beautiful day,

I see a bunch of hippies crying, yeah August 8th is a beautiful day,

Like waking up from a real bad dream, suddenly everything is ok.

The storm has passed and the sun is shining, yeah August 8th is a beautiful day.

What's going on, what's going on, is something bumming your scene?

There's something wrong, there's something wrong, I'm not trying to be mean.

[darkvultures]

today is a be a u ty full day...

[kingster911]

Wanted to play this song today with my drummer today but not sure if I approve the message...I also heard NOFX play a song at the Fillmore about hating on the Dead. I take the song as just hippie hatred only because yes I hate hippies but I can't hate on Jerry or the Grateful Dead because I really like em. For shame, Fat Mike.

[0mnib0t]

@kingster911 Yeah you like that they drugged people into following them around the country like zombies. You're probably to young to know that happened anyways. Fuck hippies, fuck jerry, fuck the dead...way to go Mike, keep pissing these hippyfuckers off...

[dickkead]

NinjaProofVest is correct, however, NOFX got the date wrong, Jerry Garcia actually died on August 9th.

[shesmoney]

love this song and it's my birthday!

[3amigos420]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhh august 8th

[HANK0000]

Happy August 8th!

[hoesive]

his body was discovered at around 4am so he could have officially died on the 8th. stop arguing bout somthing as stupid as this fuckin posers.

[elhefe4]

fake

[leftovercrunch]

today!

[adamjlynch]

Happy August 8th!

[bethanybrennan1]

The air is sweet the summer flowers bloomin

nowhere in that is anything gray

Feelings of joy are filling the street yeah beautiful day

Like waking up from a fucked up dream

suddenly everything's looking good

There's been no permanent damage done

Yeah August 8th came right when it should

[donngu]

Yes, Garcia died on August 9th, which is why the 8th was a beautiful day -- he was still with us.

[Doky1301]

@donngu No, Fat Mike hates hippys, he just fucked up a little.

[xXUnitedByFateXx]

happy august 8th everyone! i just added this to the 'august 8th' wikipedia page under holidays: NOFX day, punkers from all over join to revel in August 8th for it is indeed a beautiful day, oi!

[fall3nCro]

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MuscleHack]

Actually remembered this year!

Bought this album when I was a teenager (more than a decade ago) and have tried to remember to listen to this song every August 8th since - I always forget.

August 8th 2010 - the year I finally remembered :)

[rwallace13]

@MuscleHack

I remembered in 1999 (@ 16) and this year (@27). Love it. Bought this on cassette back in early 97' (middle school).

[danielmarc08]

@MuscleHack lol I wrote a blog on that date and listened to it that year ☺

[insertrandomtext]

@MuscleHack

August 8th is actually my birthday, have listened to this song every year since 96 way better than happy birthday song....
