I was one of around 40 people at this show, so I'll try to give y'all some perspective. 1st, the girl laughing at the beginning was just someone that wasn't really listening to the music at all. Don't think that was directed at the song. The laughter in the middle was due to Scott "hiding" behind Seth and singing as high as he possibly could. Just a really laid back show & the guys were having a good time. No disrespect intended by the crowd or TAB. These were the good ol' days.

I first heard this song on a tour of a school I really wanted to get into, and there was a guy there in the music room who played this for me

he had really beautiful eyes :)

@Rustyloveproductions It's Scott behind Seth.

@NorthEndZone you dont have to splain bro... What I like about this is that everyone seems distracted and bs'n until about the time they get to the 3rd or 4th line in the song and then BAM, everyone is paying attention when they realize whats up...

I think it is supposed to be both funny and thoughtful. The things that they mention in the verses are funny, but I think that the last bit of the song is much more powerful when it contrasts with the light tone of the first part. The fact that you get to the end of the song and realize you have been laughing at things that really weren't funny makes for a sharper point than if the whole song was "drinking is bad."
