Love this cause they're saying they're getting old but also so their fan base. We ain't 14 anymore, we're 30 something. Getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it.
In my early 30s. Actually unironically trying to go to bed at reasonable hours, drink less, and do yoga 😂 ..."looking back it's all worth it" as the song says lol.
The year is 2003…. Everyone after prom wanted to go to the shore & party. My friend and I went to the shore to a Bowling for Soup show. I still have the signed drumstick! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I remember around yr 2000 I was driving through Texas and in the radio I heard girl all the bad guys want before the got big I have loved these guys since.
Good Lord, I would KILL to be 31 or 33 again! Talk to me in 20 years and we'll see how old you feel then. Early 30s are great. You're old enough to know how dumb you used to be but not old enough that your body has turned on you yet. Enjoy it while you can!
You're not alone, guys! I'm 42 and my site supervisor is 25; but listening to your music, lifts my spirits. Been a fan since 2003 and never stop buying your CDs.
I take comfort in the fact that this song is out here for us, I'm 36 and petrified of getting old. Most of my friends are dead from drugs so it's good to feel not alone when I hear this.
Sucks dude we're the same age but yo holy shit we're here may as well keep going don't know about you but I never considered a scenario of actually being this age
I can kind of relate. A far to many of my friends took their own lives because of depression. It sucks when you have know idea what to do with your life because you weren't expecting to have one at this point.
The way they take the harsh reality of becoming old and starting to lose the youth you once had and poke fun at it is honestly very genius and deserves recognition. Like how they talk about their forgotten memories and how your physical body deteriorates as you become old and then back it up with "what the fuck is tiktok".
I’m feeling this song rn, I’m 22 but I’m having a hard time not just wanting to be a kid, shit was honestly fun and exciting. But Ik I can still be fun and exciting but more so cuz I’m not a dumb kid lol
1985 - You're a teenager who doesn't understand old people yet because you're in the prime of your youth and you don't have hard nostalgia. High School Never Ends - You're stepping into the adult world now. Getting Old Sucks - You're now the old person, but instead of being stuck in the past you accept that everybody grows old. Getting old sucks, but we're doing it right!
i'd actually put 1985 in the middle, because you've stepped into the adult world and you're not quite old, but you're recognizing all the signs that you're no longer "kids these days" but you're not yet saying "kids these days".

Thanks Bowling For Soup for bringing my early 2000’s nostalgia rise from the ashes. To me, hearing just the words of this song, reminds me of the early 2000’s, the time when I listened to this band. Anyone agree?
@@ThatGGguy hey no problem! theres also a youtube video titles "old & new skate punk/punk rock mix vol. 1" featuring other bands & a more upbeat sound (i hadnt heard of them before my comment). new music sometimes has a bad rep but should it?🤷♂️
I turn 48 in a month. Plan on getting tattoos and staying out late singing BFS at karaoke. You can take my chain wallet when you pry it out of my cold dead hands.
Damn right, I’m 37 and I still wear my pop punk uniform every day: dickies, vans, pulled up socks and a band shirt. Topped off with a new era LA dodgers ball cap and I’m good to go. The kids in my neighbourhood look at me like I’m a freak but I honestly don’t care… you wanna take that away from me you better kill me first 😂
God I'm 25 and I refuse to grow out of punk. I don't know what I will be like when I'm 40 or 50 but I want to go out like these guys. Never stop being awesome. Long live Punk and long live Bowling for Soup
A 22 year old asked me what kind of music i liked. I said Pop Punk of course. The replay was "Ohh, old people music" I almost fucking died right there. Im 36... Fan of BFS since i was 16.
Nah I’m sorry I’m 23 and I grew up with BFS too. I realise I was probably listening properly by early 2010’s not the 2000’s when they were at their height but it’s as much my generation. It’s the 21 year olds we have to look out for, they were born after *shudders* 2000
@@pjr238 Dude I was born in 2002 and I agree with everything you said. Everyone has different experiences, it just happens that the person you ran into doesn’t have any love for good music like Pop punk and Nu metal.
15 years later and still tossing out bangers. love you guys and your music. You guys were one of the first bands I was "allowed" to listen to that wasn't "classic rock" or talk radio.
Pretty much Vine 2.0 and will probably die out like vine either from natural causes or government interference due to the high amount of children using it and predators using as well
Shoutout to my 14-year-old self listening to you guys in high school. You helped me get through some excruciating class hours back then, and I am happy to still hear you now.
This song was awesome, and it made me remember of my pops. He took me to see yall in Austin 5 or 6 times when i was around 13-15 years old. Im now 32 with 2 kids of my own. My pops passed away in 2017 when he was 48. He would have had this jamming in the car for sure, haha. Thanks for all the memories, boys. Really enjoyed the tune. Keep rockin 🤘
“Now the movies are cartoons and remakes of shit that was better when we played our music too loud.” There’s something so soul-crushing yet hopeful about this song. It’s “Growing Up Is Getting Old” for metalheads!
The problem with adulthood is, you never know what it's about until it hits you after a few decades of it, then it's too late and you have to deal with the new generation of -jerks- kids who don't know.
I mean Jaret also does stuff with other artists and I think produces the stuff his daughter does the Not Ur Girlfrenz I think along with Kelly the sitting in a tree album was pretty good
Honestly guys this is a masterpiece. Not pretending you're still 25 is more punk than most bands out here acting like we aren't all 40 now. Love it and keep rocking (before 10 pm ;) )!
He grew up three blocks away The same old neighborhood Spends too much time on his lawn When there's no football on Where did the time go? What's that on his face? Always thought we'd live forever I don't think we're up for that Get to bed by 9 p.m. We used to run wild in the streets now we complain When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud Now our tattoos are fading away And looking back it was all worth it The truth is getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it We're worked at all the same jobs We chased the same girls We played in all the same bands Each other's bestest man You had a heart attack I've got two bum knees We don't wanna live forever What the fuck is TikTok? Golf checkers, bingo, dominoes We used to run wild in the streets now we complain When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud Now our memories are fading away And looking back it was all worth it The truth is getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it All right, I don't think we can do bridges anymore We need a break Smells like Werther's Original in here And Old Milwaukee And Foldgers Are those New Balance?

*Imagine a continuation special of Phineas and Ferb where the gang hangs out and goes on crazy adventures once more as adults, with this being the opening theme.*
I don’t think a series would work, but maybe a one time special where the gang is all in town for thanksgiving or something. but I think a big part of the series is that kind of collective free time to be creative together only really happens for those 104 days of summer vacation as a kid and then life moves on and people have different schedules and paths...
I used to listen to bowling for soup when I was in middle and highschool. I'm now 31 and a recovering fentanyl addict/convicted felon. I have a 9 year old son and I feel my body getting old. Getting old does suck, especially when you regret the past.
I’m in the same boat but with heroin and without the kid. The way to look at it is, you need to forgive yourself for your past, it’s done, can’t be changed, but the future can be as great as you want it to be, substance free 😊
Ive arguably had multiple drug addictions and im 36 but feel pretty good or at least better than mid 20s but my understanding of diet and exercise/mental health is better now. Learn from the past cos you sure as fuck can't change it unless you wana deny it and have psychosis. 31s not that old dude (when ya 50 you will wish you where that young) Most MMA fighters hit their peak career 30-35. Older you get the longer you've had to abuse or enhance your body but most people choose the former. Treat it like a game or even addictiin and get in shape etc My kids are 7 and they're a cool hang. You could be in the best shape of your life at 32 hanging out cracking jokes with your 10yo. Good luck anyway
Very few bands can get away with never fundamentally changing their sound. Maiden and NOFX spring to mind. But Bowling for soup definitely fit into that category too.
That old adage if it ain't broke.. it's why Maiden is still my favourite because they know their base and stick to what we love. Same for Bowling for Soup, I love that they stay with what they are comfortable with which is why I have such a soft spot for them 🙂
You guys speak to me man with your music I'm still playing your music to loud all day everyday and don't care what anyone says you are the best please keep the music coming man you guys got me out of my depressed mind after my oldest brother passed away just before Christmas man please keep the positive music coming Man love you guys thank you once again for your music

That moment when you realize you completely relate to this song! The best summers of my life were 98-2002, and then boom, the fact that those summers were 20+ years ago hits like a ton of bricks.
I know right wrestling Monday night wars WCW WWF Attitude era, Ozzfest,Download,Warped Tour the rise of Slipknot, American Pie,10 things I hate about you,Simpsons was still good,Shrek, matrix,Lotr god now I'm depressed lmao
Stumbled on this browsing around YT. The beginning with the docs is so spot on! A fun, uplifting song considering getting old sucks, and the puppets are great!
Talk about a band that matures and expands. I love that Bowling For Soup grows and ages with it's fan base. I like "What's My Age Again", but I'm far from 23yrs old and can't relate. lol. So I hope they keep rocking out into their 50's and beyond.
@@kellykel4472 Actually one of my favourite shows ever was at Wembley Arena in London, Buckcherry, BFS & Steel Panther. I flew all the way from Cairns, Australia to London just to go to that show.
This is a pretty catchy song I’m currently 29 one year away from being 30 but I don’t feel any different than I did when I was 18. Just enjoy your life don’t worry about getting older just make something of yourself. As long as you are staying active doing the stuff you want than getting older shouldn’t matter it will all pay off so stop stressing about aging. If your not aging than your dying. There has been people that’s never even made it pass being a child.
you will be in highschool til you are 18, college til you are 24, 28 if you go for a bachelors, you will be working fir 2 years before you are in your 30's, you will have spent 23 years in school, will have a ton of debt and barely learned anything you couldnt have learned online, you will likely be in your 40s or more before you pay off your student loans, and by then will have saddled yourself with car payments, maybe a mortgage. if you are lucky you will retire at 60 and have a few years of freedom from debt after everything has been wrung outta ya. and through it all you get to see everyone you love die.
@@tuseroni6085 I'm happy to say that more and more of my generation are considering trade school and community college. Believe it or not, hearing things like this really makes a difference in where we go in life.
im 23 and i love BFS and their music. this song has the 2000 vibes in it and its super awesome. They still got it! You guys should make more songs like this. I'd prefer this type of music than this generation's music, seriously. BFS ROCK!
My favorite Bowling For Soup song is 1985 and my sister just relaized this recently. The other day she showed me a parody song of it called Mid 2005 and I suddenly felt old. Hearing this song now, it feels so fitting.
I love the Phineas and Ferb references, since they wrote the song. It's crazy to watch an old show with my little cousins and I can say I watched the episode when it came out.
@@slapbass8723 respectfully disagree. To me "pop punk" is Ramones, Riverdales, Screeching Weasel, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, Blink, Rancid, BFS, NFG, Boris the Spinkler--- basic I-IV-V do-wop on speed. Emo is more FOB, AMR, PATD, MCR, Paramore, etc. Yellowcard, Sum41, Good Charlotte, etc. being a bridge between the two. When I want to hear "pop punk," I want fun, fast, drunken, fuck shit up music, not whiney, I wanna commit suicide music. But then, I am just an out of touch old fart so....
@@slapbass8723 The are different BUT they both had their place in the 00’s. I agree Ramones are my number one Pop Punk band but the 2000’s really made it mainstream for better or worse. Also Machine Gun Kelly is bringing Pop Punk back in lots of ways. It’s a pretty exciting time for music. I have not felt that way maybe ever before. I think it’s hope for future of music. 🥰🎶 🎸 🪨
An anthem for those of us there from the beginning? So in. Also, the use of muppets for a video about being old is brilliant! Love you dudes...keep on a rockin and rollin!!!!
OMG I LOVE THIS BAND!!! I started listening when 1985 came out. That’s the year I graduated high school (so you KNOW I’m old 😂) and was the BEST year seriously. It’s like I wrote 1985. My 2 kids WERE in high school, and told me I was uncool a LOT. I’ve seen all the classics, I know every line. Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, even St Elmos Fire. I rocked out to Wham.... ETC. I’ve watched that video COUNTLESS times and I play all your songs when I wanna ROCK OUT in the car and I need some HAPPY JUICE! I am BEYOND excited to be moving to Texas in this next year so MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE I can see you guys live someday! 💜💜❤️❤️🕶
The sound of the music in this song, takes me all the way back to 2004/2005 when I was 12 and 13 listening to this band. They're keeping the same sound that they had back in the day and bringing back the nostalgia. Very good guys!
wow... well this was a pleasant surprise. Honestly didn't know they still existed till this song popped up while I was crafting some mines. And oh boy... I feel this song. *Punk Rock 101* Love you guys. Thanks for the slap to the face (IOW you're still around). Rock on!!
At 33 I feel this so hard. Midnight energy drinks and video games have been replaced with a glass of water and bed at 10:30. Taco Bell for most meals has been replaced with salads. Smoking weed has been replaced with.... Okay maybe I'm not ready to grow up all the way just yet! 🤣
Man, this band just messed with my head lol I instantly went to dig through my CDs to look up around how long they’ve been going (thinking ‘2001/2002 sounds about right for their first album...’) nope lmao I’ve just aged from 15 (the year drunk enough to dance was released) to 33 in 12 seconds 😂😂

Love you guys man. 24 now and I know I still got so much ahead of me but going into the part of life where it’s not all fun and games is a bit surreal. Thank you guys for making my childhood awesome.
It's because culture moves by really quickly nowadays, and it's guided more by zoomers than millennials at this point. Plus, we're in a shitty time that makes us think more fondly back on the time when it was 2006, we weren't facing our second big recession in the span of a decade, and God wasn't winning a game of Plague Inc against us.
I don't think something should sound this catchy and ~still~ get me in the feels. The nostalgia is so friggin real I could choke. In all seriousness, another excellent entry into their music catalogue, and just as witty as it's always been. Thank you for this song - it's definitely a gift to those of us who grew up with you, and are starting to struggle with this exact thought.
Im kinda with you... its so cheesily catchy, as bowling for soup has been and hopefully always will be, but i was fr having to fight some choked tears back... it was really bringing me back.
I'm 36 and dread getting older and eventually dying. I love life too much. I hate how things change and I miss loved ones and old memories. I feel this song so hard.... 💔

I turn 48 in a month. Plan on getting tattoos and staying out late singing BFS at karaoke. You can take my chain wallet when you pry it out of my cold dead hands.
45 in 2 months and same here dude!
You are the hero we need, sir ❤️
Chain Wallet!? 😂😅💀 Awesome.
Keep living it, my dude. I'm 27 and also plan on keeping my youth around, while still growing as a person. Happy early birthday!
Damn right, I’m 37 and I still wear my pop punk uniform every day: dickies, vans, pulled up socks and a band shirt. Topped off with a new era LA dodgers ball cap and I’m good to go. The kids in my neighbourhood look at me like I’m a freak but I honestly don’t care… you wanna take that away from me you better kill me first 😂
God I'm 25 and I refuse to grow out of punk. I don't know what I will be like when I'm 40 or 50 but I want to go out like these guys. Never stop being awesome. Long live Punk and long live Bowling for Soup
Keep the fire alive buddy xD can't have people growing out of punk! I will raise my kids on it too 🤘
No matter how old you get, never let the punk in you die
A 22 year old asked me what kind of music i liked. I said Pop Punk of course. The replay was "Ohh, old people music" I almost fucking died right there. Im 36... Fan of BFS since i was 16.
Sense when is "punk" old!? At lest it has a story
Nah I’m sorry I’m 23 and I grew up with BFS too. I realise I was probably listening properly by early 2010’s not the 2000’s when they were at their height but it’s as much my generation.
It’s the 21 year olds we have to look out for, they were born after *shudders* 2000
Dude im 24 and grew up on punk rock wut ¿?
I was told a few weeks ago that this fell into the category of dad rock.
@@pjr238 Dude I was born in 2002 and I agree with everything you said. Everyone has different experiences, it just happens that the person you ran into doesn’t have any love for good music like Pop punk and Nu metal.
Bands get older. Pop Punk stays young forever.
This.
These dudes are garbage.. barely qualifies as punk and a shame they're grouped in with pop punk as well
@@rolanddrinkwalter1447 partial bit of advice; shut up.
Yes. I feel 16 again when I listen to Pop Punk. It feels pretty awesome. I just turned 35 - with three kids- so I feel old. 💜🤣
@@shay2218 Turning 30 myself on the 31st. Happy late birthday!
15 years later and still tossing out bangers. love you guys and your music. You guys were one of the first bands I was "allowed" to listen to that wasn't "classic rock" or talk radio.
1:58 'WTF is TikTok?'
Im 16, but i think the same XD
It's a social media app, It's alright
I wish I never heard for it...
Easy, it's that old-timey robotic character from The Return to Oz.
Also a dope song by Ke$ha.
Somebody somewhere was just unoriginal.
Pretty much Vine 2.0 and will probably die out like vine either from natural causes or government interference due to the high amount of children using it and predators using as well
Shoutout to my 14-year-old self listening to you guys in high school. You helped me get through some excruciating class hours back then, and I am happy to still hear you now.
Wth
This song was awesome, and it made me remember of my pops. He took me to see yall in Austin 5 or 6 times when i was around 13-15 years old. Im now 32 with 2 kids of my own. My pops passed away in 2017 when he was 48. He would have had this jamming in the car for sure, haha. Thanks for all the memories, boys. Really enjoyed the tune. Keep rockin 🤘
I listened to you guys in middle school.
I'm 28 now.
Glad y'all are still kickin!
Feeling old yet?
Same.. I'm 29 now
Wow, thanks for making me feel ancient (40).... 28 is NOT old lol
Wait til you hit 30. It's like life hits the nitro button on yer ass. Life feels slow now, you're gonna wish you could slow it down.
Jesus... Me too.. My feels and im 29
“Now the movies are cartoons and remakes of shit that was better when we played our music too loud.”
There’s something so soul-crushing yet hopeful about this song. It’s “Growing Up Is Getting Old” for metalheads!
Truth
*Punks.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:41- The drawing of Rob makes me chuckle
Don't worry guys you might be old, but to us you're forever gold. (born '89)
Daaaaaaamn 32? I think you can now tell stories starting with “back in my day” 😅
@@lite0221 yo! 32 is not that old! I would be turning that age in just 12 years 😭😭
38 here it's gonna be a long 6 years kid lmfao
One of the few bands that remain true to their style of music to this day, that is admirable.
Was in High school in the mid 2000’s now I’m 32 still love listening to them 🔥🔥🤘🤘
The problem with adulthood is, you never know what it's about until it hits you after a few decades of it, then it's too late and you have to deal with the new generation of -jerks- kids who don't know.
Indeed
We're still preoccupied, two-thou... two-thou... two-thousand and five
@@SomeTH-camTraveler - Knowing the political era of the 2000s onward, I prefer 19-19-1995.

Truth. History keeps looping. Always respect seniors because your kids will be paying attention.
This made me realize it's been 5 years since their last album
Oh god, that can't be right, can it???
holy sh-
This has gotta be a record for longest between albums for them right?
@@alexrichardson3717 yes
I mean Jaret also does stuff with other artists and I think produces the stuff his daughter does the Not Ur Girlfrenz I think along with Kelly the sitting in a tree album was pretty good
Honestly guys this is a masterpiece. Not pretending you're still 25 is more punk than most bands out here acting like we aren't all 40 now. Love it and keep rocking (before 10 pm ;) )!
I love the Phineas and Ferb reference!
The fact that they made their theme song makes it way better
@@sebastianzaldivarvazquez4866 that's literally the entire point
@@sebastianzaldivarvazquez4866 oh ma lawdddd
It kinda made my day tbh! 🤗
Well the did do the theme song. I wish the actually got the voice actors but in these times who cared, new song awesome.
Damn Jaret's voice didn't change a bit. still the same BFS after how many yeras. love it
He grew up three blocks away
The same old neighborhood
Spends too much time on his lawn
When there's no football on
Where did the time go?
What's that on his face?
Always thought we'd live forever
I don't think we're up for that
Get to bed by 9 p.m.
We used to run wild in the streets now we complain
When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud
Now our tattoos are fading away
And looking back it was all worth it
The truth is getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it
We're worked at all the same jobs
We chased the same girls
We played in all the same bands
Each other's bestest man
You had a heart attack
I've got two bum knees
We don't wanna live forever
What the fuck is TikTok?
Golf checkers, bingo, dominoes
We used to run wild in the streets now we complain
When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud
Now our memories are fading away
And looking back it was all worth it
The truth is getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it
All right, I don't think we can do bridges anymore
We need a break
Smells like Werther's Original in here
And Old Milwaukee
And Foldgers
Are those New Balance?
We used to run wild in the streets now we complain
When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud

*Imagine a continuation special of Phineas and Ferb where the gang hangs out and goes on crazy adventures once more as adults, with this being the opening theme.*
I don’t think a series would work, but maybe a one time special where the gang is all in town for thanksgiving or something. but I think a big part of the series is that kind of collective free time to be creative together only really happens for those 104 days of summer vacation as a kid and then life moves on and people have different schedules and paths...
This would be badasssss
Quick, someone call Dan Povenmire
@@quarbarian2 what if MTV did music video again?
Like rugrats all growed up but better
Felt like the 90's were going to last forever, then one day I woke up and I was 40. 😥 ...cool song though. 😉🤘
40 isn't old. I do miss the 90's.
So true
Don’t feel bad, I thought the same about the 70s and I am almost 60!!
Feel this way about the the last two decades. I'll be 30 this year. Feels weird man.
I feel u
I used to listen to bowling for soup when I was in middle and highschool. I'm now 31 and a recovering fentanyl addict/convicted felon. I have a 9 year old son and I feel my body getting old. Getting old does suck, especially when you regret the past.
I’m in the same boat but with heroin and without the kid. The way to look at it is, you need to forgive yourself for your past, it’s done, can’t be changed, but the future can be as great as you want it to be, substance free 😊
@@antony9384 thanks for your words, I was actually about to relapse today but I came to the gym instead.
Ive arguably had multiple drug addictions and im 36 but feel pretty good or at least better than mid 20s but my understanding of diet and exercise/mental health is better now.
Learn from the past cos you sure as fuck can't change it unless you wana deny it and have psychosis.
31s not that old dude (when ya 50 you will wish you where that young)
Most MMA fighters hit their peak career 30-35.
Older you get the longer you've had to abuse or enhance your body but most people choose the former.
Treat it like a game or even addictiin and get in shape etc
My kids are 7 and they're a cool hang.
You could be in the best shape of your life at 32 hanging out cracking jokes with your 10yo.
Good luck anyway
I love the references to Almost and 1985 along with Phineas and Ferb
can u tell me wich are the references please bro?
@@luisfernandomoralestorres1673 in the beginning when jared say "arent you guys to young to be doctor?"
@@luisfernandomoralestorres1673 1:42 and 3:04
almost is deadass one of my favorite songs
In Phineas and Ferb, they not just play their theme song, the play as Love Handle
Very few bands can get away with never fundamentally changing their sound. Maiden and NOFX spring to mind. But Bowling for soup definitely fit into that category too.
AC/DC: putting out the same exact song and selling out stadiums since 1973
That old adage if it ain't broke.. it's why Maiden is still my favourite because they know their base and stick to what we love. Same for Bowling for Soup, I love that they stay with what they are comfortable with which is why I have such a soft spot for them 🙂
I remember growing up listening to Bowling For Soup and I still love them. I'm 31 now. You're only as old as you feel! Keep rocking bros.
I hope someone uses this for a tv show theme song where the cast is middle age
It will be a sitcom revival. Malcolm in the Mid-life Crisis
"Wtf is Tik tok." What I wouldn't give to able to forget that.
No you don’t. I stopped watching the media and tv in 2008. Never did Facebook or anything. Now I have no idea what the FUCK IS GOING ON!
@@Stretch_Armstrong666 honestly a life without any type of media doesn't sound half bad

Aren't you guys a little young to be doctors? - Yes, yes we are.
Love that Phineas & Ferb reference.
Man...how old is that show? They like the Disney icon for runs for so long...
I mean they did the intro song for them
Their shirts are also the colors of P&F's hair
That moment when you realize you completely relate to this song! The best summers of my life were 98-2002, and then boom, the fact that those summers were 20+ years ago hits like a ton of bricks.
I know right wrestling Monday night wars WCW WWF Attitude era, Ozzfest,Download,Warped Tour the rise of Slipknot, American Pie,10 things I hate about you,Simpsons was still good,Shrek, matrix,Lotr god now I'm depressed lmao
So glad im gonna be able to finally see them before they call it a career. One of my favorites growning up so i am so excited for this show
getting old isn't that bad when you've been listening to Bowling for Soup for the past 20 years thanks guys!
"Aren't you a little young to be doctor's"
Phineas: Yes, yes we are.
I loved that little reference
😂😂😂😂
Oh my god, I just got that reference 🤦♀️
Right? The fact that they literally wrote and performed the theme song is the best. Love these guys.
@@tylermckinley4014 I honestly had no clue thats seriously so cool
Proof good music can still be made
Stumbled on this browsing around YT. The beginning with the docs is so spot on! A fun, uplifting song considering getting old sucks, and the puppets are great!
Talk about a band that matures and expands. I love that Bowling For Soup grows and ages with it's fan base. I like "What's My Age Again", but I'm far from 23yrs old and can't relate. lol. So I hope they keep rocking out into their 50's and beyond.
Man listening to these guys for the last 20+ years, makes me feel old but I’m glad they still got it. Punk Rock 101 forever!
Jaret's voice is the same as 20 years ago, holy shit!
Can 2021 get any better, new albums from The Offspring, Weezer, Buckcherry, Black Veil Brides and Bowling For Soup. What a time to be alive!!
Don't forget Foo Fighters put one out in February
You should also check out Punk Rock Factory - very BFS and they do some epic songs 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Well the rumours are that MCR have a new album aswell
@@MrRiddle0 I might check that out when it releases
@@kellykel4472 Actually one of my favourite shows ever was at Wembley Arena in London, Buckcherry, BFS & Steel Panther. I flew all the way from Cairns, Australia to London just to go to that show.
This is a pretty catchy song I’m currently 29 one year away from being 30 but I don’t feel any different than I did when I was 18. Just enjoy your life don’t worry about getting older just make something of yourself. As long as you are staying active doing the stuff you want than getting older shouldn’t matter it will all pay off so stop stressing about aging. If your not aging than your dying. There has been people that’s never even made it pass being a child.
Being a teen, I can't exactly relate, but I love how this band can make songs that people of any age can relate to.
Oh, but you will, you will..........
I'm 25 and I'm terrified of hitting my 30s in a few years
you will be in highschool til you are 18, college til you are 24, 28 if you go for a bachelors, you will be working fir 2 years before you are in your 30's, you will have spent 23 years in school, will have a ton of debt and barely learned anything you couldnt have learned online, you will likely be in your 40s or more before you pay off your student loans, and by then will have saddled yourself with car payments, maybe a mortgage.
if you are lucky you will retire at 60 and have a few years of freedom from debt after everything has been wrung outta ya. and through it all you get to see everyone you love die.
@@tuseroni6085 No pressure though 😂
@@tuseroni6085 I'm happy to say that more and more of my generation are considering trade school and community college. Believe it or not, hearing things like this really makes a difference in where we go in life.
im 23 and i love BFS and their music. this song has the 2000 vibes in it and its super awesome. They still got it! You guys should make more songs like this. I'd prefer this type of music than this generation's music, seriously. BFS ROCK!
My favorite Bowling For Soup song is 1985 and my sister just relaized this recently. The other day she showed me a parody song of it called Mid 2005 and I suddenly felt old. Hearing this song now, it feels so fitting.
This is by far one of the coolest home made music videos i have ever seen. Huge credit to the artists behind the puppets/video.
I love the Phineas and Ferb references, since they wrote the song. It's crazy to watch an old show with my little cousins and I can say I watched the episode when it came out.
The pop punk revival is in Full swing. Pop punk's not dead
It doesn't ever die.
This is pop punk. Not that whiney emo shit from the 00s
@@tmb1065emo and punk pop are pretty much the same thing their is hardly any difference
@@slapbass8723 respectfully disagree. To me "pop punk" is Ramones, Riverdales, Screeching Weasel, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, Blink, Rancid, BFS, NFG, Boris the Spinkler--- basic I-IV-V do-wop on speed. Emo is more FOB, AMR, PATD, MCR, Paramore, etc. Yellowcard, Sum41, Good Charlotte, etc. being a bridge between the two. When I want to hear "pop punk," I want fun, fast, drunken, fuck shit up music, not whiney, I wanna commit suicide music. But then, I am just an out of touch old fart so....
@@slapbass8723 The are different BUT they both had their place in the 00’s. I agree Ramones are my number one Pop Punk band but the 2000’s really made it mainstream for better or worse. Also Machine Gun Kelly is bringing Pop Punk back in lots of ways. It’s a pretty exciting time for music. I have not felt that way maybe ever before. I think it’s hope for future of music. 🥰🎶 🎸 🪨
An anthem for those of us there from the beginning? So in. Also, the use of muppets for a video about being old is brilliant! Love you dudes...keep on a rockin and rollin!!!!
I turned 40 back in July and i am pretty much the oldest person at my job. This song hits a chord now more than ever!
I may be getting old, but hearing Bowling for soup still making great music in 2021 makes me feel young again :)
OMG I LOVE THIS BAND!!! I started listening when 1985 came out. That’s the year I graduated high school (so you KNOW I’m old 😂) and was the BEST year seriously. It’s like I wrote 1985. My 2 kids WERE in high school, and told me I was uncool a LOT. I’ve seen all the classics, I know every line. Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, even St Elmos Fire. I rocked out to Wham.... ETC. I’ve watched that video COUNTLESS times and I play all your songs when I wanna ROCK OUT in the car and I need some HAPPY JUICE! I am BEYOND excited to be moving to Texas in this next year so MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE I can see you guys live someday! 💜💜❤️❤️🕶
Word. Class of '85 representin'.
I LOVE the P&F joke.
It was a great joke the actually did write some jokes on the show
Need a Karaoke version of this !!!! New Greatest thing about growing old is that I lived to hear this song made!
The sound of the music in this song, takes me all the way back to 2004/2005 when I was 12 and 13 listening to this band. They're keeping the same sound that they had back in the day and bringing back the nostalgia. Very good guys!
Best Muppet Show I've seen in 40 yrs
I ADORE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! BOWLING FOR SOUP HAS ONCE AGAIN WRITTEN GOSPEL AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Please keep doing this when youre all 195 years old
The funniest part is still being young and listening to this band, knowing you too will get old.
wow... well this was a pleasant surprise. Honestly didn't know they still existed till this song popped up while I was crafting some mines. And oh boy... I feel this song. *Punk Rock 101* Love you guys. Thanks for the slap to the face (IOW you're still around).
Rock on!!
I turned 38 this year. This song was made for us geriatric millenials...
Bowling for Soup is back everybody
nature's healing
I appreciate that they still sound the same as. Back in the day. I hate when bands reinvent themselves.
Getting old sucks, "but we're doing it right"... love that! Listened to the band since their 2002's Girl all the bad guys want
At 33 I feel this so hard.
Midnight energy drinks and video games have been replaced with a glass of water and bed at 10:30. Taco Bell for most meals has been replaced with salads. Smoking weed has been replaced with.... Okay maybe I'm not ready to grow up all the way just yet! 🤣
Man, this band just messed with my head lol I instantly went to dig through my CDs to look up around how long they’ve been going (thinking ‘2001/2002 sounds about right for their first album...’) nope lmao I’ve just aged from 15 (the year drunk enough to dance was released) to 33 in 12 seconds 😂😂
Video games will never be replaced.
Try 46! I would LOOOOVE to be 33 again!! Lol.... but yes i absolutely agree
@@kezlou87 Yeah bitch song was around '01 by my timeline as I was with a very specific teenage ex when it came out and we'd bum in her mum's house all day watching Kerrang!
Don’t give it all up your still young man!!! Just stay active and you can do anything really.
I can't hear the "alright" at 2:36 without my brain immediately following it up with "this is sad sad situation. One, two... three"
This song most definitely gives me the early 2000s feel I've been longing for quite awhile .
Lyrics for fellow old listeners:
He grew up three blocks away
The same old neighborhood
Spends too much time on his lawn
When there's no football on
Where did the time go?
What's that on his face?
Always thought we'd live forever
I don't think we're up for that
Get to bed by 9 PM
We used to run wild in the streets
Now we come play with
Car stripes, and fast, and the music is insanely loud
Now our tattoos are fading away
And looking back it was all worth it
The truth is getting old sucks
But everybody's doing it
We're worked at all the same jobs
We chased the same girls
We played in all the same bands
Each other's bestest man
You had a heart attack
I've got two bum knees
We don't wanna live forever
What the fuck is Tik Tok
Low checkers bean goes coming down
We used to run wild in the streets
Now we come play with
Car stripes, and fast, and the music is insanely loud
Now our memories are fading away
And looking back it was all worth it
The truth is getting old sucks
But everybody's doing it
Alright
I don't think we can do bridges anymore
We need a break
Smells like werthers original in here
And old Milwaukee
And Folgers
Are those New Balance?
We used to run wild in the streets
Now we come play with
Car stripes, and fast, and the music is insanely loud
Now the movies are cartoons
And remakes are shit dead what's better
When we played our music
To them now our memories are fading away
And looking back it was all worth it (and looking back it was all worth it)
The truth is getting old sucks
But everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it
The truth is getting old sucks
But we're doing it right
"When cars drive too fast"
is this the power of ai? "Golf, checkers, bingo, dominoes, We used to run wild in the streets now we complain when cars drive too fast and the music is insane we love now our memories are fading away"
Like the Geico gecko said.
"I don't think that's right."
"Smells like Werther's Original in here..." For some reason that line made me crack up 🤣
Never thought I’d get emotional watching a BFS video, but dammit, when his little girl changed into a big girl, that shit got me man. Chopping onions in here. Pushing 40 and yeah getting old suuuuucks. Great video and song!
Turning 52 next month, still blasting BFS. This song is going to the top of my playlist while mowing my yard.
Love you guys man. 24 now and I know I still got so much ahead of me but going into the part of life where it’s not all fun and games is a bit surreal. Thank you guys for making my childhood awesome.
Dude I am so happy this band is still active online and does all the things they do lol
Why do I feel this way in my late 20‘s? And wtf is Tik Tok?!
It's because culture moves by really quickly nowadays, and it's guided more by zoomers than millennials at this point. Plus, we're in a shitty time that makes us think more fondly back on the time when it was 2006, we weren't facing our second big recession in the span of a decade, and God wasn't winning a game of Plague Inc against us.
@@austinvanderveer213 real shit. Couldn’t say it any better.
I'm glad you guys still here! Voice's not changed! xd
PUNK WILL NEVER DIE
Best band ever !! So happy they still make music !!!
I don't think something should sound this catchy and ~still~ get me in the feels. The nostalgia is so friggin real I could choke.
In all seriousness, another excellent entry into their music catalogue, and just as witty as it's always been. Thank you for this song - it's definitely a gift to those of us who grew up with you, and are starting to struggle with this exact thought.
Im kinda with you... its so cheesily catchy, as bowling for soup has been and hopefully always will be, but i was fr having to fight some choked tears back... it was really bringing me back.
I'm 36 and dread getting older and eventually dying. I love life too much. I hate how things change and I miss loved ones and old memories. I feel this song so hard.... 💔
I liked the flashback to 1985.
where?
When they asked the kids if they were a little young to be doctors the kids should’ve said “well aren’t you a little old to be alive”
