This was written by Gwen Stefani after her brother Eric, No Doubt's primary songwriter up to then, left the band. She wrote it about being frustrated at her father being overprotective due to her gender, saying at the time: "I wouldn't trade being female, for anything, but the guys don't understand what a burden it can be sometimes."
@@ponfed I wasn't aware that he did so. I just know that she went on to make millions and marry Blake Shelton. She doesn't ever have to work again if she doesn't want to, but as with most performers, it gets in their blood and can't stop. I can understand it. There's a certain rush like no other when you get to the end of your performance and are hearing the applause, whistles, etc. I never really made it past the bar band stage, but people showing that they like your music is an amazing feeling
This is such a great funky tune by No Doubt. You should see her perform this live back in the day. Love her standing up for the ladies! You guys broke it down perfectly.☺🧡
I associate No Doubt with Garbage. They were 2 female led rock bands that got big at the same time. I think I remember this was big at the same time Garbage came out with “Only Happy When it Rains”.(or was it Stupid Girl?)
"Tragic Kingdom", the lp that this is off of is a really good album. Other good songs from it are "Spiderwebs" and "Sunday Morning". You guys have ready done "Don't Speak".
Gwen did this one, because her parents were super strict with her because she was a girl. You guys should check out Gwen & her hubby Blake Shelton's duets. My fav is 'Nobody but you' which is beautiful & then 'Anywhere with you' is a spunky one. It fun seeing & hearing her now, 20 plus years after this tune. She has a beautiful voice.
Great song! Loved this era in music! Gwen and Gavin Rossdale, my teenage crush, met around this time on tour and hooked up and eventually married and had kids. Divorced now but was probably a great love story between 2 famous musicians
If you haven't already check out her video for Hollaback Girl. It's her response to a beef she had with Courtney Love who was lead singer for the band Hole and widow of Kurt Cobain who was lead singer of Nirvana.
Also, this song was way ahead of its time. It wasn’t a girls anthem or empowerment song back then, like it should have been and probably would have been today. I haven’t listened or read the actual lyrics for a long time. Great lyrics.
It’s all true. Older brother had all the freedom. I had none. Nobody still will let me drive late at night and I’m 53 years old!!!!!! Totally feel this song.
No one will ‘let you? ‘You’re 53. You can do as you please. I’m 41. I drive late by myself. Did at 17,too. Get a backbone and quit acting like a victim.
Wife here..Hey.. , I just wanted to let you guys know that for some reason my comments are disappearing about half the time..I don't know what's going on..A couple of weeks this has been happening..🤔
Who ever is singing this opening music for your videos, please make it stop. It's bad.. it's really bad. Fast forward bad. Skip intro on Netflix shows bad. Plunge fingers in ears bad. Mute everything bad. It probably hurts your channel bad. It hurts my entire face bad. BAD. Stop it.
As a kid in the 90s, I had the Tragic Kingdom album and loved it, but I never really realized how deep the lyrics are to this song. Loved old Gwen, now tho?....meh lol...
I was maybe in my late 20s - early 30s when this came out. I remember thinking - yeah that kinda sucks about being a girl. But I always did whatever I wanted. Walked the dog in the dark (oh you shouldn’t do that), go to concerts by myself, I did whatever I wanted. Do I relate to the lyrics? Absolutely. But I’m no victim. I’m a strong person. Society’s ridiculous ideas are a slight irritation.
People forget how she dated Bradley Nowell , the lead singer of Sublime.... Saw Red is a great song they did together.... you can definetly see that influence in her 1st album❤️
No doubt played last night at Coachella. They play next Saturday too and they had one of the best sets. If yall have nothing to do that night you should watch their performance!
Gwen hasn't changed either, getting so many cosmetic procedures to try and remain younger than she is has made her unrecognizable. even well into middle age, women still know they're "just a girl" and pretty much nothing more. reality. LOL
The line about the rule of thumb, means there used to be a law that a husband could beat his wife with a stick as long as it wasn’t bigger than the circumference of his thumb 😢
Guys ,I'm a sailor, but I grew up cowboying in the N Ga mountains. My little sister is 7 years younger than me. Women should be treated equally. If we can agree on that, can we agree, with exceptions, when you need the strength, and just all out I'll put it my body between you and harm, would you rather have a 5ft 100 lb girl/woman , or a 6ft 200 lb man between you and that danger? I'm all for equal rights. No reason not to. Unfortunately, not all situations are equal. I love that song,and sympathize, but thinking about how my dad treated my brother, and I ,compared to my sister ? She had some restrictions we didn't, but when it was 35 degrees, raining, and a cow,or horse, down in the pasture, or a fence down, my dad didn't yell for my sister. She was likely overly protected. Still is. My brother- in-,law is a retired Marine Corp Major. I do understand the frustration. Comes through well in the song. Capt.Bob, SV ( Sailing Vessel) 27th Chance, Tampa Fl, USA 🇺🇸
Asia and BJ, y’all would enjoy Gwen and Blake Shelton’s songs. It’s a tour of their love story. Add in Carson Daly…he officiated their wedding. When Blake was building their “house” on their ranch, Blake built Carson his own cabin/house. The friendship is beautiful.
I loved No Doubt! I remember I wanted pink hair when I was a young because of Gwen, but I neve4 did it. Love the 80's 90's 2000 music. I remember MTV Oasis, Duran Duran, Garbage, Linkin park, Placebo... the only 'new' artist that I 'adopted' is Louis Tomlinson because he makes music with those influences, I love his songs and writing style.
Been a fan of theirs since Eric, Gwen's brother, was in the band. Actually, Eric founded the band with John Spence. One of the best concerts I've been to as well. "Just A Girl" was their breakout hit from their 3rd album, Tragic Kingdom. A play on Disneyland being the "Magic Kingdom" because No Doubt is from Anaheim, CA where Disneyland is. Rocksteady is one of my favorite albums of theirs. "Hella Good", "Hey Baby", "Underneath It All" and they even did a song with Prince called "Waiting Room". I think it's a great album because they took it back to their roots of ska/punk band and they also recorded it in Jamaica. 😎👍
You gotta go back and see the actual video. I understand why you didn't show it here. She was mesmerizing to me as a sheltered teenage girl. I completely related at the time.
She is now married to Blake Shelton who is huge in country music. The made a country album together and since she has dabbled into the country genre. The have both been coaches on the talent show Voice.

Biggest favor her brother ever did for her, even though he didn't mean for it to be. Where's she now and where's he?
Ya she did well for someone with no rights.
cry me a river..Van Goghs Daughter doesnt bitch
@@TonyM1961 Well, I don't mean that he was right in his stance.. but he went on to being an animator on the Simpsons.. not a bad deal.

Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Hella Good", "It's My Life" and "Hey Baby"!!!
The whole album is dope. I miss this era.
We are all young then.
This is such a great funky tune by No Doubt. You should see her perform this live back in the day. Love her standing up for the ladies! You guys broke it down perfectly.☺🧡

This song speaks to every girl 🥰
I love that BJ gets it ♥️
BJ has a celebrity crush. 😄
i had this album on repeat in my sony walkman lol
Gwen has a unique and awesome voice and is a great songwriter and vocalist..
That Ska vibe drew me to No doubt. Great band. Sublime is another great band kicking that Ska and Reggae flow.
And Reel Big Fish lol
Might mighty bosstones
"Tragic Kingdom", the lp that this is off of is a really good album. Other good songs from it are "Spiderwebs" and "Sunday Morning". You guys have ready done "Don't Speak".
💕 Great song but you have to Watch the Official Video to really Appreciate the amount of Energy she puts into Singing this song. Gwen was Awesome! 🎶💃🏻
Definitely! No doubt is pure joy to the eyes!!
Is*
I bought this cd when I was 16. I’m 42 now and still have it. Loved being a teenager in the 90’s ☺️
Same here. I’ll be 40 in May. This was a 90s childhood
Why is Asia just so effortlessly beautiful?!?! Her smile is everything!
No Doubt were so good,I was gutted when Gwen went pop.😐
Gwen did this one, because her parents were super strict with her because she was a girl. You guys should check out Gwen & her hubby Blake Shelton's duets. My fav is 'Nobody but you' which is beautiful & then 'Anywhere with you' is a spunky one. It fun seeing & hearing her now, 20 plus years after this tune. She has a beautiful voice.

Gwen's voice is hypnotically feminine.
*****The Video to this is Great. You'd like GWEN STEFANI and PINK singing this together on an IHEARTradio Concert.
If you haven't already check out her video for Hollaback Girl. It's her response to a beef she had with Courtney Love who was lead singer for the band Hole and widow of Kurt Cobain who was lead singer of Nirvana.
We know who BJs celebrity crushed are now. Haha.
Great song. It reminds me of being young and fit. Long ago. Fun times 😩.... Spiderwebs is great too
Have you 2 seen kodi lee journey of you and I omg he's so talented just amazing
There's a GENERATION that misses "Cool Gwen"!!! 💯💯💯 😓
Be careful.. BJ Fiddin to get smacked like he never left.
Please react to "HEY BABY" by No Doubt
Beat songs from this album (tough to pick) would have to be Spider Webs, Sunday Morning, and Don't Speak.
Also, this song was way ahead of its time. It wasn’t a girls anthem or empowerment song back then, like it should have been and probably would have been today. I haven’t listened or read the actual lyrics for a long time. Great lyrics.
classic girrrl rocker! ♥
to be fair this song is like 25 years old
Could you both checkout chevelle door to door cannibals. I think you both will enjoy this. Great video and song
I've always loved No Doubt. For some odd reason I've always liked BathWater.
……why is that ‘odd?’
Gwen was my Girl in them 90s, the Band is from here Southern California (Orange County)… still watching their videos 👍🏽🔥🦋✨🧚🏽💫
The sarcasm is RICH! LOVE IT
It’s all true. Older brother had all the freedom. I had none. Nobody still will let me drive late at night and I’m 53 years old!!!!!! Totally feel this song.

BJ just steppin’ right into it. Asia calls it right out. Hilarious. We can all relate.
I saw them live at Tulane In1992😁
Please hoobastank-the reason
Now you should check out “Stupid Girl” by Garbage. The two songs came out in within months of each other. Similar themes. And Garbage is amazing!!
They definitely lived on TRL. They were huge when I was in middle and high school in the 90s & early 2000s.
No Doubt in my Twenties was everything !!!!!!
Pls check out No Doubt's Coachella performance 🎉🎉
Wife here..Hey.. , I just wanted to let you guys know that for some reason my comments are disappearing about half the time..I don't know what's going on..A couple of weeks this has been happening..🤔
she quantum leaped out of that cali sublime tribe.................for the better.
"Running" song reaction? Happy New Year's! 🎉 Listening December 2023.
Who ever is singing this opening music for your videos, please make it stop. It's bad.. it's really bad. Fast forward bad. Skip intro on Netflix shows bad. Plunge fingers in ears bad. Mute everything bad. It probably hurts your channel bad. It hurts my entire face bad. BAD. Stop it.
Could y'all react to Number to heaven by Justin Champagne next? Please
Bathwater is a great song by them as well.
Hey Bj remind Asia how much she went on and on over George Michaels during the Carless Whispers video 😄😉 ... Sorry Asia I couldn't resist 😉✌️

They never dated. They were friends.
They didn’t date. She did say she had a crush but that’s all.
Captain Marvel Song, not that traitorous singer who dumped her Milwaukee Band for a record contract.
Gwen Stefanie is the Queen of Ska married to the King of Country. Powerhouse couple.
Stefani *
Well, I'm just a squirrel, living in this awful world, makes me wanna hurl, so please don't hold my hand, wait what? haha.
Never get rid of the Reds hat BJ. It's fits like a glove Keep it for special occasions. Griff would approve.
Big props to the girls! I wouldn't want that job~!
No doubt played last night at Coachella. They play next Saturday too and they had one of the best sets. If yall have nothing to do that night you should watch their performance!
Yes, I remember those TRL days! Watched almost every day and voted for videos, esp since I was a BSB fan. 😏
Please react to Raheem Devaughn “Desire” please I promise you , you won’t regret it. It’s probably the sexiest song ever lol
"Spiderwebs" one of my fav No Doubt songs
She pisses & moans about how much of a burden it is being a girl. I think she's making it work to her advantage, wouldn't you say?
Gwen hasn't changed either, getting so many cosmetic procedures to try and remain younger than she is has made her unrecognizable. even well into middle age, women still know they're "just a girl" and pretty much nothing more. reality. LOL
You shouldn't do lyric videos you should watch the actual video of the song that makes it more better for the experience
LOL "why you always bringin up old stuff" 💀
He’s not trying you, vh1 countdown at 6 am before school was the shit
I knew she looked like Gwen Stephanie but I didn’t think it could be her because most of those actors can only read lines
you should have watched the video to it because it is so powerful and adding up to the music.
it's crime not watching the actual video :)
The line about the rule of thumb, means there used to be a law that a husband could beat his wife with a stick as long as it wasn’t bigger than the circumference of his thumb 😢
She has the worst voice ever. You have to be trained in voice to know that. Bless her heart, the fans don't care.
Better than Janis Joplin the worst talentless busted chainsaw voice that makes me puke. Why was she famous?
@@giorgiopalmas7934 WTF has Janis Joplin got to do with anything? Joplin had soul, though, and you're a fool not to hear it.
B J you need to play the song Got what i got by Jason Aldean( if you aint reacted to it yet.hahaha i played it for my wife.
My theme song from 19-21 class of 1994
Such a strong message love this song.
Really miss her No Doubt days…
I loved NoDoubt and I love Gwen's voice. ✌️❤
Watch them perform this live. Thats all that needs to be said.
So many awesome No Doubt songs to choose from.

This is nice, guys 👊👍😁
Great song, love the voice, verry good band. Huge hit in the Netherlands.
❤👊👍😁

Iconic song 🔥
