You should definitely check out Rina Sawayama’s album. The guitars on that rip harder than the guitars on a lot of rock albums nowadays. You’ll love it. Dynasty has a sick solo. And stuff like Who’s Gonna Save You Now, STFU, and XS just fucking rock. I have no idea how she isn’t the biggest pop star in the world right now. Also you might like Poppy. She started off as sort of a bubblegum pop pastiche and then pivoted into being like sort of an American answer to Babymetal. Though at this stage I think Poppy’s stuff has become more embraced by the metal community than the pop one.
Gwen made this song just after leaving a punk rock band that she’d been in for 16 years. Probably explains why her pop songs are on the heavier side. I love it.
@@JukeJonathan That's where we differ in opinion. The song was popular, but not #1 record in the US popular. While many would say it was the best song on the album, it was very underrated in comparison to how it performed on the charts in relation to her contemporaries.
@@bellab6794 According to Genius: ''Stefani acknowledges the repeated cycle we see of female popstars, such as Britney Spears or Lady Gaga, who are “born” to be “mega popstars”, but inevitably fade out of the public eye when their time is up.''
I remember this track coming out and it not being that big of a deal. It's actually amazing. And you can hear it's influence in so many tracks that came after it. It would still sound new if it was released today.
I saw her walking through a casino in Vegas when she was out on tour for this album and she was so insanely beautiful that I think she literally had like an aura around her.
Pop stars today didnt care about the messege of a song just throw bunch of swear words and show some a** on music video. Sad but it is what it is. This song is a gold.
This song is the epitome of pop music. It has it all: the gimmicks, the catchy melody, the recognizable vocal fingerprint. Not only is it radio-friendly, it is also top notch in terms of production.
@@CarbonBeast Sometimes it takes getting older to realize how much you never knew about yourself. And I don't mean turning 90. I mean, in your 30s, for some people it is their 40s, you begin to see how much you COULD have done when you were younger. But you didn't. And sometimes you then feel like it might be too late. Because there is always a catch to what you want to do and where you want to be... and that catch is TIME. There is always a process to accomplish something, to become the person you thought you could be - or the person you never even thought of, but now you KNOW and now you feel discouraged because you have finally figured it out, but you just NEED MORE TIME. Well, this song... it helps to put our minds in the perspective of "it is NOT too late." That's it. Honestly, it is just that simple. And by that, I mean it is just that fucking complicated. Because when you get older, when you pass that 20s threshold of "I have infinity and beyond"... you complicate and you doubt yourself and you lose perspective. And then you lose hope. But this message - it is a reminder and a proper kick in the ass that we just gotta get the fuck out of that failure mindset! And do what we need to do , what we CAN STILL FUCKING DO, to make something of ourselves. RIGHT NOW. Not later. Not tomorrow. And goddammit, not fucking yesterday or fifteen years ago. Do. It. Now. Because we are all still super hot females and males and people (hot means driven! it means full of life and love!) and we have so much life within us to be human, and be great, and be ourselves... and we all matter. And we can all make a difference to whatever it is we need and want to. We just need to believe in ourselves. Fuck any haters and their criticism. You be you. You are human, you are amazing, and you fucking matter. So whatcha waiting for? Get off your ass and be the person you know you fucking are. We all support you. We are all in the same boat one day or another. xo Love and Respect to every person. 💖✌

The song was ahead of its time. Hollaback Girl saved the album (and made the album and her solo launch huge), but this song was what best represented who Gwen wanted to be as a solo artist back then. Pop, eclectic, fun, adventurous, but always with a wink and a conscientiousness on knowing how ridiculous she was being. Loved her then, love her now.

@@_blank-_ not a lot of ppl talk about on how amazingly produced her music was. She created a whole genre of pop which influence alot of artist specially pc music
Trey Stephens I guess you mean the Marilyn Manson fans. I, particularly, do not find it original, I find it extravagant. Overacting and their songs are horrible. Sorry to vent me, but I'm not one of those who connect with artists that I do not like to put a "I do not like" but this case is the case to say it. I do not like The Queen either and I have never put a finger down because my way of saying I do not like it, is not even enter their videos.
@Tobbe Häggberg My only problem is, you're taking too long getting this spaceship of enlightenment off the ground. I'm already hitting the stratosphere and i can see heaven, but without your cosmic guidance I'm not sure the gatesof Heaven will accept my heathenistic, yet repenent soul.
@Tobbe Häggberg my bad, I thought you knew where we were going. I dont trust a speilbergian knowledge of the universe, seems a little unrealistic to me.
Gwen Stefani literally had writers block when she came up with this song! Even with writers block she was still creative enough to write this very interesting song. Now that is what I call true Talent!
The song of the past! xD I tried to dance to this song while I was a kid and singing but the singing didnt even match the song xD I remember, wow this took me a long time to find this song and its 2017 ! Oops
I'm more interested in how heavely inspired it was by US Vogue's Alice editorial, that weird garden editorial from Meisel at VI and those are the obvious ones.
I remember when I listened to this song for first time, it was exactly twenty years ago, I was in my first year of high school too, it's amazing this song takes on time, it is simply wonderful because making me self very young.
Still hits like a ton of bricks. You can picture Gwen on stage pouring out the energy, stomping the stage, maybe a really crunchy lead guitar matching the keyboard melody... yeah. 🔥
@@CameronL-l5kI think they’re talking about Meg thee stallion probably sampling her song but I don’t know since that’s the only recent day artist I know named Meg
She was 34 when she did this song so that’s probably why it resonates more with you at 31. I’m her age and this song resonated with me a lot back then.
An amazing video, Gwen has an an obvious penchant for Japan with her references to Tokyo and of course the Harajuku girls. She was well ahead of the game with this one. In no sense would i ever think of describing it as old. A real masterpiece!
It’s December 13, 2020 and somehow the songs sounds better now than it did when it first came out? IDK, maybe it was ahead of its time. It was definitely a very different type of song back then. Still sounds very original.
I personally discovered Gwen and became a huge fan thanks to her solo career then discovered she was in band before that so yeah she definitely did good when she went solo because she's had far more exposure and success.
This is one of my favorite videos ever. This was way too much for 2004. The idea was brilliant, so surreal, so couture (who else wears John Galliano for Dior Haute Couture, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, in the same video!) No one does such a stylish art work these days, but its good to see an OC girl who didn't care and went crazy in the best way. Bravo
My mum used to play this when I was younger when it first came out, in the last half year to year I added it to my playlist I mostly skipped it due to the intro and usually listening in my car and wanting to make the most out of my journey by listening to song that I love, recently I gave it a chance and I’m addicted to it, the emotions it conveys are very powerful
I remember back in 2004 when I was about 10 years old and feeling so inspired when she sang " Life is short, you're capable". I'm 25 now and this song still feels so... TIMELESS.
Ditto! The exact same age and everything, I have not heard this in ages and actually getting kinda teary listening to it now 🙄 god knows why 😂 nostalgia I guess!
Indeed something you never heard, because they made sure to throw out "dirty" words from the original version that would make you question your chastity. Disgusting.
this song aged like a fine wine. if it was released tomorrow i think it would chart higher than it did 20 years ago
thats so real

It’s December 13, 2020 and somehow the songs sounds better now than it did when it first came out? IDK, maybe it was ahead of its time. It was definitely a very different type of song back then. Still sounds very original.
When this song came out it blew my mind, and it still does!
This song will bang for generations to come. The video is also superb 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
I've heard too many people saying that Gwen never should've gone solo which I never understood because she's great even solo!
Unfortunately Ska never really hit mainstream, only Gwen!
I personally discovered Gwen and became a huge fan thanks to her solo career then discovered she was in band before that so yeah she definitely did good when she went solo because she's had far more exposure and success.
It's hard to believe this song is 15 years old. I always liked this video because of the Alice in Wonderland theme.
2004 why is there computers in the video they had those back them
Same !!!!!! I am9
Computer's have existed since 1971.
@@magicslave3066 apparently they did
@@lupask They did no eay
In 2004, as a 13 year old, I listened to this song 20 times a day. In 2021, as a 30 year old, that habit begins again today. 🖤
Hey, I'm 61. Reminds me of when it was released. Don't grow OLD. Grow with the times. Something to look forward to, and look back upon. Cheers.
🥳🥳🥳

Yea pop music was definitely better back then, I know every generation thinks that about when they were teens but now its definetly true.

Man this song is so slept on for a 15yr old song
Shout out to Megan for resuscitating this song

Who’s Megan?
Who the fuck is megan?
Lmaoooo
Meghan Thee Stallion - BOA
This song just randomly reached its way out of the very core of my being and memories of great times.
This is one of my favorite videos ever. This was way too much for 2004. The idea was brilliant, so surreal, so couture (who else wears John Galliano for Dior Haute Couture, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, in the same video!) No one does such a stylish art work these days, but its good to see an OC girl who didn't care and went crazy in the best way. Bravo
Way ahead of its time for sure.

This is Legendary.
I feel so sorry for all the people who have yet to rediscover this track.
My mum used to play this when I was younger when it first came out, in the last half year to year I added it to my playlist I mostly skipped it due to the intro and usually listening in my car and wanting to make the most out of my journey by listening to song that I love, recently I gave it a chance and I’m addicted to it, the emotions it conveys are very powerful

Danger Zone was also terrific. Wish a vdo would
have been made that was as good as this.
Ditto
We don't get music videos like this anymore. I long for their return.
One of the best pop songs ever written
One of the greatest pop songs of all time , it's fantastic
Loved her since I was 16. I’m 44 now and still listen to her ❤2023
.
Keep listening to funky music!!🙂
on 2023 yes 2024
This video and song will ALWAYS be ahead of it's time.
LEGENDARY.😌🙏
This track & video is still fire 🔥, even in 2023. One of the hottest albums of the 2000s. Thank you Gwen Stefanie ❤️.
This intro is increble! Back when videos were interesting to watch!!
Damn idk why but these lyrics are hitting me so crazy right now
Sameeeeeeee literally
I remember back in 2004 when I was about 10 years old and feeling so inspired when she sang " Life is short, you're capable". I'm 25 now and this song still feels so... TIMELESS.
Same bro !! Im 25 :( its sad how the time past fast
Ditto! The exact same age and everything, I have not heard this in ages and actually getting kinda teary listening to it now 🙄 god knows why 😂 nostalgia I guess!
Gwen is simply perfect
Aaaah still fresh even from back then! ❤ What ever happened to the 4 Harajuku girls? They were literally throughout this album inspo
It's so rare to hear pop that's incredibly catchy, yet like nothing you've ever heard.
Indeed something you never heard, because they made sure to throw out "dirty" words from the original version that would make you question your chastity. Disgusting.
She is one of the most stunning creatures on earth ever
For all times
