Top 100: #62

Number 62: Blink-182 - Dammit
Album: Dude Ranch, 1997.
Added 8/30/09, 42 plays.



On the one hand, this is exceedingly simple song, with lyrics that sound like they were written while watching TV. On the other hand, it's really catchy, and I've gone through a breakup like this, I think most of us have.

He just wanted to go to the movies, and start get on with his life. But then he sees her, and it all comes flooding back. Yes, it is a big deal when the new guy fucks her. It isn't until later on, when things start to settle and you can not be so negative that the chorus really applies.

Also, I emjoy when the name of the song isn't a line from the song, but rather something that captures the mood or essence of a song. Here, it's that moment of resignation, where you know you're not getting the girl back, when you just kinda lower your head and whisper, under your breath, "dammit."

I guess this is growing up.
