LOST FOR WORDS!!| The Offspring - Why Don't You Get A Job? REACTION

[@ineedmoneyi5463]

Fun Fact: This song was done to the tune/cadence of The Beatles "ob-la-di ob-la-da"

[@TTFMjock]

With some Celia thrown in to avoid copyright infringement.

[@jrmarcus]

"Done to" is a nice way to say "ripped off." I like the song, though.

[@druepettigrew1739]

Honestly, I can't not hear "Moving Right Along" on The Muppet Movie. It''s got a very similar beat.

[@Rippypoo]

Thank you. As soon as the chorus came in, I knew right away. I was hoping it wouldn’t take me long to find a comment referencing this Beatles tune. I wasn’t disappointed. This tune is OK, but it just makes me want to hear the Beatles more. BE SAFE. Peace...✌️

[@arekkrolak6320]

There are even some lyrical references - "La la how the life goes on" vs "Na na why don't you get a job" - both songs are awesome!

[@lauraschram427]

I just here smiling at my screen ... I miss the 90's... oh no.. I'm that person now..

[@stevenwallace7002]

I'm 53 and turning into Bill Burrs worse nightmare. I say " kids turn that down it's not music"

[@chrismorgan283]

The Offspring just jump right in...lol. Every verse in this song is someone's truth. I love this song ❤❤❤.

[@Calinicus72]

Dexter Holland, the lead singer, has a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Master's degree in Molecular Biology, both from the University of Southern California. Dexter was a Ph.D. candidate in Molecular Biology; however, he abandoned his Ph.D. in favor of focusing on The Offspring, according to IMDB. He is also an FAA licensed Airline Transport Pilot. He owns and flies a 2003 Cessna Citation jet 2. And, on top of that, he graduated from my high school way back before I attended! 🤯

[@CraigKostelecky]

You’re info is a little out of date. He completed his Ph.D a few years ago. 🤓

[@jules2129]

My son goes to that high school.

[@stt5v2002]

At some point, they must have said “there are a lot of people who are in bad relationships with freeloaders, and it is making them miserable or angry.. No one is talking about it. Let’s write a song about that.” Great execution. And the video is fantastic. One guy literally flies in out of nowhere and speaks the truth. Pretty soon, the entire town is on board.

[@tK-be6ns]

It comes from an episode of Ricki Lake Show, that they caught while writing this album.

[@audiochicky]

Please do THE OFFSPRING - COME OUT AND PLAY. It has MULTIPLE awesome guitar licks. It kicks serious ass.

[@Sim_racer_40oz]

Come out and play was inspired by the movie. warriors

[@rmkeegan4934]

I 2nd that!

[@newgrl]

@@Sim_racer_40oz "Warriors" is such a terrible and awesome movie at the same time. I love that thing.

[@hugomsb9391]

Not having the "hey that's something everyone can enjoy" at the end of the song it's giving me some OCD vibes. Great reaction as always.

[@rmkeegan4934]

It didnt phase me until I saw your comment and read the " " in the old lady voice 🤣 thanks for the nostalgia!

[@DucksPodcast]

The Offspring: Bad Habit You want a song everyone can relate to and is a release of anger, that's the one. You're right, they have different sounds and are more varied than I gave them credit for back in the day.

[@heathermencer3759]

Agreed! Bad Habit is my favorite

[@justjody8849]

My favorite to listen to when driving!! LOL

[@steveduncan9256]

I love this song

[@CynicalGear]

If you notice this is actually the set of back to the future you can see the clock Tower in the background at one point.

[@CraigKostelecky]

2:54 is when the clock tower is most visible

[@chrisbaird4204]

"Courthouse Square". Been appearing in productions since the 1940s

[@mmtot]

The girl in it with the bum boyfriend was in The Pussycat dolls.

[@firestrike9917]

The Offspring was my soundtrack to my college years. Lolz so damn good and funny too. JAY'S reactions 🤣have been on point.🤣🤣🤣

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Come Out and Play and You're Gonna Go Far should definitely be next. You will know it's The Offspring, but they will sound completely different yet again. I was fortunate to see them live back in the day. Such a high energy, fun concert that was. Typical Offspring.

[@andreagaldames577]

You are missing "Original Prankster".

[@calliemiano9259]

Its so great to see the low rider guy made it out of the hood long enough to make another appearance 😂

[@TanyaQueen182]

ahhh the days when we still had a sense of humor in the world lol

[@Tables-zm7db]

Yes

[@jeanmacdonald7988]

Smart and a wicked sense of humor combined with a great sound. I love this band. Can’t wait until you do Come Out And Play.

[@thefullnomad6543]

Did ya spot it? They're in the set from Back to the Future! That's the city hall with the clock tower they light up with lightning to get Marty back to 1985. :) The Offspring was played at EVERY PARTY I ATTENDED in the 1990s. Just awesome.

[@tjmctube]

Inspired by the Beatles "Ob-la-di ob-la-da." Immediately came to mind the second I listened to this. Lots of fun. Love it.

[@1974dormouse]

They ripped it off and got sued for it.

[@bobgent.2391]

@@1974dormouse where are you getting that info from? I’m pretty sure no lawsuit was ever filed.

[@demonslover]

This song was everywhere when it came out. I remember some kids at school making up skits to this song.

[@kathrynmcintosh2726]

Try reacting to the Prodigy song called Firestarter please.

[@deathproofpony]

OOO that's a great song.

[@LuLu-Sil]

YES PLEASE!!

[@samvakarian]

Or breathe. Just please not smack my bitch up.

[@mycroft16]

That song is incredible. Oh, going to listen now. Haven't heard that in a while.

[@keiran_wilkinson]

there's one word you said in the video that describes the offspring with that single word! RELATABLE! and there album they released this year is just so them, it's like they had this all recorded back in the day n saved it for now 🙌

[@Beirdo1]

I love your reactions, man! This song has made me laugh just about every time I've heard it :) ever since it came out.

[@karlsmith2570]

Fun Fact: Starting @2:39 the host in the game show scenes is a real-life gameshow host Bob Eubanks, who has hosted game shows like "The Newlywed Game" and "Card Sharks"

[@williammiles4638]

Love The Offspring! Tongue in cheek, hilarious and sometimes kinda deep!! 👍🏻

[@mariestriplin5164]

I love love this song. One of my favorite songs . Woooooo

[@kenttaylor9238]

Another great one by the Offspring. I always thoughted it sounded a lot like "Obla di Obla da" by the Beatles.

[@PsychoGallagher]

You know what? I've known this song since it came out but today it was the first time that I had that same thought in my mind! I didn't have a specific Beatles song in my mind, but it was the Beatles. It was just the instruments they were using. I would have gone more in the direction of Penny Lane but no, you're absolutely right! It's definitely sounding like Obla Di... :)

[@PHILPOP2]

True

[@nachoman408]

Ah... good old clock tower square from back to the future

[@jasonberezny9705]

It is deliberately lifting the Beatles bass line and vocal melody in tribute. 🤘❤️🇨🇦

[@adams9586]

I won't pay, I wont pay ya, no way. La la la la life goes on.

[@18dcallaway]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ you can sing this without feeling bad 😂😂😂😂😂 classic!!

[@nachoman408]

3:00 ah...good old clock tower square from back to the future!

[@rowanmayfair9249]

Also, this is the Male version of TLC's No Scrubs

[@kenhall6525]

Hey, that's something everyone can enjoy 😊

[@lasciethiesing2219]

I heard this song on the radio yesterday and thought you should hear this one. Now here it is! Lol.

[@oldyellerschannel4676]

WOW...What is this??? FOUR Offspring songs now??? I'm thinking you're a FAN!!! Good for you...they ARE AMAZING!! Thanks for doing this!!!

[@Crackoneopen]

Spot on! The Offspring are here to entertain:)

[@faithavery5145]

i saw them live last year with simple plan and it was SO fun im so glad to see people appreciating them. i always felt like they were really underrated but i grew up listening to them with my mom and they’re so nostalgic for me

[@Boatzilla2]

Such a cool little song. These guys are fantastic. Love your reactions, as always.

[@keetahbrough]

I LOVE THIS SONG lol memories 🥰☺️

[@saxyroro]

You'd love Fountains of Wayne Stacy's Mom. Catchy as hell with a great video.

[@acoustic49]

Hi, Great vid, A reaction I would love to see is Del Amitri Roll to me great to see that, best wishes Jeff

[@andrees8653]

Omg it's been so long Lol the nostalgia!

[@SteveODonnell]

The video was filmed on the Universal backlot. You'll notice the houses from Desperate Housewives and the town square from gremlins and back to the future.

[@iggs67]

Hit that is another great song.

[@mst1740]

There's a song by them called I Want You Bad - I might have the title wrong. Great song though.

[@stucclikechucc]

this was one of my first cd's back in the day this is a gret song

[@slippinjimmy369]

by far one of the best timeless bands. Listened to them as a kid and now at 32 I still love their songs.

[@black4pienus]

I still smile every time I hear your intro music. It's perfectly cheezy. lol

[@radiovisionaria]

Next song react for Offspring: "Come Out And Play"

[@denistuohy2535]

Probably their best song tbh at least in my opinion

[@jeremyfalkner9223]

Obladi oblada life gooesss oonnnn

[@robertwill23]

It's Beatles "Obla-Di Obla-Da". Same melody.

[@kerry7713]

These guys are so much fun in concert. 20 years later this song still gets the crowd nutsssssssss

[@mangerinegirl]

I knew the song well but had never seen the video before. This was fun! I got excited to see the guy at the end, too.

[@sphinx3r]

Fun fact: The city they're walking around in for most of the video is the Back to the Future set.

[@samkeepintherockalive]

Cool band The Offspring. Great song to the melody of The Beatles "OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA"

[@durv13]

too many songs to suggest , amazed . come out and play . million miles away . all fantastic .

[@Charsept]

Hahaha, I love this one. The offspring songs are so funny sometimes. it's all real talk.

[@Supersquishyawesomeness]

This song is an anthem 😂

[@SimoExMachina2]

Their song "Bad Habit" from the album Smash was what introduced me to this band back in the 90's. Featured pretty much all the swear words I knew at time point, as a non-native English speaker. I was instantly hooked.

[@kathleech8044]

I am a 47 year old woman binging on your reaction videos when I should be getting ready for work..............

[@wandameadows5736]

Offspring "Gone Away" came in 6th in 2005 Greatest Hits. It was written by lead singer Dexter Holland in an emotional response to his girlfriend’s death in a car accident. This song was what put them on the world stage.

[@lilitharam44]

The Kids Aren't All Right is my fav Offspring song. Keep up the great work! Still hopin' to see Rump Shaker or Tootsee Roll song!

[@davidsykes6584]

They really are a great band to have seen live as well, I saw them with Cyprus Hill they both killed that night.

[@crispyharris8885]

Americana album.... Was my first introduction the these guys. And remains in my top 10 albums ever.

[@catsup27]

I saw them live in 2019 pre COVID. They are still great and sound good live! ❤️💯

[@cisaraunome]

Buongiorno dall'Italia, fratello. Sei il numero uno.

[@omegagilgamesh]

Hey, one of my favorite songs, let alone one of my favorite Offspring songs, is "She's got issues." It was one of their lesser hits, IIRC, but I feel it's brilliant.

[@howandwhy7236]

Listen to Gone Away by them! different sound totally!

[@HawkFan30]

I like that you have a ELO poster on your wall. Jeff Lynne is 1 of the best and underrated composers of the last 50 years. Good to see the love is appreciated by others aswell.

[@shericampbell-husband2528]

Admittedly, this was new to me, and it was totally hilarious!

[@black4pienus]

My niece and her friends partied with the Offspring after they performed in theNetherlands. She had the guitar player on the back of her bicycle going to a different spot to party! How freaking Dutch is that. Cabs? Fuck that. Bicycle rides are free. lol

[@eddietorres1000]

After 15 years of not recording they are come out with a New Album soon

[@DaP84]

Uhm, album before next drop was "Days Go By" from 2012, no 15 years between those, almost 9 years though. I know it was pushed back several times from it's initial intended release in 2010, but they continued writing and working on it til it was released

[@derekspace]

The Offspring...they don't copy nobody. A very rare breed. They are original. Love those guys.

[@unicaller1]

Another great Offspring song that no as many people know is Dirty Magic, there an awesome acoustic version they did that you can find on KZbin.

[@missymissy5921]

I love your reactions, man. You're so authentic and fun.

[@franklinzappa7043]

Offspring Live at Birthday Bash in Colorado USA. 🎼🎼🎼🎼

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

Americana was one of my favourite albums of all time. There were some really unbelievably good songs on it even aside from the singles, such as the title track, Have You Ever/Staring at the Sun and Pay the Man.

[@spedboy1966]

"Spare me the details" THE OFFSPRING

[@BulaPc]

You need to react to “Dakota” by stereophonics

[@tinalschmidt-banks3415]

This is my Favorite song by them

[@topcatt4100]

Love the channel. Couple of suggestions for you. Missing by everything but the girl (Todd Terry remix) such a classic. Or true faith by new order. Dont know if you've done them already. 👍

[@kassandrajeffery7035]

Man, I haven't seen or heard this song in sooo long!

[@MrJuma1978]

Cruisin California! Awesome song from offspring

[@barbaratoth6346]

The Offspring are masters at biting social commentary

[@Budini67]

"The kids aren't all right" -- Perfect example.. imho.

[@knightngail1]

Short, sweet and straight to the point...🤣

[@warkdiringaming]

Have you heard 'What happen to you?' It's by Offspring also. One of my fav actually.

[@Bradds68]

You must try “Frontier Psychiatrist ” by the Avanlanches it was a hit in the UK. It will freak you out 👍

[@molsongrrrl]

Love that song!

[@Dexy83]

I Iove when reaction vids remind me of fun songs!

[@nicolette2866]

Omg your reaction at the beginnng of the video, 😂😂😂

[@knightlife98]

The Offspring is Legend!

[@osiristhesand1234]

Damn, this is a nice song

[@rmkeegan4934]

Love the reaction thank youu! Love hearing the 90s alternate rock! I'll temp you with checking out Marcy Playground "Sex and Candy".. let's see if you can resist! Great reactions tonight as always and I heard 2 new songs I've never heard before, following along, thank youu!

[@denisav3089]

"Hit That" is another great song

[@ko5906]

I remeber being a kid and my dad really liked this song he could relate haha 😃

[@Felicety1989]

Nice to see you evolve and get *even more* more confident as your vids go! You got the charisma, keep it going hun :-)

[@otakubancho6655]

One of the funniest and underrated bands from the 90s!🤘🤘🤘

[@teresas8173]

You have to read about the lead singer.... he’s an amazing, talented, accomplished and brilliant guy, literally! Some people just have it all.... 👍

[@mrright3277]

Check out their song 'Gone Away'. The subject matter is serious...not silly like this and 'Pretty Fly for a White Guy'.

[@Kell-hee-hee-hee]

Hey, I'm sure these have been suggested but the 1st song I remember was "Come Out and Play," living in ATL, young, and listening to an Alt-Rock station. Anyway, "Gone Away," "All I Want" and "Gotta Get Away" are also good. "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" is a more recent hit ('08), others are 90s, I think. They are actually considered punk. I think Green Day is, too, for that matter. They aren't my favorite people but they have many other good songs: "When I Come Around," "Basket Case," "American Idiot" (I think it's probably insulting...), "Hitching A Ride," "Brain Stew," "Good Riddance (The Time of Your Life)," "Redundant," "Longview," "She" & "Welcome to Paradise." Suggestions! Thanks for your Offspring reactions. Enjoy your weekend!

[@Sim_racer_40oz]

Have you done Gone away? From the offspring... it’s completely different from their other songs and I’m sure you will love it ! 👍

[@marcusstephen5872]

Reminds me of my grandmother every time. "The Kids Aren't Alright" is another change o pace.'

[@mbsnyderc]

Now you should do the Beatles Ob-la-di ob-la-da then you will know why you should do it.

[@oldyellerschannel4676]

YOUR REACTION TO THE FIRST LYRIC...LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!

[@GetOnTheFloor82]

Want You Bad - amazing Offspring song.
