MxPx - Chick Magnet

[@AndroDjinn]

That skat bit has been in my head for about 2 decades now

[@Michael-pq4wd]

Me too! It's how I've remembered the song this whole time.

[@RA10H56]

Always

[@heidirainey629]

Same

[@CaptainRavioli]

It never goes away. I've never heard such deliberate scatting before or since and probably never will.

[@yingle6027]

His scat is seriously underrated

[@crashstitches79]

In the 90's, we called this "new school". Never ever thought I'd hear it called "old-school". Old-school punk rock is mid-late 70's, such as Ramones, Clash, Damned, Stiff Little Fingers, etc.

[@humanblacklight]

The 70s stuff... call it "original school" now. 😅

[@drums4b]

Old School is cliche. I say, listen to what sounds good. Who gives an old peoples fuck if its from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, etc. It's music!. Enjoy it.

[@Amieklo]

I can’t believe every word to this song is still buried deep in my brain 28 years later 🤯

Im 39 and don’t recall seeing this video on MTV. But I didn’t watch much MTV after 96 or so. I do recall watching this music video on Real Player in super low quality with lots of “buffering” sounding like it was played on a toy transistor radio in a bathroom.

[@ShawnGreyling]

one of the first bass riffs i learned to play... a whole 17 years ago.

[@earnedmystripes2382]

Same! 25 yrs ago

[@byoung1520]

The first bassline I learned to play back in 1999. I found my old bass in my parents' garage and it brought back old memories.

[@bobbyzig3879]

SAME hahaha

[@bolenbaby]

It's fuckin wild how this song was so many peoples first punk rock bass line they learned. Same here yahahaha

[@BasketballXMania]

15 years here hahaha

[@lanceroark6386]

When I was a prison guard, just before I quit, I played this song on the bass while a prisoner played the guitar. Punk AF.

Man, this type of music still hits me in the feels. Still jamming to this two decades later.

[@SHSscorp82]

This year marks 28 years since its release. MxPx & the Supertones are 2 of my all time favorite bands I still love listening to.

[@ant3372]

My first concert I ever went to was MxPx in Modesto, Ca back in the mid 90s and I have been a fan ever sense. They were my intro into punk music and I never looked back! Still one of my favorite bands to this day!

When i see my oldest son or my nephews out and about this always goes through my head

MXPX was me and my wife's first dates in the 90's...still going strong 20+ years

[@jaggedpoppet3921]

Nice! Congratulations! I can't even get a woman to look at me. Definitely not a chick magnet.

[@kush2874]

thats fuckin dope and wishin u many more years

I saw them 20 years ago and all I got was tinnitus. By far the loudest show I've ever been to.

[@eltrucc9091]

Lol

[@dancollins8296]

Hard to beat 90s videos

[@asmrsehole8572]

I remember seeing this on MTV circa 1998. The song, the humor, the subject matter--boffo. Purchased their albums ever since. Looking back 25 years, this kind "punk lite" was really great stuff, when they had good lyrics, good lyrical melodies, and powerful drums with simple power-chord guitars. IS THIS NOSTALGIA I FEEL??!

[@xenos_n.]

It's just early pop punk. That's what it was referred to back then.

[@tshirtfactory07]

Did you say good lyrics?

[@marciacaballero10]

grew up with this song, brings back good memories :D

[@Freedomfromfailure]

When I joined the MxPx fan club in the early 2000’s, we got a bunch of pins with Yuri’s face on them. My sister and I used to put them in places for other people to find who had never heard of MxPx. Their reaction was priceless. I loved how MxPx never took themselves too seriously.

[@crayonwriter]

I loved them at the time... Haha... Until the guitarist I forgot his name was trying to steal my girlfriend, asking her to come backstage CALLING MY HOUSE.... its been 20 years since that. So I have gotten over it now but it was not cool at the time. Yuri has been timed as one of the fastest drummers of all time on a side note. Since this song is abt him of course haha.

[@narutog]

I love yuri and his introvert way 😍😍

[@CaptainRavioli]

I remember making many photocopies of a picture of Yuri from one on the CD booklets and hiding them all over for people to find.

[@byelochka]

How this has less than a million views is some kind of internet voodoo mystery.

[@notyoursavior78]

Such a fun silly and good song back then and now. That bass lines rules.

[@Hawkman1972-lb7jy]

I can just listen to the bass line over and over....sorta jazzy, and the scat singing is ridiculous

[@CorzIlla]

2020 still here.

[@Marl5z]

2024 🎉 32 years old 😅

This is even better than I remembered!!!!

[@8MM4ME]

This was so fun when it came out on Sat. night TV. Was their having fun video & was great to see Yuri cut loose & be the chick magnet. A never forget, one in a million songs. They weren't actors, they were punk rawkers but it didn't matter. They were the best.

[@Dr_Opal_Winfinger]

Dude, Yuri walking in thru the glass door and ruffling his hair with full Pantene shampoo commercial panache and what appears to be a slight slow-mo effect is fucking hilarious. I don't know how I forgot about this song having an awesome video...

Nobody REALLY wants a "Chick Magnet". Love u Mxpx for your Wisdom.

First song I learned on bass, I was so young I can't even remember when

Their drummer is just amazing :)

[@BadCredit253]

First punk show I ever went to was The Ataris and All in Seattle in 2001. MXPX was just hanging out there and when I saw Yuri, I thought “what is Brian Posehn doing here?!”

[@awesome3271]

So annoyed with myself! Just saw these guys like 2 weeks ago, Met Mike and talked to him for a bit, took photos of him with strangers and basically acted as an unassigned photographer, and then I forgot to take one of me with him for myself. Good job, me. Good job.

favorite mxpx song.

[@tyrannosaurusburke]

I was 14 when I first saw this video on MTV2 (then known as M2). Back then, I saw the guy in this video and thought, "There's no way THAT guy could be a chick magnet". Now I watch the video and think, "I could learn a thing or two from that guy, especially that salt shaker trick".
