[@jasonsoper1918]

2023 and still a banger.. back in the good times

[@cuhgaming4943]

This gives me good vibes man. When the world wasn't depressed, when people actually went out and did something in the summer I miss it

[@clutchprodzisback]

agreed

[@joelbakerofskie1945]

I miss it too bott. When the word bott rolled off the tip of our tonguesl

[@katieburns5627]

it's disgusting how painfully accurate this song is

[@erustownsend9790]

Even more disgusting knowing the kid's age that is singing this...

[@MattyFreshTunes]

Erus Townsend How old am I?

[@TheMonsters20]

Erus Townsend hes in college you do realize that right?

[@erustownsend9790]

katelin munley no I do not as a lot of people think that he is 13 by the one line in the song. It is called a simple misunderstanding due to misinterpretation. I was actually introduced to this as him being 13 and hearing the line I then took it for fact.

[@PerplexMusicPa]

+Katie Burns ya coulda just stopped at disgusting

[@captainslauter3690]

it's crazy to think in 10 or 15 years from now our kids are gonna look back at this video and just be like this is really how you guys had fun?

[@kaydeeromig6580]

If you lived in skook, you'd know how lit it actually is. We sure know how to have fun, lmao.

To bad they put dirt on girfity

[@rykosnd]

Sounds like things haven't changed much back in the "Skook"! Had a good time growing up there in Pottsville back in the 70s & 80s. Seriously glad I made it out alive and not in jail!

[@paulzimmerman1227]

Michael Campion You’re in luck then because nobody makes it out of there without going to jail nowadays...

[@thomasneslon8005]

i think the people who dont like this song are just mad they didnt think of the idea first everything he said in the song is correct and im happy to live in the skook regaurdless of wat anyone says

[@fatalcontents9445]

Thomas Neslon I've seen other similar parodies of this song about hometowns even in the same region. This is the only decent one though.

[@prestongehring8329]

Why hate on him? He's just a young kid tryin to make dreams come true! Killed it Matt

[@michaelstrenkoski5912]

jammin to this full blast in my car in middle of dubai.. I miss the skook and all my friends back home. can't wait to chill with everyone.

[@rusty1415]

My dad grew up in Schuylkill, and when I visit, I often get questioned by local cops or concerned citizens if I'm walking around Ashland or Frackville covered in coal dust (I explore a lot) and all I have to do is mention my last name and they're like "I know who that is!" And I'm good. Never seen anything like it anywhere else. Guers ice tea with a burger with everything at Danny's, Fabrizio's sweet pizza, burgers and chips at the Manheim Diner, it's lit.

[@RebeccaBarnesx]

It makes me so happy to see others here who do musical things. So much potential around here. You're a great rapper and you did a great job writing the lyrics. Definitely impressed! Start making more videos, you'll have a good following soon!
