Wow. What a blast from the past. Middle school/early high school gold right here. Unironically a fuckin bop though. And an honest-to-god decent punk song. Like…way moreso than a lot of things at the time that called themselves “punk.”

Was in high school when this came out and it was inescapable. Good song.

It’s so emblematic of the comedy of the early 2000s. I don’t know how to describe it, but the skinny, white, nerdy guy being “too cool” was like the running joke. That’s not even it, but man, what a time to be a skinny, white guy, huh? You had all the heroes

Wait. 2000s? I thought Sifl & Olly were mid/late 90s?

Blast from the past indeed. I’ve never heard this song with it not being part of an anime music video.

Interesting. I don’t know the anime video part. My past this fits into was around 2003 when it came out. Was there a renaissance for the song in anime form later on? Or was his around the same time

Two sock puppets with a cable-access show on a super-late-night slot notorious for catering to stoners and other malcontents is punk as fuck? I’d disbelieve, but I’d be lying with every syllable. Fuck yeah! Sifl & Olly forever!

edit: I was stoned most of the mid-90s onward, so I could’ve sworn it was “Ollie”, not “Olly”. My bad, fam.

I was one of those malcontented stoners, and I remember the looks you’d get telling people about Sifl and Olly. Then they’d watch it and come back to tell you how wrong they were to doubt you.
