Punk Rock 101
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Punk Rock 101 is a song by Texas pop-punk band Bowling For Soup. It appeared on the second release of their 2002 album Drunk Enough to Dance.
- The lyric "Like Tommy and Gina/They're living on a prayer" is a humorous reference to Bon Jovi's song Livin' on a Prayer.
- The title of the song is a reference to Kurt Cobain's suicide note.
- "It's stupid, contagious" is a reference to lyrics from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". ("I feel stupid and contagious")
- The song appeared on the video games NHL 2004 and Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This at Home.
- It also appeared on the film Zoom.
- It has been speculated that this song is contradictory, as it is bands like Bowling for Soup that are the very "Punk Rock 101" that they claim to be angry about.
