| God i love this song...i LOVE this song. If you've grown up in a small, closeminded town, full of people like this, there is no greater satisfaction than screaming it at the top of your lungs after a bad day at school. | |

| I love this song! I remember the first time I heard it, I fell on the floor laughing. "Wash your hair once every two weeks", that's my favorite part. | |

| I'm just writing this because no one else has said anything around what I think it means.. I think its about falling in love with someone who thinks along these lines, obviously being sarcastic and bitter, saying go ahead, be this way, you're so wonderful, you're so smart, you'll never know how the real world is. You'll never know how much it actually hurts. And that jerk or crybaby, that's me. | |

| I absolutely love this song. In fact, my ex-boyfriend's name is Johnny, so this song sort of applies. It really does stereotype everything, but the song is so right.. | |

| This song is so awesome. I love how it mocks everyone that is "popular" in high school. I am an avid fighter against these popular people and this song just helps so much. U kik ass Nada Surf!!! | |
