| for the first time i have actually experienced people who know what selling out means. i'm so sick and tired of bitchass punks who think that all music should be kept "underground" and call every band that gets the credit they deserve for their good work sell outs. i am so sick and tired of people a lot of the time. they really annoy me. this song is so rockin. i | |

| My god. I can't believe no one has commented on this song. This song is what got me addicted to Ska. RBF is just the best. They're stupid, funny, and have good songs. Too bad they can't go on tour all the way to south-east Asia. | |

| i agree with fuckyouall... 110%... you dont sell out because you get payed a shit load of money for your music, you sell out when you change your music FOR the money. therefor, reel big fish is a cool band and they didnt sell out. i think this song is a joke or whatever... but its good no matter what. | |

| My friend told me what this song was about and I agree with her. Basically its about a person who works in fast food and is in a band in his spare time. The band is good, but play 'unconventional' music. The person is sick of working in fast food and changes who he is to conform to what the record company wants him and his band to be like. His band now play and do what they want them to. The record companies decide what music should be like, the radio shows then play you what they want effecting directly what music the general public will get to hear. They decide whats the in thing and then you go out and buy it. Sadly thats the way it is. And this person is sad to be adding to it, but as he says, "You cant work in fast food all your life." | |

| Hey, noskasucks...I've downloaded videos they did post-sellout video. Maybe if you stopped jerking your room mates off long enough to look up some shit on RBF you would know that. You suck and everyone knows your little brother is hung. | |
