Your musical tastes were about 49,000 feet above the Clash, as lovable as they were.
Another band you probably missed: The Dead Milkmen, and their big hit Bitchin’ Camaro.
Bitchin’ Camaro, bitchin’ Camaro - just ran over my neighbor
Bitchin’ Camaro, bitchin’ Camaro - now it’s in all the papers
I have heard this song. But it’s amazing how many popular songs that people think I should know. Part of the issue is that I only have one CD (don’t judge me) from the 80’s. Got a few of the grunge groups from the 90’s though.
My son was wearing a Ramones t-shirt one day. My brother-in-law asked him who the Ramones were. BIL was in high school during the height of the Ramones popularity but even decades later, he still hadn’t heard of the Ramones.
I think he was listening to disco instead.
Aaarrggghhhh…
Yup, completely missed that one too… just listened to it and it turns out I didn’t miss a lot 
although I always like a good walking bass, and appreciated the semi-quotes/parody of an old Door’s tune.
All good, I’m pretty much that way with pretty much everything after 2000. I’m allowed though…I’m old. LOL
A co-worker once told me they’d give me $50 on the spot if I could name a single Taylor Swift song, and I came up empty. I don’t have the first clue about popular music.
That video seems a bit elementary, redundant and gratuitous. Doesn’t make me want to rush out and buy the album. But i reallyvstarted tuning out when vapid video imaging became as important as song craft and musicianship.
@LAUte: Is that how everyone drives in LA?
Only in certain sketchy parts of town.
She’s also not wearing a seatbelt. Where are the cops when you need em?
How can we give negative stars? For putting that song in my head.
I have a bunch of Dead Milkmen songs on my Punk playlist, but not that one.
How is that possible?
The antidote to earworms is… more powerful earworms!
It’s definitely on purpose. I can listen to the whole Big Lizard album and just skip that song.
Same for Suicidal Tendencies and Institutionalized. Overplayed and too gimmicky.
I will drink just one Pepsi tonight in honor of your wrongness. 
Lovely. I guess I’m Alone. How will I laugh tomorrow. . .?
I prefer Black Velvet Flag’s cover of Institutionalized. May be considered more enjoyable by others.
I had the rare treat of seeing Modest Mouse live twice this past weekend… Friday night concert here in Seattle, then Sunday at Lumen Field for the Seahawks halftime show.
Thinking about their illustrious career and how they’ve managed to stay true to indie rock while making music for the masses, a la REM. Meanwhile their songs stick in my head for days on end.
And it still blows me away that Johnny Marr was in the band for a couple years… this one’s from that era.
