Russel Coight Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Even the people that like the album can surely agree that there is at least a few times on the record where a song would have been better without a certain “woah oh” or “na na”. So which one is it for you? My vote goes to the bridge on the song ‘California’. It would’ve been far, far better to instead write very easy guitar part that did the same thing the “nananananna woah oh” does. If you’re going to just say “all of them” just for the lolz you’re a cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodda Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Well the only songs I really enjoy in the Skiba era are Cynical and TOTTM and both of the mini-'wo oh' parts in those songs, while brief, are silly and unnecessary She's Out of Her Mind probably has the most obnoxious ones to me - live especially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I've put a lot of thought in this: 1. Hey, I'm Sorry: This one's the worst because it was actually a good song. They have absolutely no place in it, what is going on in that intro?? 2. She's Out Of Her..OMFG, this song makes blink sound like little preteen girls, especially the whoas. Shut up Mark. 3. No Future: Gang Nanas! With a tired sounding Mark lol. this song makes me want to drag my face through glass 4. Teenage Satelites: Really? A strung out "Whooaaa" end chorus? 5. Los Angeles: It sounds like Mark is having a seizure. 6. Rabbit Hole: This whoa-tactular outro sounds like a completely different band. A Feldy moment indeed. 7. San Diego: Shut up Matt. Seriously. Ruining yet again a potentially good song for no reason. 8. Cynical: These aren't as jarring but come on, pointlessly popping up in a good song.. 9. Left Alone: Just because this songs overrated and they have whoas going for an entire 1:03 of the song. 10. California: I actually don't hate this one because it sounds like the songs a troll, but WOW is that a whoa. California sounds better than NINE on revisit, mainly due to it still having resemblance of instruments, but glad they dialed back on these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yodda Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 All right guys have your little tea party somewhere else please ^ It does beg the question why past instances of their 'na na's' work so well e.g. Party Song, Online Songs, All the Small Things, Story of a Lonely Guy Is it because the above mentioned songs 'na nas' are given their own individual interesting melody whereas most of the na nas on California copy the chorus melody most of the time (No Future, California) or their just dull melodies (Parking Lot). Am I reading too much into this? Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Outside of just saying all of them, the one that bugs me the most are the ones on No Future. I actually don't mind No Future as a song, I actually genuinely like the stupid chorus but they pad the song out with the gang na na na's freakin' twice. and it's unnecessary, and annoying, and I'm almost shocked they didn't release it as a proper single because that's the only logical reason I can think of to pointlessly do that. Those na na nas are why I don't listen to the song. There's loads of California ones where I just *cant* because of the annoying repetitions but No Future is the one where it bugs me because if those weren't there I'd probably have the song on a playlist or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I don't know about the "worst" one, but Parking Lot literally made me laugh out loud the first time I heard it. We had just spent a year complaining about whoa oh's and na na's, and then Parking Lot came out and hit us with more whoa oh's and na na's. I cracked up on that first listen. I actually kinda like the song, but I thought that was so funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thongrider Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 The one on Sober is pretty annoying, but it's not that noticeable. Most of the annoying ones are on deluxe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fran.182 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 The only California song in which the "na na nas" work and sound natural is "Sober". They actually help the song build up, explode... As for the worst, it's a tie between "No Future" and "Parking Lot". Both plain ridiculous... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
