I only have a wife and she doesn't find me particularly funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fun song. totally. i disliked it at the time, mostly due to the video which repositioned the image of the band and dramatically shifted blink's audience. but, ironically, it has aged well. just lacks the teeth of some of my favorite enema tracks, like "dysentary gary" or "wendy clear." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly might be my favorite song off Enema along with Anthem. I remember when the video came out. Kids in school no longer asked me what the fuck blink-182 was when I wore my bunny shirt. They would now say "oh they run naked on MTV". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being on the East Coast in a smaller city, Dude Ranch was unknown so it took Enema for me to feel that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucko Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 WMAA is the ultimate POP-punk song. This is the song I immediately think of when someone mentions the genre. IMO it is their best 'single' release'. It just takes me back to being a silly twat at primary school and managing to convince my entire class that Blink were the best band in the world. Roll on a few months and they all had Eminem hoodies on calling me a greebo. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
