Fat Mike once said, "a good song is a good song, no matter the style you play it in." This proves what a fantastic composer he is, and has been since the 90s.

Holy shit. How did that just make me cry?!

I was at NOFX Final Tour (Barcelona) ❤‍🔥 Listening this song brings me a lot of memories, thanks Fat Mike and Fat Family! For everything...🖖

100% pure "uncut" talent, Fat Mike is the only human being who's music has consistently evolved into something I can't even put into words anymore.

Goosebumps and tears as soon as the violin starts.

[tylerdurden]

This brought tears to my eyes hearing this, no BS. Beautiful

[leoncorbett]

Fat Mike’s definitely one of the most versatile punk musicians

[alexesteruelasgarcia]

Pump Up the Valuum is the best Nofx record. Forever my favorite

[jamescovarrubias]

One of my favorite musicians ever! Fat mike is a genius in my opinion!

[kmandell]

I love that Mike is down to experiment and it’s funny to sing along in my head while listening to this played in a beautiful classical style. Do you think the musicians listened to the original song or Baz and Mike just gave them music to play?
As that violinist is playing a beautiful harmony “why won’t anybody fuck me..” haha.

But this is super cool and I’ll def buy this album. I hear him mention on Chris DeMakes a Podcast that he’s working on a book that discusses a bunch of different songs. Meanings, how we wrote it, cool facts, etc - I am sooo pumped for that. But in the interim, classical NOFX is very cool. I dig it. Keep doing cool shit Mike!

Total Bummer is one of NOFX's most underappreciated songs. Along with We Threw Gasoline, She's Gone, Drop the World and Desperations Gone.

When NOFX meets classic...
Next stop: Scala of milan! 😉
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

[TheJaysonGreenfield]

God I’m going to miss NOFX but it’s awesome to see Mike being so excited about doing something new - thanks for all the songs and memories

[tomfrombrick]

Beautiful. Total bummer is a great song

[fando]

Would be sick if they release a record of these sessions

[leftinmymisery]

One of my fav NoFX songs from my fav NoFX album. What a pity I've never heard this song live by them, but it's still kicking ass even with this arrangement.

[dosesandmimoses]

I love the effort of reinventing and re-conceiving to learn and “play!” It’s an artist using a new technique and medium.. courage and creativity personified!

Eu só queria uma apresentação no Brasil pós pandemia. Contudo agradeço por terem sido a trilha sonora que ouvi nas últimas 3 décadas. Vcs são grandes.

My fat mike up close experience was at rockfest in montebello quebec circa 2005/6/ or 7. Date is off but ill never forget fat mike walking in the street with a dolled up rock chick calling out loud for “cocaine, here cocaine” like it was the name of his lost dog. 😂

Fat Mike is giving off Willy Wonka vibes
