2005 (Bowling For Soup '1985' PARODY)

(JJJReact)

Hey everyone! I posted the thumbnail for this a few days ago, and now the video is finally here! Now, I know what some of you are thinking...

"Hey! Hasn't this been done before? Not by you, but by @christianoneal380 ?" And the answer is yes, but I SWEAR on my LIFE that I had only discovered his video after writing mine and doing a check to see if it had, indeed, already been done. The experiences of halcyon days of 2005 are so universal, some of our references are the same, just in different uses and places. But if you wanna see another really good parody of this song about the same year, go check his video out! He even made one for 2015! How nifty!

LYRICS:

Kelly just left the mall
Didn't buy a thing at all
Everything in Hot Topic? She hadn't heard of it
She started slowing down after the cap and gown
Got a car and bought a home, but she still feels alone
She was gonna be an actress, now she's on OnlyFans
And getting thirsty texts, all from her best friend's man
Avoided STDs, but not a pregnancy
Looks at her average life, and nothin'
Has been
Alright!

She misses Green Day, old Kanye
Before Ariana Grande, there was
GC, MCR, Fall Out Boy and Paramore
These kids that, she's raisin'
Will never know the greatness
Of that unfiltered time
Two-thousand
Two-thousand
It's 2005 (It's 2005)

She's seen all the movies
Stole songs from Limewire
She'd rock to Panic!
Watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
She loves Evanescence, not so much Post Malone
She'd trade her Galaxy, for her Motorolla phone
Where's the crazy hair you'd see on scene kids
Way back before you could take any game and stream it
And when did MSN become Discord?
Whatever happened to...xD, rofl...I guess we all got bored

Of Green Day, old Kanye
Before Ariana Grande, there was
GC, MCR, Fall Out Boy and Paramore
These kids that, she's raisin'
Will never know the greatness
Of that unfiltered time
Two-thousand
Two-thousand
It's 2005

She hates time
Make it stop
When did everybody
Go and make a TikTok?
And when did Spotify takeover iTunes?
Please make this stop, stop...STOP!

And bring back Green Day, old Kanye
Before Ariana Grande, there was
GC, MCR, Fall Out Boy and Paramore
These kids that, she's raisin'
Will never know the greatness
Of that unfiltered time
It's 2005
She misses Green Day, old Kanye
Before Ariana Grande, there was
GC, MCR, Fall Out Boy and Paramore
These kids that, she's raisin'
Will never know the greatness
Of that unfiltered time
Two-thousand
Two-thousand
It's 2005

I have no idea how I came upon this… but the line “Green Day, old kayne, before Ariana grande” is great.

[erinwalker]

It’s insane that we’re as far away from 2005, as when the original “1985” was as far away from the afformentioned year!

[justin-uxpk]

Born in 1999. Can’t tell you how much I would have loved to live through the 90s instead of being born in the last year of it. We’ve passed our prime as a planet

[christianoneal]

Dude haha this is GREAT much love thank you so much for the shout out 🖤🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶

[Lobster_Dance]

Seeing bunches of these parodies pop up and this one has some of the best lyrics and flow. Thanks for having a closer flow and more references I found relevant

[zombiegirl]

Lmao all of this is true, all of it. I’m fucking living in 2005. I’m the uncool mom, fuck it, I don’t care I miss 2005 😢

[dirtydwagz]

I was hoping 20 years after 85 there would be something like this 🤣🤣

[MrFisher]

My only complaint about this song is how unrealistic it is that the character in the song actually owns a home...

[callofduty]

This makes me miss 2005 even though I was in grade 5 and hated school haha. I miss it.

[mrshaggie]

My name is Kelley, I wanted to be an actress and I had kids at 21 😆 I don’t have an only fans…maybe I should 😂 I can’t believe there’s no mention of MySpace in any of these

[TheQueenofFandoms._.]

SUGAr We’re going down music video at 0:08 UR WELCOME

[Ishtah]

Is this our generation's Summer of 69?

[genericcartoonreactionchan]

if I ever have kids, I will make sure they know all of this, they will start in order with Felix the cat and Out of the inkwell, and won't get a Landline till we reach the 90's

[ericmonaco]

Hell yeah good times when i was 7 years old

[OuttaControlNationKells]

My mom used to listen to the original and I’d see her vibe so hard and now there’s a version for my childhood, amazing.

[genericcartoonreactionchan]

Haha I feel old… this was 20 years ago… sigh

[tenochcamacho]

This made me feel like when my mom was still pregnant
