the riff came when Mark was trying to play the bass line from Green Day's JAR on guitar

[Dollapfin]

The song just sounds like the time period I’m glad

The first album I bought of Blink was called Chestshire cat awesome album

[fattmusiek]

Singularly got me into music. Album flipped a switch in my brain to “I really love music…”
Thank you Mark ❤

That's like when Coldplay wrote Yellow. He was trying to do a funny Neil Young impression and it ended up just being good.

According to him, every song started as a joke. What songs did they actually put some effort on ?

[duker]

Mark admitting he casually made one of their greatest hits, accidentally 😂💯

[Naga]

That can be the story from a lot of blink songs hehe

[bryangriffin]

[RumoursOfFamine]

Here I am thinking this has been a joke song for over 20 years now. Boy was I wrong. Hahaha

[laurahemphill]

I remember when that song was released as I was 24. Damn. I feel like a dinosaur

[patricia]

[olopez]

blink siempre fue una joke band pero maduro como vino en vasija de barro...tal vez la banda mas potente y fresca de la actualidad

Im not a rock guy (i like many genres to be honest) but those guys I "discovered" thanks to mtv brasil. I was 12-13. Still linsten, and im not a rock man lol. In fact i listened on our tv a few hours ago. . I was kinda drunk.

Really like this band.

I was just wondering exactly this while out running today and looking like a fool with a giant smile laughing about the video to this song in my head.

Mark could pass for Elon’s younger brother

[Zachar]

Tom and Travis said it's too good for a joke song so we recorded a joke album with a suicidial ballad :D

[nannerz]

They could financially live off the success of that song alone
