"1985" by Bowls of Soup (or whatever they're called)

[U2democrat]

Has anyone else heard this song? They mention U2 in the chorus. I'm not a big fan of the actual song but the video cracks me up. They'll probably be a one hit wonder.

agreed 1 hit wonder but it is a cute novelty song

 

[Numb1075]

any song mentioning U2 is cool by me. great video

 

[bonosloveslave]

I saw the video, kinda funny

 

[IWasBored]

bowling for soup? or someone completly different with a similar name?

 

[Zoorock Girl!]

Awful.

I feared the same....

 

[Angela Harlem]

It's the same one.

I blame The Darkness for this retro-revival recurrance.

 

[IWasBored]

retro-revival? aren't they a really bad pop-punk band in the vein of simple plan, the ataris, or sum 41?

 

[U2Kitten]

I've never heard of it but the REAL 1985 rocked!

Maybe. They seem like a really poor rehash of older stuff, which can probably be applied to some pop punk as well.

they had this song called 'the bitch song' or something...the line from the chorus was 'you're a bitch but i love you anyway/ you make me sick, but don't ever go away'. sang by a whiney dude, of course.

the opening song on the new manics album is called '1985'

Sounds grand. Doesn't matter what style they are really, it's shitty whatever it is. lol

They already had a hit. I know this because they played at a stupid radio station festival maybe like 2 or 3 years ago, and they had a popular single that was played all the time...can't remember what it is though.

the bitch song?


actually, they had a "hit" last year as well, since they were on the warped tour and all of a sudden all sorts of little pop punk kids were raving about them

I like the song but the first time I heard it I thought it was Weezer.

 

[U2democrat]

yeah i don't really like the song, but its an amusing video and they mention U2....

When I first saw them parodying all those different bands and artists in the video I was wondering if I was going to see a portrayl of U2 in 1985, including Bono and his Live Aid mullet. It was a funny video. Loved the parodies of George Michael's "Faith" and Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" videos - even if they were 1987 videos, not 1985 videos.
