The 80s and 90s were such a fun time to be a teenager/young adult. For the most part, everyone got along great. You notice in this video ALL the girls are really pretty (they were back then!!). No one is trying to fight this nerdy kid. There are no weapons, drugs, alcohol or cussing. Proof that you can have a good time and still maintain a certain level of integrity.

The Offspring are my "guilty pleasure" band. Even though there is nothing guilty about their music. Rock on, Offspring.

Every couple of months I get that damn "Give it to me, Baby! Ah Huh Ah Huh!" hook stuck in my head, and I never knew where it came from. I don't even listen to The Offspring. That's funny as hell.
