1983. That was a long time ago. Such a long time ago. Third grade, for me. But these cats aren't as older than me than they used to be. By 1987, I was into them. I found out about The Fall in 1989. I always felt like I was an outlier, I didn't have good taste. Boy was I wrong. The Cure, Depeschkljljas Mode, Nitzer Ebb, all these are good, but the first was the best, and the most: you take one, one, one for your family....

I would say actually that this song and many others on the album are masterpieces. These guys figured out how to bottle up all the guy angst and concerns of teenage guys and play it with passion and immediacy in a bizarre folk/hybrid fusion that never before existed (and never has since) but sounded inevitable none the less.

I would LOVE to see these guys just ONE TIME

I was watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch from like 1996 or 1997 on Hulu, and they go to a Violent Femmes concert in one of the episodes. I looked them up to see if they were an actual band, and I kinda like their music. I’m usually into extreme metal, but they’re not too bad.

Years ago, around 1992, I remember seeing Melissa Joan Hart on Arsenio Hall or Dennis Miller or one of those shows, and she mentioned that the Femmes were one of her favorite bands. Which I thought was pretty cool.

The violent femmes is the epitaph of High School ! Great times. Even better band\sound!!!!!

This little funky tune makes me so happy, why? I don't know.

My familiarity with the Violent Femmes dates back to schooldays. Great to know there are always sprightly tunes of this ilk in their back catalogue which I feel are eternally reliable listens

When days were easy, and the world was a nicer place.

So great. Classic 80’s gem. Looooove!!! And I love this silly video! So cute

This is a timeless classic 🎉🇧🇷

Just watched a music analysis of this song and was reminded how much I love it

i was in middle school when this song came out totally love the band and all there music

Wow!! This is Awesome!! ❤️💃🪩🕺😍

Whole thing is good. I was there then. It was a next level in music to know and be able to sing every song without music.

It's an incredible song and album. Thanks for posting.

I play this every time I feel vulnerable, like today and yesterday and probably tomorrow. You know what they say about big hands. Big gloves.

Ahhh the good ol' dayzzzz!! GREAT MEMORIES & STILL GREAT FRIENDS JULES! Has it really been 40 years? Think maybe I'm missing few..LOL

This probably my favorite song reminds me of highschool when I met my best friend she was self conscious about her feet so I changed the lyrics to big feet instead of big hands to make her feel better

Wisconsin representing again! Love my state and I’ll always put this on.

My favorite power trio of all time. Make no mistake, this was THE psychedelic, folk rock band of the 80's. Their live concert from the boathouse in VA or whatver it was named is kickass. I was a skater when inwas introduced to them by other skaters. I was simultaneously introduced to The Dead Milkmen and i still dig their stuff too.

I love these guys.

Brian Ritche is one of the most seriously underrated bass players in rock history. He's practically the lead in a lot of their songs, the dude knows how to write a great beat.
