yeah
these Punk’s can be playful but they can
also pack an almighty punch welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten songs by
The Offspring
for this list we’ve chosen our entries
based on a combination of the artists
fan favorites and their most
commercially successful songs
number ten pretty fly for a white guy
and all the girlies say I’m pretty fly
for a white guy
to open we’re hoping that we’re cool hip
rad and all the rest but we’re just not
single single says pretty fly tells the
story of a wannabe socialite and his
efforts to live the high life he may not
have a clue and he may not have style
but everything but he makes up in denial
he wants a pimped out ride he wants
girls and glitzy bikinis he wants
antagonistic tattoos he gets none of the
above now he’s getting a tattoo yeah
he’s getting inked done he asks for
other teams but they drew a 31 there’s
no hope for him or for us the
angst-ridden listener but there is a
killer chorus killer guitars and a
classic introductory countdown dos tres
cuatro Cinco Cinco seis
give it to us baby because we cannot get
enough and the fact that the punky
comedy tune with the band’s highest
chart err on the Billboard Hot 100
peaking within the top 60 proves it
hi
bang
number nine wants you bad
I want you bad if Barry White or Michael
Buble sang those lyrics you know they’d
be talking about everlasting love
in the offspring sing those lyrics we
know they’re talking about sexual
deviants it’s not sweet nothings that
the band is after here it’s more dirty
everything
as punchy playful and party starter
Balazs all decent punk music should be
this song is as good as it’s subject is
not
an offspring anthem its tattoos vinyl
suits and rock and roll
you
number eight you’re gonna go far kid
easy to change the message gets mature
with our next song as the band picks
apart the socialist IRA with a little
less silliness and a little more
sincerity
you can
the kid in question is anyone who craves
success achieves it and then misuses it
set against the dystopic grimly
glamorous video accompaniment the song
is power and greed
a truth of everyday life that has
clearly worked the offspring dexter
Holland’s cautionary voice resonates
right inside our heads
his anger hits us right between the eyes
yeah yeah yeah yeah
number seven all I want
the powers that be
in many ways modern punks not the same
as classic Punk but the best bands can
roll back the years with apparent ease
all I want is quick course and
quintessential anti-authority
at just under two minutes it’s one of
the shorter songs to make our list and
one of the show Deus
all they want all we want Oh anybody who
listens to the offspring wants is a life
worth living
rules regulations and routine no thanks
we’re quite content jumping around our
rooms with this in our ears
ah beginning my
and will tell you the same number six
bad habit but only in my car to give me
new crap Christmas ladies thing and I
just might step
who knew that road rage would make such
a good record
a racy raucous riot of a track bad habit
is drive music with added danger and
extra adrenaline
sometimes Punk’s about politics but
other times it’s the plain and simple
things that really ruin our days
bad drivers are a nightmare everyone
knows that but the offspring voices
their frustration unlike the average
it’s insane guitars its souped up vocals
it’s a crowded highway and a whole lotta
hate
click while you drive and watch the
roads clear before you
number five got a getaway
at our midway point it’s early offspring
and a grungy growling self-examination
life can lead to pressure and pressure
can lead to paranoia the band knows this
and they know how to put it to music
a simple sounding cyclical song got a
getaway didn’t achieve the same levels
of commercial success that other tracks
from the smash album did but it still
stands as an anthemic offering from the
bed
mental health makes good music and good
music helps mental health
number four gone away
just missing our podium but achieving
mainstream success anyway
gone away soared to number one on the
hot mainstream Rock Tracks chart when it
was released in 1997
a track that deals with tragedy there’s
been speculation that the somber tune
was composed following the death of
Holland’s girlfriend
stay tuned
before the frontman death is like going
very far away but the distance is
inconceivable it’s unfair and it’s
something to which we can all relate
the offspring is known for their
playfulness but they hit hard and hit
well with this river
number three come out and play
you gotta keep them separated
the first single to be released off
smash come out and play has been
surrounded by controversy throughout its
history
lyrically the focus is Frank and a
little bit frightening from the
schoolyard to the streets gang culture
exists and people die because of it
musically the Arabic riff is catchy but
it caused problems as well as the band
faced accusations of plagiarism over its
usage
the claims came to nothing though and a
killer breakthrough record remains come
out and play don’t mind if we do
number two the kids aren’t all right
nostalgia a fickle friend one second she
has you happily remembering the next she
has you staring at an uncomfortable
truth
we’re the offsprings the kids were
alright once but then they grew up and
reality struck while the rest of
Americana pokes fun at life in the US
this song gives us something to chew and
choke over
you
the dizzying video the eclectic
characters the shattered dreams life
might not be as fun as we think it
should be but this records reason to
sing until your lungs hurt
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
you gotta keep
my dad
place go right
Oh
number one self-esteem
as commercially successful as the
offspring has ever been self-esteem top
charts in Europe and helped establish
the band as a very big thing
okay
the smash single is a self explanatory
look at an addictively destructive
relationship set against some seriously
prickly Punk south
the guy is the sucker with too little of
the title commodity the girl is the
player with too many male friends the
vocals are appropriately submissive the
post-chorus guitars are appropriately
angry
a gold medal should stop them feeling so
low all hail the offspring
bleep
the sucker
