This song by Wheatus sounds so '90s but I love it so much. He basically just talks about how he likes this girl named Noel. But, and here's the catch, she doesn't know who he is and she doesn't "give a damn" about him. Oooh, an unknown love...I like it!
He then goes on a rant saying he's just a teenage dirtbag and he wants her to listen to Iron Maiden with him...maybe, though!
But now he decides to pick on her boyfriend. He apparently takes a gun to school and drives an IROC and would definitely kick the speaker's ass if he knew that he likes his girl. Oh yeah, and the "dick" boyfriend doesn't know who he is and he doesn't "give a damn" about him.
And then we have another rant about how he's a teenage dirtbag who still wants her to listen to Iron Maiden with him...maybe?
He all of a sudden goes from being depressed and having no faith in his love life to getting all inspired and saying, "Oh, yeah, dirtbag, no, she doesn't know what she's missin'," because apparently he thinks he's hot stuff now.
Now here is where the twist comes in!! He's feeling like mold and is sitting at prom all alone when, drum roll, she starts walking over to him! He sits there with shaking lips and thinks, "How does she know who I am? And why does she give a damn about me?"
Remember how he wanted her to listen to Iron Maiden with him? Well you better because he only said it like fifty times. Anyway, she says to him, "I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby. Come with me Friday, don't say 'maybe.' I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby, like you."
Look at that. He got the girl AND a teenage dirtbag - just like him!
Now for what I take from this song. I take that being pessimistic and depressed will get you what you want. He put himself down and supposedly "knew" she didn't give a damn about him when apparently she did - she bought him Iron Maiden tickets. What girl would buy Iron Maiden tickets for the two of them when she has never spoken to him?!?! What if he didn't like Iron Maiden? But to be fair she obviously DID know who he was and DID give a damn about him. Was a good night for the young fellow. Go get 'em, tiger!
