CLASSIC

words cannot express the way i feel when i listen to this song. Its almost as if i could walk and talk and the neckbrace doesn't even matter anymore. I'm having fun and NOTHING can stop me. Because up in heaven we can all skate. Skating is a metaphor.

I like the plea for religious understanding that takes place with the bongpacking.

Haha. When I worked in this awful bakery in Sydney this girl I worked had ONE mix cd that she would play every afternoon--this song was right in the middle, somewhere between Apollo 440's "Stop The Rock" and Sublime's "Date Rape". I don't think I could deal with hearing this ever again.

Wow, haven't though about this song in years.

Who's it by, again?

(semi-classic)

I don't remember who perfomed it, but I'm pretty sure it first appeared on the Malcolm in the Middle OST.

OPM

They had a follow-up single about rum.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Nobody makes songs like this anymore.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm sure Smashmouth are due another return any point soon.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:29 (nineteen years ago) link

They're not real slackers though.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:30 (nineteen years ago) link

OH JESUS ON THIS SIDE OF THE SITE TOO

GOD FUCK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THIS SONG

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:47 (nineteen years ago) link

bold words.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Remember when they're playing their guitars while floating in the air in the video?

*shrieks*

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 02:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I really really wanna hear this again now.

Having said this, that mixtape sounds like the worst thing ever. Did it also have "Because I got high" and "Block rockin beats" on it?

― Jacob (Jacob), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 03:40 (nineteen years ago) link

horrible horrible horrible fucking "song"

TS: 'Ante Up' vs 'Heaven is a Halfpipe'

― Miles Finch, Wednesday, 12 January 2005 09:42 (nineteen years ago) link

FUCK RIGHT OFF. Now 'Heaven is a halfpipe' may have some kitsch charm, but 'Ante Up' is STONE COLD NO F'N QUESTION ABOUT IT K-CLASSIC. I mean, c'mon. It's insulting to even compare 'em...

― Jacob (Jacob), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 09:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I know. I was making a clever point about the artist names.

― Miles Finch, Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Hahaha. This is why I hate crosswords.

― Jacob (Jacob), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:05 (nineteen years ago) link

STEAL MY SUNSHINE, people.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:08 (nineteen years ago) link

oh is that what you call it?

― Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:38 (nineteen years ago) link

this was kind of a sarcastic thread.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:45 (nineteen years ago) link

oh well what a great idea THAT was

― Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:55 (nineteen years ago) link

that was your first mistake.

Although I'll be the first to admit that this song is nothing compared to "Steal Me Sunshine," but that's not exactly a fair comparison.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:55 (nineteen years ago) link

is 'Steal Me Sunshine' the loveable cockney version?

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:57 (nineteen years ago) link

god that's a fucking disgusting concept.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:59 (nineteen years ago) link

heaven is a half-pipe is a classic. i made a mix-cd for tom's party once and included it just cos i knew he'd hate the song. Len are great too.

― mogiaw, Wednesday, 12 January 2005 21:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I love "Steal My Sunshine." It's very Cornershop!

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 21:47 (nineteen years ago) link

three years pass...

I think this is a pretty song as far as failed would-be late alt-rock anthems go. It's great when the second chorus comes in with the loud drums and everything, and the bridge is pretty much unassailable:

Like Christian Hosoi way back in '87
we'll be bustin' Christ Airs until we get to heaven
Think I really care that I missed biology
Got my education in Stalefishology
With all your rules, you gots to chill
I'm gonna twist out like Mike McGill

I don't think this song recieved airplay on the east coast. Not in my area anyway... therefore I consider this song way west coast.

― billstevejim, Friday, 18 July 2008 03:41 (fifteen years ago) link

I was living in Georgia but I think I only ever saw it on MTV2.

― Doctor Casino, Friday, 18 July 2008 03:46 (fifteen years ago) link

xp: It was played every hour on the hour in DC/Maryland.

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Friday, 18 July 2008 03:55 (fifteen years ago) link

this shit still sound good they need to play this on the radio word

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 18 July 2008 03:56 (fifteen years ago) link

I enjoyed that post so much Hoos

― J0hn D., Friday, 18 July 2008 03:58 (fifteen years ago) link

I have never heard this song and still don't know who it's by

I saw this single in a charity shop a couple of days ago and was like "did I like this? I can't remember". I didn't buy it. Still can't remember if I liked it or not.

― Colonel Poo, Friday, 18 July 2008 16:27 (fifteen years ago) link

You did.
