Dude Ranch

Told By Mark Hoppus

Apple Shampoo
this song is about a girl I had a crush on, and she used apple shampoo, and her hair always smelled like it.

Dick Lips
this song was written by tom, and he had no title for it. The day that we recorded it, our producer asked what the title for the song was, and tom had none. On that particular day, I was stoked on the phrase "dick lips," and was calling everyone that name through the whole session. When Trombino asked tom for the title, I suggested dick lips as the name, and tom was stoked on it. We originally were going to come up with a better title when the record actually came out, but we ended up liking the name, and it stuck.

Emo
emo is actually a style of music, and we thought this song kind of sounded like an emo song when we worte it. During rehearsals, we would say, "hey, let's play that emo sounding song again." The title stuck.

Lemmings
lemmings are animals which follow one another and run off of cliffs into the sea to their deaths. The song is about an old friend of mine who expected everyone to follow what he said was correct. Most of the time, what he thought was correct was really idiotic. He expected us to be lemmings...

A New Hope
this is the actual title of star wars. Watch the beginning credits when the words scroll up the screen.

Waggy
I made this word up while belching, and wanted to title a song with it. This was the song that got stuck with that title.

Misc. Songs

Told by Jim Schwartz

Family Next Door, Transvestite, and Family Reunion, Mark's Boyfriend, The Country Song
OK, these are pretty much just joke songs...

I Won't Be Home For Christmas
Yet another joke song, but this is about Christmas. It explains about hating Christmas and the stupid carrolers. Its ends up that he is sent to jail for beating them up with "a baseball bat."

Dancing With Myself
Well, they didn't write this song, I think it was Billy Idol. It's when you can't find somebody to dance with-so you do it with yourself.

Wrecked Him
This is about someone who says a lot, but is never heard. He can also never decide.

Zulu
This is about someone who has done what they wanted to do, but always hid their emotions. He always ended up bad, and made wrong decisions. He also likes to jack-off.

Good Times
The title is a good enough description of the song.

Man OverBoard
Losing a friend, abandonement..., what else can I say?

Blow Job
A funny little thing they play at concerts tryin' to get some clothes of of people...sexist assholes!!

Dead Man's Curve
I guess it's something about faering nothing...
