Oh How She Rocks in Keds and Tube Socks

My first review is going to be one of my choice, though I thank the people who gave me suggestions which will be most likely used in later posts. It is Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus. Wheatus was formed in '95, and is generally classified as any of Indie Rock, Alternative Rock, or Pop Punk. Teenage Dirtbag was featured in the movie Loser.

Lyrics-wise the song is just telling the story of a unpopular boy who really likes a popular girl. Her boyfriend is classified in the line 'Her boyfriend's a dick, he brings a gun to school.' Eventually the girl comes to him and asks him to an Iron Maiden concert. The lyrics are a story telling sort, and the chorus isn't overdone. They aren't really anything amazing but they aren't bad.

The actual singing of this band in general is rather high pitched for a guy and the quality of it is subjective the listener. Some like it and some don't. I am in the former. I think it has a unique and good sound. If you know Wheatus at all you will immediately recognize who it is who plays it. The end part where he sings as the girl is a bit strange, but it still isn't exactly bad.

The instrument part of it is very simple but effective. It isn't taken from anyone else and sounds unique to the song. It is also simple as with the lyrics, but that is something that defines the genre of Pop Punk. It is nothing special but it sounds good.

The overall song is good in my opinion, and even though everything by itself is nothing special, all together it combines to make a very good song. It just has a good flow to it.
