The Girl Next Door

from Buddha by Blink 182

  • LIMITED EDT COLOR 12" Vinyl LP (Yellow or Green) 100 of 500 MADE
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    LIMITED EDITION COLOR 12"
    Vinyl LP (Yellow or Green)

    Kung Fu records is proud to be home of Blink 182's very first album "Buddha". This is the record that Mark and Tom used to sell on cassette (themselves!) at their merchandise booth at their earliest shows in San Diego, California.

    The Vandals met Blink 182 at a show they both played with Unwritten Law many years ago. Mark, Tom, and then drummer Scotty, were impossible not to get along with and so The Vandals started putting Blink on a lot of Vandals shows to help Blink break out beyond the San Diego punk scene. Other bands like Pennywise and NOFX were also doing this because everyone liked these guys. Blink later rewarded The Vandals' label with Buddha which, as you can imagine, is Kung Fu records' biggest seller.

    Buddha's rough and punk yet cute - and sometimes really funny - material, provides an early window into what we now know as a world wide phenomena.

    .... Blink-182's first album, Buddha, may be a little generic, but it's nevertheless a solid skatepunk record that illustrates the group's flair for speedy, catchy hooks and irreverent humor. There are a few weak cuts, but on the whole, it's a promising debut.

lyrics

White girl living in the big city
In a big apartment house
She's living with her boyfriend now

She drives off every day for school and work
She washes dishes now
And watches tv on the pull out couch

And every day's the same

White girl moved back to the suburbs
And she finally found a man
Who knows how to take care of her

She bought the perfect little house
And the lawn's well manicured
And she'd never missed a day of work

And every day's the same

White girl couldn't go on knowing
She was just here wasting her time
She drowned in the lake last night

They found her bloated body floating
But she still walks around
Performing all her daily chores

She still don't know what life's about

Cause every day's the same
And she's got no one to love

credits

from Buddha, released February 6, 2014
Written By Ben Weasel, original performed by Screaching Weasel on the 1995 album "Kill The Musicians."
