In the 90's, we called this "new school". Never ever thought I'd hear it called "old-school". Old-school punk rock is mid-late 70's, such as Ramones, Clash, Damned, Stiff Little Fingers, etc.

Sometimes females r even more perverted & they get away w/ way more sh. & Idc if rich, poor, gender, attractive or not, race,,, bc honestly i really wanted to smack the f outta them too but then don't? 🤔🤷🏻♀️ I guess bc ...they're females 😖🤦🏻♀️. - a female.
Im 39 and don’t recall seeing this video on MTV. But I didn’t watch much MTV after 96 or so. I do recall watching this music video on Real Player in super low quality with lots of “buffering” sounding like it was played on a toy transistor radio in a bathroom.
My first concert I ever went to was MxPx in Modesto, Ca back in the mid 90s and I have been a fan ever sense. They were my intro into punk music and I never looked back! Still one of my favorite bands to this day!
When I joined the MxPx fan club in the early 2000’s, we got a bunch of pins with Yuri’s face on them. My sister and I used to put them in places for other people to find who had never heard of MxPx. Their reaction was priceless. I loved how MxPx never took themselves too seriously.
I loved them at the time... Haha... Until the guitarist I forgot his name was trying to steal my girlfriend, asking her to come backstage CALLING MY HOUSE.... its been 20 years since that. So I have gotten over it now but it was not cool at the time. Yuri has been timed as one of the fastest drummers of all time on a side note. Since this song is abt him of course haha.
I remember seeing this on MTV circa 1998. The song, the humor, the subject matter--boffo. Purchased their albums ever since. Looking back 25 years, this kind "punk lite" was really great stuff, when they had good lyrics, good lyrical melodies, and powerful drums with simple power-chord guitars. IS THIS NOSTALGIA I FEEL??!
Dude, Yuri walking in thru the glass door and ruffling his hair with full Pantene shampoo commercial panache and what appears to be a slight slow-mo effect is fucking hilarious. I don't know how I forgot about this song having an awesome video...
This was so fun when it came out on Sat. night TV. Was their having fun video & was great to see Yuri cut loose & be the chick magnet. A never forget, one in a million songs. They weren't actors, they were punk rawkers but it didn't matter. They were the best.
Still love raging to this song, never gets old. Miss you Mike HMU I've been at Alki Beach three years now, we should kick it this summer. Chick Magnet Chick Magnet Yeah!

So annoyed with myself! Just saw these guys like 2 weeks ago, Met Mike and talked to him for a bit, took photos of him with strangers and basically acted as an unassigned photographer, and then I forgot to take one of me with him for myself. Good job, me. Good job.
Well he's a chick magnet, if ya know what I mean The way the girlies just go to him Well ya should've seen the guy yeah, he's got style and it's plain to see Smooth shoes and cool tattoos Hair pomped as tight as can be He ain't got a girlfriend No one to sing this song to He's gotta settle down If he meets that special girl soon He knows just what to do When it comes to the girls He writes them poetry And he picks them flowers He knows just what to say When it comes to the ladies Knows how to make a girl smile How to drive a girl crazy
The bald dude getting turned on at the end is hilariously perfect. Ha. Also like the dude getting kicked off the barstool at beginning. Excellent video and tune!
That skat bit has been in my head for about 2 decades now
Me too! It's how I've remembered the song this whole time.
Always

When I was a prison guard, just before I quit, I played this song on the bass while a prisoner played the guitar. Punk AF.
Thats badass

The first bassline I learned to play back in 1999. I found my old bass in my parents' garage and it brought back old memories.
SAME hahaha
It's fuckin wild how this song was so many peoples first punk rock bass line they learned. Same here yahahaha

Remember this on MTV after doing homework back in highschool. Great tune
We both must be in our late 30s

Still listening to this day
MXPX never get old🍻

Man, this type of music still hits me in the feels. Still jamming to this two decades later.

I just realized that he had chest hair drawn on with a brown marker. Awesome
Tattoo...
Lol
Hard to beat 90s videos

Late 90's? This song came out in 2004
@@l.s.2234 1995

MXPX was me and my wife's first dates in the 90's...still going strong 20+ years

It's just early pop punk. That's what it was referred to back then.
Did you say good lyrics?
How this has less than a million views is some kind of internet voodoo mystery.
grew up with this song, brings back good memories :D
I was an average joe, until I learned to do that magic trick with the french fries. Now the da ladies are all over me.
Po ta ta Po ta ta Po ta ta Po ta ta Doo Doo!
+Josh Money XD XD XD
the best scat ever!
Such a fun silly and good song back then and now. That bass lines rules.
I can just listen to the bass line over and over....sorta jazzy, and the scat singing is ridiculous

its funny cause when i saw these guys live yuri got soo many chicks it was insane. he really is a chick magnet.

Finally this video is up! Great memories!
This was absolutely one of my favorite MTV videos during the mid to late 90’s!
still listening in 2016 ..
still listening in 2021...
And I'm here listening to it on 2069
Still love raging to this song, never gets old. Miss you Mike HMU I've been at Alki Beach three years now, we should kick it this summer. Chick Magnet Chick Magnet Yeah!
awesome song
mxpx rocks
And oh yeah, you aren't a bass player until you learn how to play this walk.
Walk?
True ...
This bass line is easy. I’m only 9 an I could play this bass line with one hand tied behind my back
@@billycochran9762 okay sure little buddy
@@billycochran9762 please let’s see this
This is such an early 2000s song! I love it!
Life in General came out in 96
This is mid 90's.
1996. I was in college.
Some people have issue believing that the 2000's didn't invent pop punk, but it is when it got the most popular.
2024 and still listening to mxpx
This is even better than I remembered!!!!
First song I learned on bass, I was so young I can't even remember when
the most underrated a capela solo ever!
So I haven't heard this since the 90s and it just popped in my head in 2021
Just listened to this today in my beat up mom-van, on a mix cd I found from high school 😆 all my friends used to play the bass part of this
god bless. we all get old together huh
still listening 2015, good old days :)
One location video - classic. Love it all
2:06 'I'm smoking a fry!' is a killer.
Yuri is the man! Then and now. I hope Mike does some scat on the new album lol I forgot about that part in this song.
I used to work with a bloke when this some come out, his nickname was 'Magnet' ironically of course... we made this song his anthem. good times...
such a catchy bass line
Make pop punk great again yall!!!
I was a teenager growing up in Seattle in the 90s I saw pokinatcha punk stickers EVERYWHERE. Waited constantly to hear this song on The End.
Their drummer is just amazing :)
This was so fun when it came out on Sat. night TV. Was their having fun video & was great to see Yuri cut loose & be the chick magnet. A never forget, one in a million songs.
I seen this on MTV in the 1990s when I had cable TV in my own apartment.
Videos from the 90s. Gotta love it lol.
one of the first songs when i first got an ipod :D
And I leave a comment to bring you back and have fond memories of your sad neglected ipod
To me, that is the essence of punk. Fuck what other people think they know about it, just play what you feel. Play it loud, play it proud
Video Director: "You guys just sit in this booth and look at this plate of fries while he sings. We've got a music video!" Genius.
favorite mxpx song.
hell yeah that bass line sooo rad
Harold and Kumar - the 2 office workers driving round all night with girls in the car playing this hahahahaha :D
Nice song mxpx 👏
they really like french fries in this video lol
So annoyed with myself! Just saw these guys like 2 weeks ago, Met Mike and talked to him for a bit, took photos of him with strangers and basically acted as an unassigned photographer, and then I forgot to take one of me with him for myself. Good job, me. Good job.
Lololol!
I used to be in a band called "go feth" we cover mxpx all the way as we a also 3pc band. Gapo punks!!! Not dead!!!
Seeing this video on TBN brought me here......when I was 12
i love how yuri has chest hair drawn on with a marker 1:02 hahahahahha
Love this song
Great song!!
I'm loving it
Thanks for posting
Well he's a chick magnet, if ya know what I mean
The way the girlies just go to him
Well ya should've seen
the guy yeah, he's got style and it's plain to see
Smooth shoes and cool tattoos
Hair pomped as tight as can be
He ain't got a girlfriend
No one to sing this song to
He's gotta settle down
If he meets that special girl soon
He knows just what to do
When it comes to the girls
He writes them poetry
And he picks them flowers
He knows just what to say
When it comes to the ladies
Knows how to make a girl smile
How to drive a girl crazy
I just like the way he's a nerd the entire time..
Under rated band for sure
omg, i miss this!!
dobrze ze w tym zespole byl jeden polak gitarzysta ... tez chcialbym byc chick magnet ;]:) moze kiedys
The bald dude getting turned on at the end is hilariously perfect. Ha. Also like the dude getting kicked off the barstool at beginning. Excellent video and tune!
good old times!!!
They look like they had so much fun making this vid. XD
The song that kids could learn and make all their friends think they were way better at bass than reality.
Yasss.. the video is finally up🙌
YES.
NICE BASS LINE
I like life in general album.. Maybe this is best album mxpx
I remember listening to this album in my CD player on the bus on. My way to school. I copied this dudes style so hard then lol
"Do you know" ? the resemblance is uncanny!
still got my shirt from when these lads came to town
that dance at the end...that is the end all be all of human existence....my god I love it so....
watching this it's jarring how modern it really seems....even the girls in the vid, with the nose ring....it's like time flattened
You need to play at "MATT FEST" 2022 in Moville, Iowa this summer !
90s Napster days 🤘
