@@marcgutierrez2436 I do to a point: I was in a similar situation (my job got automated, had issues in my relationship but never broke up).

My ex-husband who was still my friend and the father to our three boys loved this song so much. He would listen to it on repeat when it first came out. My sister made a promise to him that if she out lived him it would play at his funeral. We'll just about three weeks she lived up to her promise. Sadly he passed away at 47 and left us all heartbroken. He was my asshole for 26 years and I miss him so much.
I played Ozzy Osbourn music at my husbands funeral, He would have loved this song being played too. He was an Ass his whole life, but he was mine for 20 years…I miss him very much. My Condolences hun.
100% correct. It was big in Aust. Heard it regularly on triple m Sydney driving the Parramatta to Liverpool Woodville road commute way back then in my 1975 Cortina. Your comment sparked some great memories. Cheers.
As an American... I have always loved this song. Big brown baby seal eyes for headlights. Non-biodegradable McDonald's cheeseburger containers. Driving our gas guzzlers. That's when just times were great. Every single line of this song is beyond honest nowadays. We need more of this. Our country and maybe world has turned into the movie" Idiocracy". We need MUCH MORE OF THIS.
34 years old now. Loved this song when I was about 16. Sitting here and it came up on my phone. Played it with my 5 year old son. My wife did not think that was nearly as funny as I did. Oh well.
Now Grandpa Joe, are you telling fibbers again? We all know the unfortunate story of how he inherited the chocolate factory, so Wonka could flee all the lawsuits and charges for child endangerment, while Charlie shacked up with a rather handsome young Oompa Loompa girl, and left you and the rest of the family out in the cold to live in the back alley behind the factory, and chase rats and roaches down for food all day, while you constantly fight over it all in the courts. It’s all really so sad.
Stefan M. Lmao. You must be either really young or just straight up living in a trailer park with people that lived a hard life. He definitely does not look like he is in his 40s now at 62 years old.

I love Denise Leary in Demolition man, he's the perfect pissed off rebel leader. He probably would have done a good job as Michael Wincott's villain character in The Crow.
I disagree ...I feel like this specifically tries to paint people who are patriotic as assholes. I would have been there right with you longer ago as was the narrative for so long. After the 2 years we have been through and all that has been revealed one would have to be blind and in denial to not see the bait and switch that has taken place. You were entrained for how long to think patiotism and freedom was a villainous asshole thing to do. Well thank God for them now ... That is if you have not completely villinized the idea of God ... As well. And I'm not talking about man in the sky kind of god here .... That is also part of the rhetoric... I could go on ... No this message only serves as a piece of the evidence that this attempt to separate people into boxed oppositions has been in play a very long time ... And your comment ... Is evidence that in some people it has been fully integrated.... It blows me away that I can see how I fell into it as well ... All the lies The very people whom claimed to be opposed to the establishment are now bowing to it ... Ask your self ... How the hell did that happen ?

Still have to come back and hear it every now and then. Someone the other day finally seen 'Demolition Man' and loved the Dennis Leary rant, told her she should go see this song.
@@zerabbiitt idk if its true so feel free to look into it, but apparently Louis CK said he came up with most of this song/idea, and dennis "stole" it, which if it actually is true, well it fits with the narrative of the songs kind of ironically doesn't it?
fun fact: in 1993 this song topped australian radio station triple js "hottest 100" songs of the year - voted by listeners. I can recall a triple j phone interview with denis after the count to congratulate him on the win. He was very appreciative yet perplexed how it got to number 1. ... I've still got the cd - brilliant year of songs :)
@@zakofrx I don't know of JJJ (being a US native), but given people say that about a lot of things that have openly shown left-leaning roots they always had (and oddly so, assuming anyone even cares), Denis Leary very clearly made this back then to parody and make fun of middle class right-leaning and adjacent folk. So if anything, they'd congratulate him even more nowadays
@@MasterOfKnowledge. Leary is from Massachusetts. This song is basically every middle/working class Blue Dog Democrat in New England I grew up with. I don’t know his intentions, but being of his ilk I definitely don’t see this as specifically satirizing conservatism. It’s about class to me.
@@McSwift Eh, could be. It just comes off as one of those songs that takes a dig at a lot of the crass, white-collar, more typically right-leaning crowd of folk just based on general stereotypes, ignoring any state- or region-based ones. Hell, could be digging at both crowds and a be a class thing. I suppose that does give one more thing for people to think about, though

I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole) Sometimes, I park in handicapped spaces While handicapped people make handicapped faces I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's a real fucking asshole) Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song Ranting and raving and carrying on Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...

I bet your neighbors agree with your conclusion
The "how about this heat" line gets me every time
lmao, i stopped saying it after hearing that
i started since
The duality of man.
I still have this on cassette tape. I can't bring myself to get rid of it....
Song never gets old .. as funny now as when it first came out .. a true classic 😂😂😂😂
Been singing this song to my wife for 20 years and she thought I made it up all this time .she loved to hear it for real today
Haha my husband sings it to me too. 😂
That must have been an eye opener for her
Ravy?
He'll ya ha
I remember when MTV used to play this weird thing called music videos , oh well the good ol days .
What actually happened to MTV?
@@StarPlatinumV they made more money with the 1st few of The Real world then with music videos
when MTV was actually culturally significant
Them: how old are you?
Me: I'm "I used to watch music videos on MTV years old"
@@jackieacheson4928 I’m gonna be 45 next June
The 90's fucking ruled.
Creative, honest, and the truth. I relate to it
I blast this song while driving, during cookouts or gatherings, and it's like a call to my people. The song of our heart. All the way to our cockles.
while others of us play it to keep the riff raff away.
Maybe even our sub cockles
CZcams waited till January 1st 2020 to show me this gem
You have been so mistreated by life...
Hahaha gutted!
That's a shame
haha, I heard this song on the radio last week for the first time, and I thought is that Trump singing.
"WE GOT THE BOMB, That's Why, Two words, Nuclear F@#$%^ WEAPON"
Agreed
This song is my spirit animal
I love Denise Leary in Demolition man, he's the perfect pissed off rebel leader. He probably would have done a good job as Michael Wincott's villain character in The Crow.
I turn 40 this year, and I wholeheartedly embrace this anthem! 😂🇬🇧
38! lol
60 years an asshole still proud of it.
U were 10 when this came out lol
Hell yeah l know what you mean
“while handicapped people make handicapped faces”
best lyric ever written.
Shame it's stolen
@@jamesbaker9106 what are you on about? Stop the cap
@@yourguyry It was a Louis CK joke that he stole
I'm an asshole!
Scream this out every time
I miss the nineties so much.
If your listening to this song half way thru 2024, than hit like because you are a straight up fan and this is the good stuff! 💯🙌🔥🍻
One of the greatest songs ever written.
I’m overwhelmed by the irony of that statement
Since 1993
Ah Dennis. We need ya, man. Today more than ever.
We still have Louis CK, who actually came up with this song. Really, we could use Bill Hicks.
@@rosk169 cope lmao
@@rosk169 smd
He's not dead you know.
@@Tetragrammaton22 Nah, he's frozen!
Timeless!! TRUTH, never really dies!!
❤❤ I love Mr Dennis Leary
The way he walks up the steps 😂😂😂😂
He looks like pennywise
HIS balls itch
He stole that walk from "Stork" in "Animal House"
Life truly imitates art. This aged remarkably well!
Werd
I disagree ...I feel like this specifically tries to paint people who are patriotic as assholes. I would have been there right with you longer ago as was the narrative for so long. After the 2 years we have been through and all that has been revealed one would have to be blind and in denial to not see the bait and switch that has taken place.
You were entrained for how long to think patiotism and freedom was a villainous asshole thing to do. Well thank God for them now ... That is if you have not completely villinized the idea of God ... As well. And I'm not talking about man in the sky kind of god here .... That is also part of the rhetoric...
I could go on ...
No this message only serves as a piece of the evidence that this attempt to separate people into boxed oppositions has been in play a very long time ... And your comment ... Is evidence that in some people it has been fully integrated....
It blows me away that I can see how I fell into it as well ... All the lies
The very people whom claimed to be opposed to the establishment are now bowing to it ...
Ask your self ... How the hell did that happen ?
Lies again? Ali Express
@@AgapeLove878 Decades of Marxist ideology filtered through our failing educational system, where losers are given participation awards and a cry closet lined in gender neutral decorations.
@@PhaQ2 yeah none of that actually exists, it's some weird fantasy you have in your mind
I learned to drive a school bus to this song back in 2014. Stuck with me ever since and likely will forever. Good times
Still have to come back and hear it every now and then.
Someone the other day finally seen 'Demolition Man' and loved the Dennis Leary rant, told her she should go see this song.
Its 2019 and I'm still an ASSHOLE.
Welcome to the club. L.O.L.
Same
I am an asshole too. Bro :3
@Deon J BRERETON Thanks. Want to join my Collection on Sparta War Of Empires?
Isn't everyone?
How am i just now discovering this gem?! This song was ahead of its time
Actually, this song was PERFECT when it came out and everyone loved it
Gant B speaks the truth
@gimmiepig what joke hasnt been stolen?
@@zerabbiitt idk if its true so feel free to look into it, but apparently Louis CK said he came up with most of this song/idea, and dennis "stole" it, which if it actually is true, well it fits with the narrative of the songs kind of ironically doesn't it?
Lavia he came up with a joke that they both used onstage but tbh you can’t credit Louis with the song
this never gets old
No man I feel it everyday every way❤🎉
fun fact: in 1993 this song topped australian radio station triple js "hottest 100" songs of the year - voted by listeners.
I can recall a triple j phone interview with denis after the count to congratulate him on the win. He was very appreciative yet perplexed how it got to number 1.
... I've still got the cd - brilliant year of songs :)
and now JJJ would try and cancel him and all the listeners for hate speech..
@@zakofrx I don't know of JJJ (being a US native), but given people say that about a lot of things that have openly shown left-leaning roots they always had (and oddly so, assuming anyone even cares), Denis Leary very clearly made this back then to parody and make fun of middle class right-leaning and adjacent folk. So if anything, they'd congratulate him even more nowadays
@@MasterOfKnowledge. Leary is from Massachusetts. This song is basically every middle/working class Blue Dog Democrat in New England I grew up with. I don’t know his intentions, but being of his ilk I definitely don’t see this as specifically satirizing conservatism. It’s about class to me.
@@McSwift Eh, could be. It just comes off as one of those songs that takes a dig at a lot of the crass, white-collar, more typically right-leaning crowd of folk just based on general stereotypes, ignoring any state- or region-based ones. Hell, could be digging at both crowds and a be a class thing. I suppose that does give one more thing for people to think about, though
@@zakofrx no they wouldnt
*Here's the Lyrics*
Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American Dream
About me, about you
About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests
About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts
Maybe below the cockles
Maybe in the sub cockle area
Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys
Maybe even in the colon, we don't know
I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job
I'm your average white, suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and books about war
I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor
My wife and my job, my kids and my car
My feet on my table and a Cuban cigar
But sometimes, that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
(Oh, no, no way, uh-uh)
No, I gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense
(Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane
While people behind me are going insane
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole)
I use public toilets, and I piss on the seat
I walk around in the Summer time, saying, "How about this heat?"
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
Sometimes, I park in handicapped spaces
While handicapped people make handicapped faces
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's a real fucking asshole)
Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...
Nah
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible
Hot pink with whale skin hubcaps
And all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for head lights (Yeah)
And I'm gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour
Gettin' one mile per gallon
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's
In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers
And when I'm done sucking down those greaseball burgers
I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side
And there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it
You know why? Because we've got the bomb, that's why
Two words: nuclear fucking weapons, okay?
Russia, Germany, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want
They can have a big democracy cakewalk
Right through the middle of Tiananmen Square
And it won't make a lick of difference
Because we've got the bombs, okay?
John Wayne's not dead, he's frozen
And as soon as we find a cure for cancer
We're gonna thaw out the Duke, and he's gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why?
Have you ever taken a cold shower?
Well, multiply that by fifteen million times
That's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be
I'm gonna get the Duke, and John Cassavetes
And Lee Marvin, and Sam Peckinpah, and a case of whiskey
And drive down to Texas and
(Hey! You know, you really are an asshole!)
Why don't you just shut up and sing the song, pal?
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
Everybody
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
I'm an asshole, and I'm proud of it
You're welcome 😊
Have know the words since I was a teenager. But thank you
