Reel Big Fish - Why Do They Rock So Hard?

For New Year's Eve 1998, a bunch of friends and I went to upstate New York for a Lutheran (yes, it's true) retreat. While I actually had a pretty good time while I was there (we went snow tubing, wrote songs, started a band), I cannot help but remember it as an awful trip because it led directly to my being unceremoniously dumped a few days later. Thankfully, my introduction to Reel Big Fish that weekend was not tainted in my memory like the rest of the trip was.

Before we even left Montvale, Dan put this CD on in the car and skipped to track 4. "Well, first of all, I'd like to say, 'Fuck off.'" Best opening line of a song ever. And knowing it came in handy a few days later.
