Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus

“One of the coolest things about this song is the little drone thing the acoustic guitar does just behind the 3 and the 1 during the verses. Without it, the verses wouldn't have the same dreaminess and evoke the singer's perception of his social position as lowly and dull as well as they do and there wouldn't of course be as much contrast with that killer teenage angst-ridden chorus. Ultimately, it's a song about how wrong our perceptions of ourselves and others can be. My only quibble is that I think it would have been more obvious from the start that the girl was an Iron Maiden fan. Surely, the tatts and nose ring should have been a dead giveaway?”
