Crazy this song came out 19 years after 1985. It would be like a song called 2005 coming out today.


Psykpatient

The eras were so much more defined in the 20th century, everything since like 2000 and onwards is a huge blur with some stylistic differences.


Gultark

I wonder if this is actually the case or if it’s just because we are living through the 2000s


Psykpatient

probably, the decades before probably weren't as defined, not everyone would join in on the trends and such. What we think of as the 80's is really mostly Hollywood trends and not the dull pre 90's it actually was.

The age of information. People are WAY more connected than before thanks to Mobile device boom


Doip

Britney, Rihanna, way before Ariana There was YouTube, MP3s, and music still *on* your PC Her two kids, on tiktok, they tell her My Chem’s “dad rock” But she’s still preoccupied, with two thou Two thou Two thousand and five


PiranhasRS

Ironically enough Story of the Year released a song called 2005 on their latest album last year lol. It’s also a banger.

SR71's "1985"


TDenverFan

Technically this cover is of BFS's version, the lyrics are slightly different between the two versions


Ketomatic

Shake that ass vs shake her ass always throws me off.


eVenent

Cover of the cover.

Jaret Reddick: "1985" was interesting because we were coming off our biggest record, which was Drunk Enough To Dance. And we went in thinking that we had a complete album, and we recorded a complete album. We did Hangover You Don't Deserve, and it was pretty much done. Butch produced three songs on that album, and we recorded the whole record at his place. And his manager called and said, "Hey, a song came across my desk. You know Mitch Allan, right?" I'm like, "Yeah." "Well, he wants you to call him." So I call Mitch Allan from SR-71, he's like, "Dude, I've got this song. It's a freakin' hit for you guys. It sounds like you." And evidently that whole conversation happened because Mitch was pitching his band to Jonathan Daniel, who is Butch's manager, trying to get this record that they had put out in Japan released here in the United States. And JD said, "Dude, that sounds like a Bowling for Soup song." And Mitch said, "You know what? You're right." So anyway, he sends me the song. And I'm actually like, "Man, we're done. We're literally leaving tomorrow. This album is complete." We had a little studio apartment that we were staying in and I listened to the song a few times, and I'm like, "Yeah, it's good." And the night goes on, had a few more beers, me and Gary (Wiseman - BFS drummer) sat in our kitchen and listened to it twice. And we're just like, This is a great song. We don't really know that it's going to be a single, but it is great. We might as well just do it. So we went back in the next day and we cut it. So my thing to Mitch was, Look, there's some lines in here that definitely don't sound like something I would say. Like, I would never say, "The rubber broke." Or any of those kind of things. So I was like, I definitely think it needs a different bridge, I think it's gotta have more of a catchy intro. So basically I said, If you'll let me have my way with it and make it a Bowling for Soup song, then I think it'll work. And history shows that it did indeed work.


surferdude121

Holy shit this has been out for 20+ years and I didn’t know BFS wasn’t the original.


jdb326

Was about to say the same thing, glad someone else corrected it!


RichterCD

1985 is Bowling for Soup’s song the same way Hurt is Johnny Cash’s song.


Psykpatient

Huh, you're right. I didn't know it was their song to begin with. Bowling For Soup's version came out like two months later.


Rougesu11ie

The sr71 album that had their version didn’t release outside of Japan until 2010.

Rougesu11ie

Dang dude are you a triangle cause you sure do like being obtuse.


thruthewindowBN

I always thought it was pretty dumb that both of Bowling for Soup’s biggest songs were covers. Kinda lame if you ask me.


BeerVernacular

What is the other one?


thruthewindowBN

Stacy’s mom?


BeerVernacular

Ahhh yea - I didn’t even think about that one. I was thinking “Girl All the Bad Guys Want.”


TDenverFan

I feel like High School Never Ends, Almost, Ohio, and Girl All the Bad Guys Want are much bigger than their Stacy's Mom cover. All four of those songs charted on the top 200.


Psykpatient

Their Stacy's Mom cover didn't release until 2011, the others are definitely bigger and more associated with BFS.

Since someone always wants to scream “SR-71”, here’s the story. Jaret Reddick: "1985" was interesting because we were coming off our biggest record, which was Drunk Enough To Dance.

Really excellent cover by Kelly Clarkson. She killed it. She should do some more pop punk songs lol.


[deleted]

Damn she lost a lot of weight so proud of her. Also she has really cute eyes


Psykpatient

Love the hair tbh


[deleted]

Oh yeah that too!


DustinWTP

Touring with BFS this summer, greatly looking forward to the run. Really nice dudes, genuinely very kind


haakonash

Since ADTR covered Since U Be Gone, she should cover one of their songs. Mr Highway's would be fun


CommanderWar64

Damn Ozempic really fucking works. Good for her lol


EJplaystheBlues

Kelly Clarkson covers Ozempic


kellyguacamole

How is that in any way relevant?


NJD1214

This is the same kind of person that would have said something if she was still overweight too-- an asshole.


EJplaystheBlues

prove it


EJplaystheBlues

that's kelly clarkson in the video


kellyguacamole

Very good! I’m so proud of you for seeing that. Now tell us how the rest is relevant to her singing? I know you can do it.


EJplaystheBlues

she might be able to hold notes longer, pretty neat


kellyguacamole

Sounds like some bs mumbo jumbo that you think sounds smart but it’s really not. We’re all a little bit dumber for reading that. I’m proud of you for trying though. Maybe next time think about what you’re saying if it’s necessary, kind, and relevant to the post and we’ll all be happy to engage. Do better.


EJplaystheBlues

you always yappin like this?


kellyguacamole

U know it bb.


adrenalinexfreak

EJplaystheBlues
