Touchdown Boy​​blink-182

Released: February 17, 1995

Songwriter: Mark Hoppus Tom DeLonge

Producer: Otis “O” Barthoulameu

[Verse 1]
There's this one guy
There's no one like him in all the world
Cause you can always see
Those girls down on their knees
In those dark sweaty rooms
Planning out his thoughts
He's waiting for just the right

[Chorus]
One by one as they
Walk right through the door, they
Keep on coming back I
Guess they just want more
He has fun fun fun and you
Might call him a whore, but
Just look where he's at cause
He is the one that scores

[Interlude: Mark and Tom as play-by-play radio announcers]
Mark: Well Tom, it looks like he's passing the ball to his tight end
Tom: I wasn't sure if he knew that a tight end
Could be a wide receiver
But haha, but little does he know
Mark: Yeah, he won't be alone this weekend I don't think
Tom: That's funny that you say that because, uh
Like a dog he's loyal to his bone

[Verse 2]
I saw my friend there
Out on the field today
I asked him where he's going, he said
"All the way," now

[Chorus]
One by one as they
Walk right through the door, they
Keep on coming back I
Guess they just want more
He has fun fun fun and you
Might call him a whore, but
Just look where he's at cause
He is the one that scores

[Outro]
Go!

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
