Does My Breath Smell?​​blink-182

Released: February 17, 1995

Songwriter: Mark Hoppus Tom DeLonge

Producer: Otis “O” Barthoulameu

[Intro]
Who makes up all the rules about those girls I want?
Who tells them all to laugh?
Who tells them all to talk about me?
And I'm not sure what my purpose is for being here
Why do they, why do they
Always kick me in the groin when I come near
And I'm not complaining it just hurts after a bit

[Verse 1]
I don't know what I'm feeling
I'm just so sick of seeing
All those dumb, lame, and retarded broads
Who often just sit kick back
As I am not so relaxed
I often wonder why they act so odd

[Chorus]
Because no worse a time
When it's just your time to
Think you should make your move
It doesn't work as you're just a jerk with no excuse

[Verse 2]
What about that situation
All night procrastination
Takes you to the point when you lead her to her door
There's nothing left there to say
I guess you best be on your way
But before you go you got to do that chore

[Chorus]
Because no worse a time
When it's just your time to
Think you should make your move
It doesn't work as you're just a jerk with no excuse

[Verse 3]
Please won't you buy in
I'm always trying
I keep on trying
There's only so much pride that I can lose
I hope that when you see me
You see right through me
Come on now, honestly
I'm so sick of ending up without a clue

​​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”.
