You think pop punk, you think of this band.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So, we are heading back to the 2000s today.
- Okay.
- (FBE) And we're gonna see how well you know
some pop punk songs. - Gosh.
They're gonna all sound the same to me.
- I think I'm gonna know a lot of the songs.
Whether I can guess the title and the artist is a different story.
- I don't have super high hopes.
I did listen to some pop punk music, but I wasn't-- I don't know.
I wasn't a huge fan.
- I love pop punk music.
When I first heard Fall Out Boy, that was the first time
I was really into music.
I'm confident about this.

I love it so much.
This is one of their most popular.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - What is the band?
What is the band? I don't know the song for sure.
- "Dance Dance" by Panic! at the Disco.
- Fall Out Boy, but I don't know the song.
- "Dance Dance" by Fall Out Boy.
- This is "Dance Dance" by Fall Out Boy.
- "Dance Dance" by Fall Out Boy.
- Every time I hear all their songs, I can't tell the lyrics.
- I knew the title 'cause it was "Dance Dance."
Man, I got them flipped!
- I know who Fall Out Boy is.
This song is what I think of when I think of pop punk.
- (FBE) The name "Fall Out Boy" was chosen when the band
asked the crowd in their second show what their name should be,
and an audience member shouted out, "Fall Out Boy,"
the name of The Simpson's fictional superhero
Radioactive Man's sidekick.
- Were The Simpsons okay with it?
I feel like someone somewhere will get upset about it
and try to sue.
- I heard this story.
I don't know if they had a name before then.
Were they completely nameless?
- For them to be like, "Oh hey, yeah, let's just do that name,"
even though they didn't know the background of that,
that's kind of funky.
- Okay, I had no connection to even how they even thought
of their name, but I love that it came from a fan
because then it's like that fan got to kind of take credit for that.
Like, "Yeah, no big deal, but I named
one of the biggest pop punk bands of the 2000s."

♪ Stacy's mom has got it... ♪ - "Stacy's mom"?
That's so messed up.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - I don't know.
- I don't know the artist. I know it's "Stacy's Mom."
- "Stacy's Mom." No idea who it's by.
- "Stacy's Mom." I don't know the artist.
- "Stacy's Mom." Don't know the artist, though.
- (FBE) This is "Stacy's Mom," and it's by Fountains of Wayne.
- I would've never guessed that.
- I know this song. It's so familiar to me,
but I don't know that artist.
- It's a classic.
Even if you don't listen to pop punk, you have to know this song.
It's like "Jessie's Girl." Everyone knows it.
- (FBE) So the song was a commercial success
and reached number one on iTunes Most Downloaded Songs chart.
In 2004, it was nominated for a Grammy award
for best vocal pop performance and the music video
features Rachel Hunter as Stacy's mom.
- Oh, dang!
Okay, I really want to watch the music video now.
Let's pull it up really quick.
- They were Grammy nominated.
It is catchy, but it's also a little problematic.
- It's such a good song.
It takes me back to camp.
They would play this song.
Everybody would just be going insane,
just screaming at the top of their lungs the words.

So much nostalgia.
It's so weird because I'm still so young
and I don't really get the sense of nostalgia as much,
but when I do, it hits me so hard.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - No.
- I don't.
- "Happy Ending"? No idea who the artist is.
- Avril Lavigne, "Happy Ending."
- It's "Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne.
- "My Happy Ending," Avril Lavigne.
(sighing) I love that song.
- Yes! Yes! Avril Lavigne, of course.
- Avril Lavigne rocked my world in the 2000s.
- I love her.
I used to tell people my favorite color was white,
black, and pink, just because of Avril Lavigne.

Pop punk songs are repetitive, but this one's not repetitive.
It has a lot of lyrics and the lyrics are deep.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - No.
- I do not.
- No idea.
- I don't think I've ever heard it, but I like it.
- "Dear Maria, Count Me In" by All Time Low?
- "Dear Maria, Count Me In" by All Time Low.
- (FBE) This one is called "Dear Maria, Count Me In,"
and it's by All Time Low.
- Never heard of All Time Low.
- This is a good entry to pop punk.
If someone wanted to learn more about pop punk,
you'd show them All Time Low.
- Honestly, I'm not that big of a fan, but I really like that song,
so that's how I know them.
It's a classic and it's something that's super catchy
and it's really good.

by Bowling for Soup. - What are these names?
- No idea who Bowling for Soup is.
- I've heard of that band.
I couldn't tell you any of their songs.
- I literally thought of bowling, and then a bowling ball
going into a soup bowl.
- Where have they been, though?
I genuinely like this song, but where's Bowling for Soup now?
Are they still bowling for soup?

- I love her voice, the raspy voice.
It's super unique and as soon as I heard that,
I knew who it was.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - I'm clueless.
- P!nk. I don't know this song.
- It's P!nk, "Ill"?
- "Make Me Ill" by P!nk?
- "Keep Making Me Ill" by P!nk?
- "Just Like a Pill" by P!nk!
- "Just Like a Pill" by P!nk.
- (FBE) So this one's "Just Like a Pill,"
and it's by P!nk.
- Oh, first time I've ever heard P!nk, on SpongeBob.
- That's who it is. It's P!nk.
I don't know why it didn't click that that was her voice.
- She was a big part of the 2000s for me
because me and my cousin would always listen to her in the car
and we'd sing her lyrics.
- No one else has the same voice as her.
Hers is very gravelly, very rough, and I love it.
It's so unique.

- (FBE) Do you know it? - "American Idiot" by Green Day?
- "American Idiot," Green Day.
- "American Idiot" by Green Day.
- This is "American Idiot" by Green day.
- Heck yeah!
- It's weird because people would never think
that I listened to Green Day growing up, but I did.
I loved Green Day, growing up.
- Green Day is just one of those bands that has been around forever,
but their career is still very prominent in everyone's mind,
no matter what generation you're from.
So even though I wasn't really there
to experience the start of their career,
they were a big part of music.
- (FBE) The title refers to the state of the United States
at this point in time.
It was released during the 2004 presidential campaign,
where George W. Bush was re-elected.
- So they were getting political.
They're going straight for it by calling the song "American Idiot."
- If you're making this big political statement
and everybody's listened to the song, everyone's gonna hear,
everyone's gonna know what it's about.
- I think its very smart and really creative.
Because, you know, no one's gonna remember
the speech word-for-word, you know, but everyone's gonna remember the song.
This is an iconic song.
