I fucked your mom
Thank you
Thank you so very, very much
Hey, this next song is about falling in love
What's it about?
I don't know
This song is about love, let's give it up for love
I'll tell you what I love
You know what the best part of falling in love is?
Sex?
It's the oral sex, that's right
The pleasure
The lyrics to blink-182's song Family Reunion may seem like a list of vulgar words and phrases, but they are actually a nod to comedian George Carlin's bit on the Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television. The use of these words may be shocking to some, but it is a deliberate attempt by the band to be shocking and irreverent. The song consists mainly of repeating these seven words and adding a few other vulgar terms, climaxing with the line "I fucked your mom."
The second half of the song takes a strange turn as the band introduces the next track as a love song, but then quickly pivots to discussing the joys of oral sex. This sudden shift in tone is also intentional, as blink-182 has always been known for their humor and tongue-in-cheek approach to songwriting. Overall, while the song may not have any deep or profound meaning, it is a perfect representation of the band's irreverent and playful personality.
