Based in San Diego, the band was on the horizon of a change in the music industry. At the time the catch phrase was “Grunge.” The band was eager to take a different path. With their backgrounds in Punk/Metal bands, Reggae bands and 2nd wave Ska bands, Buck-O-Nine had the formula for what was to become a new mutation of sounds. Inspired by the early founders of this new sound, Buck-O-Nine admired the works of Fishbone, Operation Ivy, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and the Voodoo Glow Skulls.

Buck-O-Nine has released several albums including Songs in the Key of Bree, Barfly, Twenty-Eight Teeth, and Libido.

Currently Buck-O-Nine still plays shows for fun. They have re-connected with the positive, fun vibe that the band originated from.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to go and party,
I don't want to shoot the pier,
I don't want to take the doggie for a walk,
I don't want to look at naked chicks and drink beer,
I don't want to do a bong load, go and wrench on a car,
I don't want to hose the dog shit down,
'Cause I ain't even gonna get out of bed,
I ain't gettin',

I ain't gettin' out of bed today,
I ain't gettin',
I ain't gettin' out of bed today,
Keep on skankin' Ronnie,
Skank the night away,
But the time is coming,
For us all to pay.
I don't want to watch no porno,
And I don't want to play guitar,
I don't want to spank the monkey,
I don't want to go down to the corner bar,
And I ain't even got to listen
To all the stupid shit you got to say.
I don't want to do a goddamn thing.
I don't want to,
Want to leave my bed today
I don't want
Want to leave my bed today
I don't want
I don't want to leave my bed today
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Keep on skankin' Ronnie,
Skank the night away,
But the time is coming,
For us all to pay
I don't want to eat burritos,
Or read about OJ
No I don't want to get a head rush
'Cause I ain't even gettin' out of bed today
I ain't gettin',
I ain't gettin' out of bed today,
I ain't gettin',
I ain't gettin' out of bed today,
I ain't got to leave my bed today
No, no, no, no, no, no
Keep on skankin' Ronnie,
Skank the night away,

But the time is coming,
For us all to pay

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Buck-O-Nine's song "Burritos" illustrate a day in the life of someone who simply does not want to do anything. The singer expresses their disinterest in typical pastimes such as partying, surfing, taking walks, and watching pornography. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer does not want to get out of bed that day. The song ends with a reminder that there will eventually be consequences for their inactivity, which could be perceived as a commentary on laziness or the avoidance of responsibility.

The repetition of the chorus throughout the song reinforces the idea that the singer is feeling particularly unmotivated that day. The mention of specific activities, such as "shooting the pier" and "spank the monkey," adds humor to the song while also underscoring the singer's apathy. The reference to "reading about OJ" is notable in that it places the song in the mid-90s, when OJ Simpson's trial was a topic of national conversation.

"Burritos" has been interpreted in a number of different ways, from a tongue-in-cheek commentary on slacker culture to a thematic nod to depression or burnout. Nevertheless, the song's catchy ska-punk rhythm and humorous lyrics make it a fan favorite and a staple of Buck-O-Nine's live performances.
