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.

Something Funny
Buck-O-Nine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have waited for you
Every morning, self-supporting
I deploy and listen for it now

It gets written on your face
And then you go to face it
Let's embrace it or erase it now

Liar, liar, liar

I think that something funny's
Happened to me
I said, I think that something funny's
Happened to me
I said, I think that someone should
Erase this or just face it

This a situation
Understated, complicated
Don't avoid the issue
What's the cause?

It's so written on your face
When you go to face it
Let's embrace it or erase it now

Liar, liar, liar

I think that something funny's
Happened to me
I said, I think that something funny's
Happened to me
I said, I think that someone should
Erase this or just face it

Liar, liar, liar

I was always holding on
Involving us, recalling
Waiting for that moment to arrive

Liar, liar, liar

I think that something funny's
Happened to me
I said, I think that something funny's
Happened to me
I said, I think that someone should
Erase this or just face it

I think that someone should erase this
Well, I think that someone should erase this
I think that someone should erase this

I think that someone should erase this
I think that someone should erase this
