1) The Huntingtons were a pop-punk band from Baltimore, Maryland.
They formed in 1993-1994 in the Maryland/Delaware area by Cliff Powell (aka Cliffy Huntington), Mike Holt (aka Mikey Huntington) and Mike Pierce (aka Mikee Huntington).
In 1996, their debut Sweet Sixteen was released by Flying Tart Records. A few months later, their first attempt at recording Ramones covers, entitled Rocket To Ramonia saw limited release via the Burnt Toast Vinyl label. At this point the band added a second guitarist, Tom Rehbein (currently of Small Towns Burn A Little Slower). After working with producer Mass Giorgini for the band's next album, Fun And Games, Tom was replaced by Brad Ber. After the album's release in the summer of 1997, the band started touring and gained a cult following. Their big break came in 1998, when they signed to Tooth & Nail Records and released High School Rock.
After touring for the High School Rock release, the band made a conscious decision to take their Ramones sound to the extreme and released five albums in a one year period. Live: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, File Under Ramones and Get Lost all made it into stores before 1999 was over. The band also played the first of what would become two shows as Joey Ramone's backing band at at CBGB's in NYC. Plastic Surgery and Split were both released to stores in January of 2000. During this period the band went through multiple line-up changes before finally settling in for good with Josh Blackway (aka Jonny Huntington) on second guitar and Rick Wise, formerly of Tantrum Of The Muse, on drums.
The band spent the remainder of 2000 on the road touring throughout the US and Europe.
The spring of 2001 saw the release of Rock 'N' Roll Habits For The New Wave (a collection of newly recorded versions of selected songs from the band's pre-Tooth And Nail era). After perfecting their Ramones-meets-90's pop-punk sound, the band went in a much more pop oriented direction for the Songs In The Key Of You album, which was released in late summer 2001.
Cliffy left the band just before the release of the Songs In The Key Of You record and after a short break, the band regrouped with new guitarist, Andy Dibiaso and toured throughout 2002.
2003 brought two more releases from the band: an EP entitled The Soothing Sounds Of... and their final full-length of all new original material, Self-Titled Album.
The band ended their 10-year run in 2005 with a 30 song best-of disc entitled Growing Up Is No Fun: The Standards '95-'05 and played its final show at the Cornerstone Festival, bringing back Cliffy on guitar.
2) The Huntingtons were a late-60s garage rock band from Aberdeen, Washington.

Huntingtons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tend to disagree
But you, you've gone too far
Cause you, you broke my heart
I don't like it
I don't like it
I don't like it baby
you, you had to go
Cause I, was going to slow
But you, you've gone to far
Cause you, you broke my heart
In "I Don't Like It," the Huntingtons lament a broken heart and the end of a relationship. The opening lines make it clear that the two individuals can't see eye to eye and have a history of disagreement. Despite this, the singer is willing to forgive and move on. However, when the other person ends things and breaks their heart, there's no going back. The lyrics make it clear that the feeling is mutual; both parties don't like how things ended up.
The chorus, "I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it baby, I don't like it," is straightforward and shows frustration and disappointment with the situation. The singer feels hurt and vents his dissatisfaction with the situation in the chorus.
Line by Line Meaning
You, you and me
Both of us, you and I
Tend to disagree
We have a tendency to have differing opinions
But you, you've gone too far
You have exceeded the acceptable limit of our disagreement
Cause you, you broke my heart
You shattered my feelings and emotions
I don't like it
I despise and disapprove of the situation
I don't like it
I abhor the scenario
I don't like it baby
My dislike for this situation is profound, infant
I don't like it
I detest and reject the circumstances
you, you had to go
You thought it was necessary to leave
Cause I, was going to slow
Because I was not moving at the appropriate speed for you
But you, you've gone to far
However, you have surpassed the acceptable boundaries
Cause you, you broke my heart
And as a consequence of your actions, you have caused me emotional pain.
