Perhaps their best-known piece is the theme tune for the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The song "Chewbacca (What a Wookie)" has often been incorrectly credited to Nerf Herder (it was actually performed by Supernova on the Clerks. soundtrack).
Some of their songs that get significant college radio airplay include: "Sorry", "Pantera Fans in Love", "Pervert", "Courtney", "Karaoke King" and "5000 ways to die".
Jacket
Nerf Herder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wore my jacket for the last time
The jacket used to be our history
Now its only covered with your cold memory
So much time I spent with you now
Now all that's left are tears from falling off your bed
Marks made by your sleeping head
Ice cream stains that now I miss
I read the band names on the clothes
GBH, Black Flag and Dr. Know
I saw the Devo patch on your sleeve
And you were in my jacket without me
So much time I spent with you now
Now all that's left are tears from falling off your bed
Marks made by your sleeping head
Lipstick from a drunken kiss
Ice cream stains that now I miss
Blood from when you scraped your cheek
That dirt from walking by the creek
Coffee spilled on our first date
I used to let you wear it in the rain
So much time I spent with you girl
Now all that's left are tears from falling off your bed
Marks made by your sleeping head
Lipstick from a drunken kiss
Ice cream stains that now I miss
You used to wear it in the rain
In Nerf Herder's song "Jacket," the singer reminisces about a jacket that he used to share with his ex-girlfriend. He laments that the jacket, once a physical representation of their relationship history, is now tinged with bitter memories of their breakup. The jacket is described vividly, with specific details about stains and markings that recall memories of moments spent together.
The lyrics seem to suggest that the jacket is a symbol of lost love and memories. The fact that the jacket was borrowed "that night" implies that it was the last time the singer was with his ex-girlfriend. The jacket serves as a reminder of what they shared, but also of what was lost. The list of stains and markings on the jacket further emphasizes how the relationship is now represented by the physical remnants of experiences they shared.
