1) Mixing four-chord Ramones-inspired rock anthems with an unadulterated pornography fixation, the Nobodys have sprung forth from the fertile grounds of Colorado Springs to become the reigning Ron Jeremys of the punk rock world!
It all began with their 1996 debut album on Hopeless, "Short Songs for Short Attention Spans." Produced by Joe Queer of The Queers, the record, full of two- minute gems, had fans getting it up from coast to coast as the band brought their live show across the country and around the world, touring the US, Europe and Canada several times over. Of course, this only made fans wet for more, so the Nobodys came again with their 1997 tour de force, "Smell of Victory" (produced by Warren Fitzgerald of The Vandals).
Tours with The Queers, Chixdiggit and Guttermouth won over even more converts. By now, collectors were going crazy trying to snatch up all the Nobodys material they could, so the band made it easy by compiling their numerous 7", compilation and demo songs onto one CD, appropriately titled "Greatasstits." (The cover, a close up on the enormous chest of renowned porn star Taylor Wayne, is as unforgettable as the music.) Soon to follow was the inevitable Generation XXX, produced by Donnell Cameron (Bad Religion, Rocket from the Crypt, NOFX) with twenty-five tracks of, what some would call ...sloppy, loud, perverted, snotty, annoying and not to mention overbearing punk rock from Colorado springs... Yeah, that's about right.
2) The Nobodys are a band that had their single "No Guarantees" appear on the TV series Miami Vice.
3) Nobody was a garage rock band from Seattle, WA during the 90's and featured pro skateboarder Scott Smiley on drums.
Hey Doofus
Nobodys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey doofus. You wanna buy me a jug with the money I got selling blood.
I've got twenty dollars and it's all for booze.
Bring me a bottle and I'll share it with you.
Hey doofus. You wanna buy me a jug with the money I got selling blood.
Hey doofus. You wanna buy me a jug so I can go get fucked up.
Hey doooofus.
The lyrics of Nobody's song "Hey Doofus" are straightforward and blunt. It's about a person who is asking someone to buy them alcohol with the money they earned from selling their blood. The use of the word "doofus" implies that the person being addressed is not very intelligent, perhaps just someone they can easily manipulate. The lyrics also suggest that the person has a drinking problem, as they are willing to sell their own blood for alcohol. Despite the darkness of the lyrics, the tone of the song is playful and lighthearted, perhaps making light of the situation.
The repetition of the phrase "Hey doofus" adds a comedic effect to the song, but it also serves to emphasize the singer's desperation. The use of the word "jugs" instead of bottles or any other container creates a sense of abandon and recklessness. The singer is not simply asking for a drink; they are asking for enough alcohol to get "fucked up." The final lines of the song simply repeat the word "doofus," once again highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
Overall, "Hey Doofus" portrays an individual who is struggling with addiction, and perhaps even poverty. The lyrics are both humorous and tragic, shedding a light on the realities of addiction.
