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.
I Sniff Glue
Nobodys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to "I Sniff Glue" by the band Nobody's are a commentary on drug addiction and its isolating effects on relationships. The singer explains that he won't have a beer with his friend because he is "screwed up" from his addiction to sniffing glue. The friend tells him he doesn't have a clue about life, but the singer knows he has a problem and can't help but turn to sniffing glue. He lists off different types of glue he uses and mentions a friend named Randy who also struggles with this addiction.
The song captures the desperation and loneliness that often accompany drug addiction, as the singer feels disconnected from those around him and unable to break free from his habit. The use of mundane household items like glue to escape reality also highlights the banality of addiction and how it can take hold of anyone, no matter their background or social status.
Overall, "I Sniff Glue" offers an unflinching look at the destructive nature of addiction and the challenges of recovery, both for the addict and those around them.
