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 gotta go gotta get it soon.
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get away.
Gonna get in my old car.
Gonna drive it so damn far.
Gotta get my ass out to L.A.
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get away.
Cause my old man says I can't stay.
Gonna go out and start a band.
We're gonna be from L.A. man.
We're gonna get hip, we're gonna sound real cool.
Gonna muffle every chord.
Gonna get a new skateboard.
Gonna write my love songs just for you.
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get away.
Cause ma and pop says I can't stay.
Yeah Yeah Yeah.
Gonna go out and get a girl.
She's gonna teach me about the world.
Gonna take her out every night.
She'll say I'm wrong when I know I'm right.
She won't believe a word I say.
Play her all the songs I steal.
Tell her I got a record deal.
I guess I have to learn to play.
I really need to get away.
Cause mom and dad says I can't stay.
I got kicked out.
I got kicked out.
I got kicked out.
I know my brother's really glad.
I got kicked out.
I got kicked out.
I got kicked out.
I got kicked out by my mom and dad.
The lyrics to Nobody's song "Kicked Out" tell the story of a young person who feels trapped and stifled in their current life, particularly by their parents who won't let them stay in their home any longer. The singer expresses a desire to escape to L.A., where they plan to start a band and become "hip" and "cool." They also hope to find a girl who will show them the world and support their musical ambitions. The repetition of the phrase "I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get away" emphasizes the urgency of their desire to leave and start a new life.
The lyrics reflect a common theme in punk music of young people feeling frustrated and disempowered. The singer is seeking freedom and self-expression, something that they feel is impossible in their current situation. The idea of starting a band in L.A. specifically is also significant, as it was a hub of punk music in the 1970s and 80s, when the song was originally released.
Some possible interpretations of the song include a critique of conformity and the pressure to conform to societal expectations, particularly within the family. The singer's desire to "muffle every chord" and write love songs "just for you" could be interpreted as a rejection of mainstream music trends and a desire to create something unique and personal. Additionally, the line "She'll say I'm wrong when I know I'm right" could be seen as a commentary on the difficulty of asserting oneself in a world that often values conformity over individuality.
