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.
Perfect Rejection
Nobodys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a couple of bucks and a little good luck, and then I saw you.
You see I went shopping the other day.
I saw this girl and she looked my way.
She had the prettiest smile and the nicest eyes.
So I thought I'd go over and give it a try.
She said, "I'm sorry sir, you can't fulfill my needs."
Then she sold me something I didn't need.
I got the perfect rejection.
The perfect rejection.
It wasn't that bad, it's been worse before.
So I guess I can keep shopping at her store.
I know it's not me, that girls just gay.
"Thank you very much I hope you have a nice day"
She said, "I'm sorry sir, you can't fulfill my needs."
She said, "no way, you're not up to my speed."
Then she sold me something I didn't need.
I got the perfect rejection.
She don't bother with lies, cause she don't like guys.
Rejection.
And I don't know why, no I don't know why.
She said, "I'm sorry sir, you can't fulfill my needs."
She said, "no way, you're not up to my speed."
Then she sold me something I didn't need.
I got the perfect rejection.
She don't bother with lies, cause she don't like guys.
Rejection.
And I don't know why, no I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
The lyrics of Nobody's song Perfect Rejection are about a man who meets a girl while shopping and tries to talk to her. However, the girl rejects him in a polite way by saying that he can't fulfill her needs and he's not up to her speed. Although he is rejected, he takes it well and considers it as the 'perfect rejection'. He realizes that it wasn't a big deal and it's been worse before. He also assumes that it's not his fault that the girl rejected him and she's not interested in guys.
The song highlights the importance of taking rejection not too seriously and moving on. Rather than dwelling on it and feeling bad about oneself, the man in the song is able to maintain a positive attitude and keep shopping at her store. This song could be seen as an inspiration for people who fear rejection and give up easily.

Wow!!!.... That was probably one of the best interviews that I have ever seen.
Jamie Fox : A master story teller, a fantastic actor and talented musician with a brilliant comedic mind...and he has heart felt engaging and relatable stories from his past.
Michael Strahan: Perfectly timed and executed questions, with very little interruption. Just enough to keep it all moving.
Jamie Fox, with so many amazing stories...who knew? I have a whole new level of respect for him now.
That's True God Given Talent, right there.
Makes me proud to be Black, and living in this moment, right now!
