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.
Roommates
Nobodys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Roommates - They're a bunch of fucks.
Roommates - I think they're lame.
Roommates - They're all the same.
They stay up all night, they eat your food.
They destroy everything in sight, I come unglued.
I think you suck, what's wrong with you?
Roommates - They're a bunch of slobs.
Roommates - Can't get a job.
Roommates - They're always there.
Roommates - I just don't care.
They sit at home all day, they wreck the place.
Can't pay the rent, I can't stand your face.
Nothing's left to say, get off my case.
Get out of my way, I can't stand this place.
Everywhere I go, they're all the same.
Everyone I meet, they're fucking lame.
