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.

Hold Time just for one night , Hold my breath beside the Time
So let me have a chance , For handling this Surprise
'Memories' please slowly Move on
Till I can hear the voice of his shoes now
Till I can see shining of Superstar

But only think that is bright , is his moves ,is his songs

The song "Song for My Friend" by Nobody pays tribute to the late pop legend Michael Jackson. The lyrics express the singer's longing for the presence of MJ even after his passing. The singer reminisces about the times when he relied on music to ease his sorrows, and Jackson's songs and moves provided comfort. The lyrics suggest that the singer seeks solace in Jackson's music and finds his spirit in the songs, which still live on.
In the first verse, the singer requests to hold onto the moment of tranquility and to seize the opportunity to deal with the sudden feeling of sadness. He is asking for some time to come to terms with the shock of Jackson's death. He desires to hear Jackson's voice, to listen to the sound of his shoes, and to see his shining presence as a superstar once again. The chorus includes several questions that indicate the singer's confusion about the future of music, the identity of his mentor, and who will charm and delight him on the dancefloor while fixing his heartache. The chorus also deeply acknowledges Michael Jackson by addressing him personally and appealing to him with the words "Hey Michael" several times as if he were still with us in a physical form.
The bridge reflects on Jackson's pivotal role in the singer's life, how he has taught him to be strong and offered him solace in troubled times. It emphasizes that MJ's music endures beyond the confines of death and continues to affect and inspire people even after his passing. The final chorus uses an uplifting tone, invoking Jackson as a "Superstar" who still shines brightly in the sky despite his untimely departure from his earthly life.
Overall, "Song for My Friend" serves as a fitting tribute to Michael Jackson, conveying the deep bonds that his music formed between him and his fans, how it made him a superhero and an icon in pop culture.
